The older we get, the more we understand the sacrifices our parents made—and the lessons hidden inside the toughness. For Trae Young, his father’s expectations weren’t always easy to embrace. The relationship was complicated, the standards were high, and the accountability was constant. But looking back, Trae now sees the purpose behind it all. As a father himself, he’s carrying those same values forward—teaching discipline, setting boundaries, and understanding that real love isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes the lessons that shape us most are the ones we appreciate years later. @ThePivot #ThePivot #TraeYoung #Parenting #FatherHood #NBA

Trae Young got emotional talking about his 16-year-old brother Timothy. "He never asked for these expectations. I worked my ass off to set the bar high, not only for him, but for a lot of kids. But he's my brother, so he's looked at differently." youtu.be/BQhLsQCzxtU

Knicks you are absolutely amazing!!

“As much as NY says F* You Trae after the game, that’s fine…I wish they played us on Christmas because I would love to spoil their Christmas every year.” The 4x NBA All Star @TheTraeYoung has embraced being the @TheGarden villain but despite @nyknicks fans hating on Ice Trae, he roots for the underdogs and gives unique insight into the NBA finals between NY and @spurs and breaks down the sides… Full conversation streaming on all audio platforms and @youtube #basketball #nba #podcast @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder

“What I know now… I would’ve played through my sprained ankle”- @traeyoung on 20-21 ECF Trae Young’s 2021 playoff run felt like the beginning of something special. The Hawks were on the rise, Trae was becoming a superstar, and Atlanta looked built to contend for years. It didn’t play out that way. Now in Washington, Trae looks back on that Eastern Conference Finals run with one regret. After spraining his ankle, he missed time in a series altered by injuries on both sides. Knowing what he knows now, he says he would’ve triple-taped that ankle and found a way to be on the floor. @thepivot on @youtube & streaming platforms. #ThePivot #TraeYoung #NBA #EasternConferencePlayoffs youtu.be/BQhLsQCzxtU

“I just wanted to leave a certain way…not like they just shipped me to Washington.” @TheTraeYoung Trae Young breaks his silence on his move from @ATLHawks to @WashWizards -What transpired and how it all went down…he reveals which of his trades was more surprising and why— Draft night or the most recent…🏀 youtu.be/BQhLsQCzxtU Basketball is a business, full episode out now on all audio platforms and @youtube #nba #basketball #trade #podcast @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder

“Half the arena was saying F*ck you, & the other side would say Trae Young”- @TheTraeYoung Victor Wembanyama called Trae Young New York’s biggest villain, but Madison Square Garden wasn’t the first place Trae heard those chants. Trae was born in Lubbock, where his father Rayford starred at Texas Tech, & the Red Raider faithful gave Trae an early lesson in what it felt like to have a crowd against him. At the time, those chants affected him and his play. But adversity has a way of preparing you for what’s next. So, when the Madison Square Garden crowd turned on him, Trae was ready—and the pressure that once bothered him became part of what made him one of basketball’s greatest villains. @ThePivot on @youtube & streaming platforms. #ThePivot #TraeYoung #NYknicks #NBA youtu.be/BQhLsQCzxtU

“This is the most slept on I’ve been in my whole life” @TraeYoung has never been the biggest or the strongest. What he’s always been is underestimated. Every stop along the way, he’s answered doubt with production. Now the questions are louder than they’ve ever been, and the only response he cares about is his play. He’s embracing the challenge of changing things in Washington. And if he succeeds? What will they say then? @Thepivot on @youtube & streaming #ThePivot #TraeYoung #WashingtonWizards #NBA #SleptOn youtu.be/BQhLsQCzxtU

“Regardless of what people think of me, I know who I am and let my play talk for me.” @TheTraeYoung We sit down with 4x NBA All Star, one of basketball’s most talked-about and misunderstood stars for a conversation that goes far beyond the headlines. From Oklahoma roots and the pressures of being a basketball prodigy, to draft night and the trade that fueled his competitive fire, Trae Young breaks his silence. He reflects on coming up the NBA ranks, being slept on, insight into @jalenbrunson1 & @swipathefox embracing the villain role, turning Madison Square Garden’s hostility into motivation and reveals the heartbreak surrounding Atlanta’s run to the Eastern Conference Finals. Trae also sets the record straight on his departure from the Hawks, shares how his move to Washington came together, and explains why this next chapter means so much to him. Most importantly, he reveals the man behind the player—speaking candidly about family, brotherhood, criticism, resilience, and the truth behind some of the biggest narratives surrounding his career. youtu.be/BQhLsQCzxtU Raw.

“I love Jalen. I tell his dad, I don’t know what you did but you did an outstanding job of getting him to be great. Because he is great.” Patrick Ewing From one NY legend to the present…Patrick Ewing knows the heartbeat of the @nyknicks pumps with each diehard fan but the tone is set with leadership from @jalenbrunson1 🏀 Game 3, madness at the Garden tonight!

“That right there told me, they can beat anybody” #mondaymotivation John Starks may bleed blue and orange but his vision was crystal clear when he shared what he told @jalenbrunson1 and became even more certain when he watched the @nyknicks play @spurs back in the season, and saying- with that type of team chemistry and leadership- they can beat anyone. Game 3 back in NY🗽#nba #ny #knicks #spurs @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder

“Odell Beckham Jr. is a living legend.” @obj is back in New York, and I’m excited for him. When he sat with us on The Pivot last winter, he made it clear this was the opportunity he wanted. Few players have ever changed what it means to be a football superstar the way Odell did. He may not be the same player he once was, but that doesn’t mean he’s done. The right to decide when enough is enough belongs to him and him alone. There’s still more story to write, and if this is how he wants to finish the journey, he’s earned the chance to do it on his terms. @thepivot on @youtube & streaming platforms. #ThePivot #OBJ #NYGiants #NFL youtu.be/CoB6iYWym58

“I want my Thank you!” I know it may sound irrational, but rude people get on my nerves. If I hold the door, say thank you. If I let you off the plane before me—even though you’re three rows behind me—say thank you. If I move out of your way and say, “Excuse me,” return the favor. And BOY, if I say, “God bless you” after a sneeze, don’t leave me hanging… say THANK YOU! Maybe my expectations are too high, but @OfficialCrowder agrees! Maybe we’re living in a different era. But until somebody convinces me otherwise, I want my thank yous! That’s #ThePivot I need from y’all! @ThePivot on @youtube & streaming platforms. #ThePivot #ThankYou #RudePeople #Manners youtu.be/CoB6iYWym58

“This series will define two separate players legacy…” Freddy T gives his wild pick, Chan stays firm on his side and RC breaks it all down setting up one of the most anticipated championship series 🏀 Game 2 tonight, whats at stake for @nyknicks @spurs and what it all means for @jalenbrunson1 and @wemby 👀 youtu.be/CoB6iYWym58 Who you got winning it all? ⬇️ #nba #spurs #knicks @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder

“1 of them seemed like Ghost with Tasha, & the other like Jamie St. Patrick with Angie” The AJ Brown trade closes the book on Philadelphia, but it turns up the heat on everyone involved. AJ looked relieved, energized, and fully invested talking about Drake Maye in New England—a stark contrast to the final chapters of his Eagles tenure. Now the questions begin. Can Jalen Hurts thrive with a new WR1 and another offensive coordinator? Can AJ deliver All-Pro production and the happiness he seemed to be searching for? The trade is done, but spotlight intensifies. @ThePivot on @youtube & streaming platforms. #ThePivot #AJbrown #JalenHurts #FlyEaglesFly #ThePatriotway youtu.be/CoB6iYWym58
