Amidst the excitement of the NBA playoffs, New York Knicks fans resurrected a familiar chant aimed at Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young despite the Hawks’ absence from this year’s postseason.

The chant, which originated following the Knicks’ defeat by the Hawks in the 2021 playoffs, resurfaced after a recent victory over the Philadelphia 76ers at Madison Square Garden.

Despite Trae Young’s lack of involvement in the Knicks’ recent game against the 76ers, chants of “F**k Trae Young!” echoed outside the arena, reflecting lingering sentiments from past playoff encounters.

While some fans viewed the chant as harmless fun, others interpreted it as a reminder of the Knicks’ playoff disappointment against the Hawks.

Comments from online NBA enthusiasts reflected a range of opinions, with some sympathizing with the Knicks fans’ lingering disappointment and others urging them to let go of past grievances.

Despite differing viewpoints, the resurgence of the “F**k Trae Young!” chant served as a reminder of the intense rivalries and enduring memories that define NBA fandom.
