Being a prominent figure in the NBA comes with its fair share of scrutiny and labels.

He also shares his perspectives on the successes, challenges, and lessons he’s learned throughout the years.

Let’s dive deep into his perspective about the whole “Coach Killer” fuss.

Trae Young on being the “Coach Killer”

Addressing the infamous label, Trae Young expresses his disdain for the term. On the latest episode of his show, he says he finds the term lame and baseless. Contrary to popular belief, he clarifies that he didn’t have the privilege of an extensive roster like other players.

Upon entering the league, Young’s initial coach was Lloyd Pierce. With Lloyd, Trae shares a good relationship. However, their vision didn’t align entirely because of the team’s driving focus was opposite to Young’s desire to win.

He says, “I think the reason me and Lloyd really couldn’t see eye to eye on certain things was because he wants to win just as bad as I did right. But the team we had wasn’t wasn’t built to win at that time“.

Additionally, Young holds admiration for Pierce as a developmental coach. He recognizes this despite their differences in opinions.

Later, Nate McMillan took over as head coach. After all, he led the Hawks to the Conference Finals.

Young also highlights the positive impact of having veteran players like Danilo Gallinari and Lou Williams on the team.
