“#Trae Young\u2019s villain origin story continues with shoulder shimmy<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Trae Young really has this villain thing nailed down.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old Hawks star provided one of the most disrespectful moments of the NBA playoffs Wednesday night when, after being left alone for a wide-open three, he provided a brief shoulder shimmy before taking the shot.<\/p>\n

The shot went in \u2013 and quickly went viral.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a lot of time,\u201d Young said, smiling, after the game<\/a>. \u201cI had a lot of time, and I was kind of tired, so I got a little second to get a deep breath and knock it down.\u201d<\/p>\n

His superstar opponent on the other side was less than thrilled by it. During the next time out, Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was seen on camera chiding his teammates over the shimmy and mimicking it. Milwaukee would then rally to take the lead \u2013 but the Hawks ended up pulling out a 116-113 victory.<\/p>\n

Young scored 48 points in the game, and became the first player in NBA history to log 45+ points and 10+ assists in a playoff game.<\/p>\n

After the game, the shimmy heard \u2019round the world was a popular topic of conversation<\/a> among Young\u2019s Hawks teammates.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like wow, he\u2019s going to make that, too?\u201d Clint Capela said. \u201cWhen it splashed, I was like, oh wow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not doing that in the conference finals,\u201d Kevin Huerter said. \u201cThat might be the second game of the year next year. That\u2019s not me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Young did well to establish himself as a villain in the Hawks\u2019 first round series<\/a> against the Knicks, when \u201cF\u2013k Trae Young\u201d chants broke out at Madison Square Garden. As his origin story continues, it\u2019s hard to imagine the fans at Fiserv Forum will be any less hostile.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
