Reaction was fast and furious on social media Thursday as Hawks star Trae Young, who leads the NBA in assists, was not selected as a reserve for the 2025 NBA All-Star game:
& it’s no longer getting “snubbed” it’s getting “Traed” at this point😂

Sorry to my fans.. it’ll change eventually!
All right, talk soon!

Trae Young leads the NBA in:
— Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) January 31, 2025
Assists per game (11.4)
Point/Assist double-doubles (27)
Trae Young leads the East in:
30-point, 10-assist games (7)
20-point, 10-assist games (19)
Not a bad pick on the roster, but boy does this (continue to) highlight that people do not rock with Trae like they should. https://t.co/kRlHUnbypd

Tough for Sabonis and Trae Young but there’s always going to be snubs

Glad that they did the right thing with JJJ/Herro/Siakam though https://t.co/DIvAgfmlPq
Trae Young and Sabonis not All-Stars? Interesting

Trae Young continues to be the most disrespected player in the league.

Once again, the fans, who had him fifth in their vote among East guards, should feel disrespected as their vote is disregarded.
They do Trae Young wrong every year. He should’ve been an All-Star EVERY season since his sophomore year

Trae Young this season:
