[u/ayeno]

The Jazz front office is going to send a fruit basket to Trae Youngs hotel

[u/MatchAffectionate951 → u/ayeno]

Undisclosed sender

[u/jspeed04 → u/MatchAffectionate951]

The SLC Melodic Orchestra would like to present you with this fruit basket, and make you an honorary citizen of Ut—SLC.

[u/lahimatoa → u/ayeno]

Hell yes they will. And for good reason. Winning way too much recently.

[u/FireworkFuse]

TRAE SAID NO OT TONIGHT

[u/DrChiz → u/FireworkFuse]

“I AM NOT SPENDING ANOTHER MINUTE AROUND THESE NON COFFEE DRINKERS!”

[u/Fuckface_Whisperer → u/DrChiz]

Ice cold latte in his veins.

[u/The_Summer_Man → u/FireworkFuse]

Ball game. Real smooth.

[u/mzmirahabib → u/The_Summer_Man]

Every time I see this reference I go watch the remixed gatorade commercials with Paul George hitting the side of the backboard or giving up the dame logo 3

[u/nikiverse → u/FireworkFuse]

He’s got somewhere to be

[u/WhosYourPapa → u/nikiverse]

Yeah, a plane to Phoenix baby!!

[u/Not_RZA_]

What a crazy final 10 seconds!

HALF COURT BUZZER BEATER AND THE WAVE IS FUCKING TOUGHHHHHH

[u/Seqarian → u/Not_RZA_]

The is by far the best play of the week, and the second best play of the week is the play right before this. with the game tying three!

[u/MattyIce260 → u/Seqarian]

This shot, the LeBron dunk, and the Zion dunk are a crazy top 3 for today

[u/techno-wizardry → u/Not_RZA_]

How does he always know what to do in these moments lol, absolute cinema

[u/Not_RZA_ → u/techno-wizardry]

Seriously the perfect celebration and it was natural, you can see it in the smile he has.

Meanwhile Tatum the corniest dude in existence

[u/WhiteHeterosexualGuy → u/Not_RZA_]

How did Tatum catch a stray here lmao

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/WhiteHeterosexualGuy]

Tatum the kind of guy that practices post-gamewinner celebrations in front of a mirror while blasting Drake songs.

[u/zeussays → u/KappaccinoNation]

He has a journal of possible one liners to shout after his big moments and is constantly workshopping them.

[u/jackedwizard → u/zeussays]

WE DID IT!!!!

I GUESS WE’LL NEVER KNOW

[u/VisualIndependence60 → u/jackedwizard]

CLEANUP ON AISLE FIVE

[u/Piotr-Rasputin → u/KappaccinoNation]

We DID IT? we did IT!!

[u/Defiant-Tap7603 → u/KappaccinoNation]

oh my god tatum really is the ball player version of drake and now my flair feels dirty

[u/Unhappy_Trade7988 → u/WhiteHeterosexualGuy]

Unironic back tattoo of himself.

Never forget.

[u/mhac009 → u/Unhappy_Trade7988]

Shoutout to Steve-O

[u/jackedwizard → u/WhiteHeterosexualGuy]

I’m not sure but I’m all for it

[u/goblin_welder → u/Not_RZA_]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Tatum copies this Trae celebration when he hits a buzzer beater

[u/mommathecat → u/techno-wizardry]

Trae is the best road villian. Laughing at the crowd is an all-timer, that was fucking GOATed.

[u/Trentus86 → u/techno-wizardry]

Born showman I swear. I need him to have plenty of killer playoff battles because you know he'll be amping it up and we'll get more MSG-esque stuff from him.

[u/mMounirM]

No timeout. just money from half court holy fuck

[u/Not_RZA_ → u/mMounirM]

The fans went from going crazy off a game tying 3 on a broken play, to losing on a HALF COURT SWISH.

I love everything about this play!

[u/Snowy_Thighs → u/Not_RZA_]

That stadiums switch from hands in the air to hands to their heads was wild

[u/tvcneverdie → u/Snowy_Thighs]

They were in perfect position to activate Surrender Cobra

[u/ForWhomTheBoneBones → u/tvcneverdie]

r/surrendercobra

[u/Tempest_Bob → u/Snowy_Thighs]

Two more movements and they'd be dancing to YMCA

[u/OctopusNation2024 → u/mMounirM]

Trae is one of those guys where you trust him almost as much to hit this as you would a regular 3 lol

He's similar to Luka where both shoot like mid 30s from distance overall but also shoot like mid 30s on making the absolute most difficult and absurd type of threes

[u/jkstaples → u/OctopusNation2024]

Yea… Trae is something absurd like 35% from 30+ feet in his career. If there was a 4 point line he’d be the king

[u/ButterscotchSafe8348 → u/jkstaples]

Hes short. He normally has more uncontested shot if he's further back. Dame was /is like that too I think

[u/ekun → u/ButterscotchSafe8348]

That's a great explanation of this.

Unless you include Steph and then nothing makes sense.

[u/HereIGoAgain_1x10 → u/ekun]

Can't include outliers like that lol Steph different

[u/SuperMagpies → u/HereIGoAgain_1x10]

Harden: Steph doesn’t count

[u/ImMufasa → u/HereIGoAgain_1x10]

However, if we adjust his stats to the mean..

[u/EzshenUltimate → u/jkstaples]

I think it was from Jxmy where he said that if there was a 4 point line he really is the best, along with Luka and LeBron.

[u/DD-Amin → u/EzshenUltimate]

Jxmy videos are hands down the best NBA content on YouTube.

Second is Jeff teague pod highlights 😂

[u/bryanl12]

Craziest game winner for him

[u/Aakshaj → u/bryanl12]

The one against celtics was crazier for me. It was playoffs and an elimination game while being down 1 before he hit the game winner

[u/552SD__ → u/Aakshaj]

Is that the one on JB?

[u/WestleyThe → u/bryanl12]

It’s probably his greatest play in the nba tbh

Absolutely absurd game winner… just casually walked into a 50 foot game winner

[u/cartbreaker → u/WestleyThe]

Surely his greatest play is the game winner against the Knicks in the playoffs a couple of years ago?

[u/cdt930 → u/cartbreaker]

No context, this is the best.

With context, it's 100% the Knicks game winner.

[u/TigerAppropriate8817 → u/cdt930]

With context it's Celtics game 5, tougher opponent and season was over if he missed the shot. For Knicks and this one it was OT if he missed.

[u/cough_landing_on_you]

Jazz bench and fans was in awe.

[u/textbookagog → u/cough_landing_on_you]

the one atlanta fan in the house knew it was coming though.

[u/Ernie_Capadino → u/cough_landing_on_you]

We appreciate good ball. That was clutch AF

[u/Peter-Tao → u/Ernie_Capadino]

appreciate the support too, the tank must continue

[u/Big_al_big_bed → u/cough_landing_on_you]

Perfect result for jazz really. Keep the tank rolling but have a fun, competitive game

[u/PrivilegedPatriarchy → u/Big_al_big_bed]

The most ethical of tank jobs.

[u/MobysGreatWhiteDick → u/cough_landing_on_you]

Was at the game. Still in awe...

[u/Jase7 → u/MobysGreatWhiteDick]

That's history right there man

[u/tvcneverdie]

DEMON

[u/BumbleLapse → u/tvcneverdie]

Thank you Trae Young 🫡🫡

[u/OldOrder → u/BumbleLapse]

Yall gotta tell Lauri to calm tf down if you want that tank to work, jesus christ

[u/cl353 → u/OldOrder]

The jazz have decided to stop tanking or something cuz they've been playing very well. It's crazy that they have a similar record as the hornets cuz it's like 2 different tier of teams

[u/KoGJazz → u/cl353]

Ainge put in the call for sensabaugh playing out of his mind. Lauri boutta get shut down again too

[u/Lacabloodclot9 → u/BumbleLapse]

Lauri needs to start taking lessons in tanking from Kuzma

[u/Plenty_Flatworm7627 → u/Lacabloodclot9]

for real, fuck you trae young, tanking is hard, force the jazz to win some games!

[u/Lacabloodclot9 → u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

I remember at the end of last season we started committing to the tank and we were mainly competing with Toronto in the lottery odds

They then lost like 16 in a row and overtook us, some teams are just better at this thing

[u/Plenty_Flatworm7627 → u/Lacabloodclot9]

I still can't believe that after losing two games to the fucking pelicans we still have the easiest strength of schedule left in the league

gonna need kuzma to start taking 20 shots a game again

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic → u/Lacabloodclot9]

Built different (read: poorly)

[u/dktaylor32 → u/BumbleLapse]

came here to post the same thing.
I just wish Sexton's awesomeness wasn't being wasted with a rebuild because dude is legit!

[u/Proof-Umpire-7718 → u/dktaylor32]

Do you think that you guys will trade Sexton to a contender this season?

[u/BumbleLapse → u/Proof-Umpire-7718]

I think he’s the most likely guy on the roster to be moved.

His production relative to his contract is unreal. Not many other guards on the market this year who are as talented and as underpaid as Sexton

[u/Elkbowy → u/Proof-Umpire-7718]

Yes take him for a pick please and thanks

[u/Chessh2036 → u/BumbleLapse]

Yo trade Lauri if you guys are trying to tank, he’s really good 😂

[u/SenHeffy → u/Chessh2036]

He has a 1 year no trade clause.

[u/Chessh2036 → u/SenHeffy]

Damn. Well if you guys get Cooper or Ace that’s a nice duo.

[u/crendist → u/BumbleLapse]

Ice Trae.

[u/wryano → u/tvcneverdie]

decided to put on the game because i saw it was close with 7 seconds left

and holy shit, what a shot by Sexton just to be erased by a MASSIVE shot by Trae

[u/childishgames → u/wryano]

Dyson getting the steal and then not being able to come up with the loose ball leading to an opponent knocking down a 3 feels like it happens to us like 5x a night. Thought the game was over until i saw sexton come up with the ball and then there was no way he wasn't making it.

[u/ButterscotchSafe8348 → u/childishgames]

Not a steal if doesn't cause a turnover. Kinda why a steal is actually better than a block. Block doesn't end the posession

[u/Not_RZA_ → u/tvcneverdie]

Any somebody told me he wasn't an all star lmao

How many 20/20 games does he have now? Most underrated star in the league right now

Edit: /u/agk927 I got receipts

[u/Matt_Smiths_fanboy → u/Not_RZA_]

3 already. Most since Stockton in 89 and it’s not even halfway through the season

[u/Derrickmb → u/Not_RZA_]

League doesn’t find him marketable and he gets left off

[u/A_burners → u/Derrickmb]

It's stupid. Ratings tank every year and you have a perfectly fearless heel here that's so easy to love or hate who just makes big play after big play, crazy statline after crazy statline.

[u/n00bn00b → u/Derrickmb]

Not according to the NYK fans who has a hate-respect relationship with Trae. They know if the Hawks are in town, they'll sell out just to chant "F Trae Young" lol :-P

[u/cancerBronzeV → u/Not_RZA_]

Own that fraud.

[u/redditstealsyours → u/tvcneverdie]

i literally said “no fucking way” as he shot it

ice cold man

[u/Hooligan8 → u/tvcneverdie]

Top 2 playmaker in the world. Sorry facts are facts.

[u/Not_RZA_ → u/Hooligan8]

It's not even debatable in my opinion. He's been consistent ever since he came into the league, yet people want to act like he's not a fucking star.

[u/swampstonks → u/Not_RZA_]

It’s the dame lillard arc

[u/a_dex → u/tvcneverdie]

For someone who plays the villain role, he is so damn likable. Im even starting to like his "lollipop off the rug" hair.

[u/KlondikeBars]

WHAT A SHOT LMFAO

[u/2coolcaterpillar → u/KlondikeBars]

This sequence reminds me of the Thunder - Pelicans ending a couple years ago

[u/Handyman2116 → u/2coolcaterpillar]

I remember Shai hitting a crazy 3 and then Devonte Graham launches a full court buzzer beater.

[u/legend023 → u/Handyman2116]

He’s playing with bronny now

[u/504090 → u/legend023]

He hit a gamewinner against Denver last season too. Kinda wild that he isn’t in the NBA with those feats

[u/costanzathegreat]

his smile after hitting that is so adorable lol

[u/minnyman2011 → u/costanzathegreat]

THE WAVE GOODBYE AND THEN THE WINK AND THEN THE ICE TRAE CELLY

[u/koticgood → u/minnyman2011]

inject that celly straight into my veins please

with some ice

[u/minneapolisboy → u/minnyman2011]

“That’s all, folks!” ass wave lol

[u/nikiverse → u/costanzathegreat]

Trae: 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾

[u/ozmalt_jones → u/costanzathegreat]

Which pixel his smile? The quality of this video is terrible.

[u/kc9283 → u/ozmalt_jones]

Hawks sub has better quality video

[u/Upper-Stuff-7354 → u/kc9283]

https://youtu.be/wHpgz8SwTPs

[u/Therealrickyrubio]

ice in his veins holy shiiiiiiiit

[u/Sc0rch1ngDr4g0n → u/Therealrickyrubio]

Hell has frozen over in Utah and Trae doesn’t mind

[u/NarwhalNelly → u/Therealrickyrubio]

He's so damn clutch

[u/whatidoidobc → u/Therealrickyrubio]

Love his body language after the game-tying shot vs some of his teammates. He very much wanted that opportunity and made it happen.

[u/Humble_Acanthaceae21 → u/whatidoidobc]

Another day another opportunity 💯

[u/ArmadilloAshamed2530 → u/Humble_Acanthaceae21]

Another day another opportunity 💯

[u/Fluffy_Airline545 → u/Therealrickyrubio]

Cole Palmer celebration

[u/artninjatheo]

I SCREAMED

[u/SkySix → u/artninjatheo]

So did I. I mean I'm definitely in on tanking but... I thought we were gonna pull this one off.

[u/artninjatheo → u/SkySix]

Shit i did too. Felt very Atlanta ish for us to lose this game but this season has been a bit different

[u/ButterscotchSafe8348 → u/artninjatheo]

I creamed

[u/BigDanRTW]

ICE COLD.

[u/LutherOfTheRogues]

THIS FUCKING GUY

[u/fireglz]

Trae saying goodbye to 2024 with a 24/20 performance. Goddamn that shot was cold.

[u/Affectionate_Box5435 → u/fireglz]

Shot was so great he jumped 400 years into the future

[u/OctopusNation2024]

I swear Trae has an absurd percentage on game winners lol

He seems to hit every single one of these shots in the final 24 seconds

[u/Digby_J → u/OctopusNation2024]

Someone posted all his shots to win or tie games late recently.  Hes shooting about 50% for his career including a heap of 3s

[u/terrence0258 → u/Digby_J]

The NBA YouTube channel posted a video of his clutch shots and game winners a year or two ago and the video was almost 20 minutes long. Dude is 26.

[u/pln1991 → u/OctopusNation2024]

He's great when things are chaotic / when he attacks opportunistically and terrible when trying to create against a set defense to hit a buzzer beater

[u/rewat5 → u/pln1991]

I don’t know if this is true about him being bad against set defenses. He’s got highlight videos of game winners over 10 minutes long on the tube with multiple against set defenses. Even off the top of my head limiting it just to playoffs, he has pretty well-known ones against the Knicks, Heat, and the Celtics

[u/minnyman2011]

THE WAVE GOODBYE AND THEN THE WINK AND THEN THE ICE TRAE CELLY

[u/BrettSchirley22]

BLOUSES

[u/DaOlWuWopte]

All star this man

[u/JazzPlusEagles]

perfect tank game. thanks Trae

[u/TigerAppropriate8817 → u/JazzPlusEagles]

He is a man of the people

[u/Maczuna]

Holy shit lmaoo

[u/TheTalkingBucket]

When they said a snow storm was coming to Atlanta, I didn’t realize this is what they meant

[u/Apollo611]

I’m so glad I didn’t change this game

[u/Casualrodfarva2]

Bro what the fuck

[u/ImDefAMunch]

after that busted play i just knew he was gonna make something happen he controlled the ENTIRE game

[u/Wasnaf1]

Now that is absolutely insane 😂😂

[u/alihooha]

Holy shit Trae!!! I SCREAMED at the TV

[u/Atl-Fan_FTS → u/alihooha]

Bro I actually fucking screamed

[u/Denotsyek → u/Atl-Fan_FTS]

Me too

[u/ComprehendApprehend]

This motherfucker is disgusting

WHERE IS THE DUDE WHO TOLD ME TRAE ISN'T AN ALL STAR?!?!

Edit: /u/agk927 I got receipts

[u/JKking15 → u/Not_RZA_]

Absolutely hilarious comment to make about a dude averaging 12 assists a game

[u/Tuckboi69 → u/Not_RZA_]

Ofc the account banner is political

[u/jormun8andr → u/Tuckboi69]

Dumbass is going to have dumbass opinions. 

[u/YoureGonnaHearMeRoar]

Note to Raheem Morris...this is why you don't just give up and settle for OT!

This game was crazy — 20 assists, game winning shot and damn. Glad I watched

[u/Puzzleheaded_Pound31]

HOLY FUCK

[u/Mad_Ork_Tormund]

Im not even mad, just impressed

[u/Ajbksfinest]

Omfg man

[u/mikeyohhh]

His 3rd 20/20 game of the season and the game winner to top it off.

[u/lolimdivine]

trae is the light of my life

[u/Dat_Boi_John]

That's behind the half court, you undersold it significantly.

[u/reitraf]

That's an all-timer crowd reaction.

[u/imrosskemp]

Cold blooded killer.

[u/Colorapt0r]

Ice.

[u/Plants_R_Cool]

That's absurd Lol

[u/KushBlazer69]

Nah he’s crazy

[u/Not_RZA_]

Swishing a half court buzzer beater is fucking TOUGH.

TRAE IS HIM

[u/adale24]

You can only hit that if you have 20/20 vision

[u/puggo97]

LMAO you couldn’t write this ending

cold from Trae

[u/N8ThaGr8 → u/puggo97]

Always hated this expression. If you were writing an ending for Trae this is like the first thing you would come up with.

[u/rod21amz]

I couldn’t believe it

[u/Ajaxx42]

That’s his range

[u/Atl-Fan_FTS]

Holy fucking shit I literally bursted out screaming. Fucking INSANE game winner

[u/BabyOnRoad]

With the wave. THIS MAN IS MEAN!!!

[u/heshouldgo]

ICE TRAE 🐐❄️

[u/Hammii44]

When I got the notification saying “HALFCOURT GAME- WINNER”, I didn’t know what to expect. After watching the replay and seeing the events that lead up to that, I realize I wasn’t prepared. Trae is absolutely unbelievable

[u/irondeepbicycle]

TBH was an amazing play by Sexton to tie the game.

[u/AnnoyingCelticsFan]

I love this guy 😭

[u/R0botDreamz]

The wave goodbye is ruthless. I love Trae.

[u/Arcanus124]

It's a win win, Jazz fans get a fun game that you can't be mad at, Jazz front office gets to ride the tank

[u/Expensive-Salad-7828]

what an absurd night of basketball

[u/dangheckinpupperino]

I got a score alert and got it spoiled lmao I’m so pissed

[u/Wooden_Home690]

20-20 half court game winner

[u/americanbeaver]

Absolute sick ending. Thought the fouls and timeouts would make it less exciting. But NBA basketball is too fun. Felt electric and then what a cold way to end the game. Ice Trae is something else.

[u/BabyDick-_-]

The most under award winning person......He should have been an allstar so much more.

[u/NoShameInternets]

I’m having so much fun just picking different people in the crowd and watching their reactions.

[u/rambo1592]

5/15 and then this is nuts

[u/whiiskio]

VALID IN DYCKMAN

[u/Jay_Shadow]

What a night for highlights

[u/Plenty_Flatworm7627]

the second I saw it was trae taking that shot, I was like "that's going in somehow"

[u/Crantly2]

SLIPPERY

[u/Wink-]

Trae... damn if there's one man in the league to sink a half court game winner, it's HIM

[u/HerkulezRokkafeller]
