LeBron James Has High Praise For Trae Young And His Crazy Shot

Whenever you pull off an incredible shot like that, you’re going to draw attention from some of the biggest stars in the NBA. For Young, those stars included LeBron James.

In the comments section of Young’s post, you can see that LeBron’s has the most likes so far. Earning the praise of the Lakers superstar must feel good for Young.

The Hawks star absolutely balled out this season, averaging a ridiculous 25.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 9.4 assists per game. Things only got better in the playoffs as Young surprisingly led Atlanta to the Eastern Conference Finals where they would lose to the eventual NBA champions Milwaukee Bucks in 6 games.

The future is bright for Young and the Hawks, and if they can have a solid offseason, Ice Trae could be gearing up for another great run next season.
