The former league veteran player Quentin Richardson has recently questioned why the two-time NBA All-Star, Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young is losing interest with the supporters in the league. On the “OG’s” podcast, Q-Rich appeared to be honestly baffled that Young is one of the players who has impressive statistics to solidify his platform.
QRich doesn’t understand why NBA fans disrespect Trae Young

According to Fadeaway World, Richardson shared, “I feel like Trae Young get disrespected. Why Y’all think they don’t f*ck with Trae Young no more? He’s second in the league in assists. He’s got good statistics but I feel like they don’t f*ck with him no more…”
There are plenty of names that come to the fore when one thinks of the best point guards in the league currently and Richardson believes that Young should be considered when counting the best in the league.
Young is currently averaging 27 points, 10.8 assists, and 1.4 steals. While considering his stats, he is unquestionably an impressive player. However, considering his history, there are areas where the player can improve. One of the major areas affected is his influence on winning games as well.
The Atlanta Hawks are currently standing tenth in the Eastern Conference and in the season they are 19-27. They recently defeated the Toronto Raptors by a concluding score of 126-125. However, the Hawks’ squad will be able to need more offensive production from their All-Star if they want to advance in the season.
Yall are only looking at his stats 💀 theres a reason why the media doesn’t rock with trae bro

Fans still mess with him, he was 2nd in the All-Star fan vote. Should be asking why the coaches, players and media disrespect him completely.
