There are different things that a player wants. They all want to win a championship but one thing that Atlanta Hawks superstar Trae Young wants is some simple respect. Apart from being named to the All-Star team just prior to the COVID hiatus, there has been little but criticism come his way.

For so many years Young has been told that he is too small, that he is not a top-level player due to not defending, that he is a foul-baiter. All of this has added fuel to his internal fire which drives him each and every day to be the best version of himself that he can possibly be.
