Trae Young completely showed out against Milwaukee Bucks in his first Conference Finals game ever.
He had a huge game with 48 points, 11 assists and 7 rebounds, but it wasn’t just the gaudy numbers. It was how he was getting them that really made the game special.
He pulled out all the stops from extremely deep 3-pointers to killer crossovers to even lob passes off the backboard. Trae was just deep in his bag against the Bucks. It was like he wasn’t even playing in a Conference Finals game.
But one play just had everyone’s jaw on the floor. It was the shimmy he hit before draining this 3-pointer on Jrue Holiday.
TRAE YOUNG IS SO DISRESPECTFUL 💀

Bucks fans were mad. Big mad. So was Giannis Antetokounmpo who had a word with his teammates in the huddle about the shimmy afterward.

Young was asked about the shimmy after the game and why he did it. His response was perfect.
