As the numbers for the All-Star Game are now known, now comes the time of the disappointed, players who have been forgotten or even snubbed. Among these, there is a name that comes a lot: Trae Young. Since the start of his career, the playmaker has still participated three times in this gala match (2020, 2022 and 2024).
But, he never manages to chain two seasons immediately among the stars. With 22.7 points and 11.4 medium assists, the best league passer will not be celebrating in 2025. Is it disappointed?
“What is the novelty?” »»,, he reacts Faced with this new season without presence at the All-Star Game. “Lots of thoughts cross my mind. I will talk about it later in my life, or in the season. Afterwards, that's how. The 24 best players in the league are supposed to be there: this is not the case and there is one. That's all I have to say. »»
“I was all-star before and I will be for the rest of my life, it doesn't matter if I'm today”
As this is not the first time that this meeting is missing despite big statistics, he does not see a particular engine to motivate himself. “I'm used to that, it doesn't feed me. I was all-star before and I will be for the rest of my life, it doesn't matter if I am today. Congratulations to these guys “he slips.
Quin Snyder does not hide his dissatisfaction with his playmaker, who had finished fourth from the exteriors to the east behind Donovan Mitchell and Jalen Brunson (holders) then Lamelo Ball.
“I am extremely disappointed. There are so many players who deserve it. I think of the players who are there and deserve it, but that does not prevent me from feeling this for Trae Young ”, says the Hawks coach. “I haven't coached him for a long time but I find that he is making the best season in his career. Statistically, it is confirmed, he is the best passer in the league and there are points and passes in the Money Time. I do not want to disrespect anyone, but, as I am his coach, I am allowed to express my disappointment in the face of his non-selection. It's unfortunate and I'm sorry for him. »»
