Trae Young Trolls Knicks Fans by Reminding Them He Was Spit On

Trae Young did what very few have done at Madison Square Garden. Not only did he brush off a fan who spit at him, but he buried the Knicks beating them in four of five games to advance to the next round in the NBA Playoffs. After taking a bow on Wednesday in the Game 5 clincher, he also appeared to address the spitting incident from Game 2. The Athletic’s Mike Vorkunov believes Young said: “Are you gonna spit on me next?”

Watch Below:

Trae Young hasn't forgotten about someone trying to spit on him at MSG in Game 2. He mimics spitting while talking to some Knicks fan on celebrity row. Seems to say "Are you gonna spit on me next?" Then he smiles. pic.twitter.com/Gihge9VHZ1
