Is Trae Young becoming the NBA's next biggest villain?

You have to feel for the Cavs' fans at that moment. Simply reaching the play-in finals was quite a surprise for a side that wasn't expected to perform so well this season.

So for Young to take his chance and rub salt in the wounds of an upset fanbase, it's hard to not see it as slightly disrespectful.

But when you come in and drop nearly 40 points to get your team into the playoffs, that gives you every right to show a little bit of disrespect, especially when the narratives around you are that you don't play the game of basketball the right way.

This is not the first time Young has ruffled the feathers of opposing fanbases. The New York Knicks fan base absolutely loathes the 23-year-old sensation, with a 'f*** Trae Young' chant breaking out at Yankee Stadium not too long ago.

It's one thing to hear your name with such vulgarity when you're playing in front of that crowd, but to hear your name being chanted like that at a completely different sporting venue must be music to Young's ears. He knows he's living comfortably in the minds of plenty of fans.

If you're going to be chanting such things, keep that same energy when he either enters free agency or wants out of his current situation, especially if you're a big market team. That's all there is to it.

LET. EM. KNOW.
