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

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.
