New York Knicks Fans Let Out Some Wild Chants

Despite Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks not making it to the NBA playoffs this season, New York Knicks fans revived a memorable chant aimed at the star player from years past. The chant echoed a historic moment in their playoff history.

The Knicks and the Hawks last met in a playoff series in 2021, a matchup that ended in disappointment for New York as the Hawks dominated, winning the series in five games. Trae Young emerged as the standout star of that playoff series, leading the Hawks to victory and sending the Knicks packing.

The chant “F**k Trae Young!” has become a fixture among Knicks fans, serving as a form of taunt directed at the Atlanta Hawks star. Following the Knicks’ victory over the 76ers at Madison Square Garden, the chant echoed outside the arena, despite Trae Young having no involvement in the game between the Knicks and the Sixers.

The synchronized chant reflects a lighthearted attempt by fans to relive past memories and inject some humor into the moment. However, it also underscores that some Knicks supporters are still grappling with the disappointment of their defeat to the Hawks in the playoffs from a few years ago.

NBA Twitter reacts to the Trae Young Chants

The video of the Trae Young chants by Knicks fans was posted on X (formerly Twitter). The NBA fans online on X were quick to express their opinions in the comments section. One fan commented, “People gonna take this so seriously lmao they just having fun atp” highlighting that some people may take the chants seriously when the New York fans are just having fun.

Another fan comments, “Why are they bringing up Trae” questioning the involvement of T-Young in all this. Another comment said, “They still hurt from him ending their season,” highlighting that the Knicks fans were still not over the loss from a few years ago.
