  • I want to get to the other side of the matchup because Jackie, you've been working on a piece on Trae Young, just his confidence being on full display on the court.

  • Do you think that swagger is going to translate into more winds?

  • How did you go end up there?

  • I really do think it is Rachel, because everybody I spoke to for this story and I spoke to quite a few people all the way through from kids that he grew up with people through college that were with him, and they all said the same thing.

  • It's all about winning with Trey Young.

  • He just wants to win, and I think what he realizes now.

  • He's always had that chip on his shoulder.

  • I know you've talked him about it before.

  • This idea that he's too small, that he can't do it, that he's got to prove it to everybody.

  • Well, he has now.

  • He's an All star.

  • He's among the leaders and League league leaders in points and assists.

  • So everybody knows.

  • Yes, you belong, So the next step for him now is bring your team to the playoffs.

  • So how do you do that?

  • Well, First of all, you gotta play defense with the same passion that you attack the rim and attack the offensive end of the floor.

  • But the other thing, too, is when you draw a crowd and he always will because of how he shoots you, dish it off, let someone else maybe take one of those game winning shots.

  • And I think you're seeing it.

  • Rhonda has been a great mentor from him.

  • Great, great mentor, and they're talking a lot about Pick and roll with Clint Capela.

  • Pick and roll with John Collins getting other guys involved in Rondo is really excited about the possibilities for trade.

  • Young going forward.

  • Uh, look, when you think of trade, when I think of Trae Young, I think of Steph Curry.

  • Steph Curry had the swag coming in.

  • He had to shimmy, showed the shake or whatever you wanna call it.

  • Why can't Trae Young Trae Young has been doubted all his life because of his size.

  • And look, there's only a few guys in the league that get trapped in the first half of a game soon as he gets soon as he crossed half court and Trey Young is one of them.

  • He is a generational talent.

  • He's a Level four score in the in today's game, and I do think his swagger is everything, not only for himself in his game, but it also gives Swagger toe the team and the organization.

  • It is fun to watch.

  • There's no question he doesn't get here without it.

  • Doesn't get here without that.

  • Swagger doesn't get to the MBA without it.

  • No question.

  • I totally agree is part of his game, and I do think it's infectious.

  • You could just see it around the team.
