Trae Young really exceeded my expectations, like dude is killing it.
😂😂😂 why would he care about yo expectation
king lil D he’s saying that young is playing better than he thought he would
But he's actually 'carrying' the ball on almost every play. His hand literally goes directly beneath the ball while the ball hangs unnaturally in the air. 1:45 on this play he does it 3 times in a row. I realize some players like IT do this ... but his is more exaggerated than most.
Dennis Smith AND Luka AND Porzingas all >>>> Trae Young > the 40% of High School players who can't dunk. He tries (on offense) though.
Atlanta Hawks building a good young core and will be a PROBLEM in the Eastern Conference within 3 years. Trae's a good teammate.
Peace and blessings
Demon Slayer that fire!!
trae young's game is so smooth and effortless
I don't think it's really that smooth especially when compared to othwr players but yeah agree with u on the effortless part
@@______fc76000___ are you hating or just don't know what smooth is? Or don't watch him enough?
He smooth af wit it G
@@andrebailey4169 not hating, trae young is a phenomenal player. Besides, it's my opinion.
@@andrebailey4169 smooth is pg,and dload. Trae young ain't smooth but shifty and more quick with it. He's like a savvy scorer.
Trae Young’s shifftyness is insane plus his shot crazy. Dennis Smith’s bounce is just next level like he could probably do a 360 between the legs just off vert
I'm the CHIEF stfu you know what he meant
@@Letthat Autocorrect is dumb or I don't know how to spell. Probably the second one
What else is he supposed to make the 360 between the leg off of?
Carrying his team... Carrying (palming violations)... See what I did there 👀
Wow his bounce
You will never realize how good these nba players are until you see them play against regular dudes
No you should know that fundementals are what separate alots of pros from others minimum amount of dribble to create space or contact to create that shot opportunity there footwork are insane especially if there one of those elite elite players then there in a another world when it comes to technique Especially nowadays with the technology we have and the coaches that available look at especially the kids in 10-15 yrs from now in highschool the footwork and handles are gonna be at a level where today we would call them good to elite
You suck I’ll make you look like that.
@@youngzoe7492 basketball iq and athleticism is the key difference in my eyes
Young zoe not true. The fundamentals are a big part but pro ballers are usually in world class condition to amplify the fundamentals.
Or you play or played competitive basketball.
What are the other guys running up and down the court for? Cardio?
Funny as shit bro
@Sined Dokgnam, you took the word right out of my mouth. It must be very frustrating for them.
@@velibrown7904 i know right. a good cardio work out at least...;-)
@@dyamondwhetstone3076 you feel me
Its a scrimmage for them to tune their skills against full teams
Whoever recording is having the time of his life
bro said “woaahhh”
He need to STFU
😂😂😂
@@RobOn85South He enjoys watching the game. It really shows he enjoys his job and I love that.
MILLENNIALHDTV nah you need to stop crying 😢
Traes nutmeg is actually a consistent, working move
it ain't cp3 level yet though
CPGoat #3 bro he gon be better than cp3 and I love cp3
@@ChaposShoota are u high or what? Call me when he can defend someone.
CPGoat #3 why would he call u
@@ChaposShoota yes he has lol
Son, dennis smith not even full speed has crazy bounce.... 1:00
the _Inevitabl “Jesus“🧔
play it in slo mo, dont even look real
Thats the only dunk I can do if I run I always miss (╯︵╰,)
Yep and he's working on the rest of his game, improving steadily...scary
the _Inevitabl I replayed that 3 times trying to figure out where he got momentum from but he just elevated without any
DSJ seems like one of those dudes that only calls a foul when he's about to lose lol
I noticed the same thing
Isn’t that good tho? I start calling them when the score gets close because that’s when it really counts. You guys don’t know nothing
Reversed Soundtracks yup calling a foul when there was barely a foul if there even was one when you're about to lose a game lol. We do know something, it's called being a sore loser 😂
ckm ckm no dumbass. It’s called being competitive. Why would you want to loose? If you do then your a straight low life
Reversed Soundtracks lol what? Calling an imaginary foul is competitive? Lemme guess you're probably that kind of player in court and feel "competitive" lol. Nobody wants to lose but getting a win the lamest way possible must be the definition of "high life" for you huh? 😂
Whoever got the aux need to be kicked out without their phone.
Literally... like this is a basketball game play some tunes to hoop too this ain’t a baseball game
@@trendingvideos6599 lmfao deadass 🤦♂️
@@trendingvideos6599 relax
Skye Walker don’t know how
Bruhhhhhh
It’s Westbrook and Curry. The age difference is almost identical as well.
Na dennis smith is even a better decision maker and shooter than wb
Jason Gill bet his career won’t equal up
@@jasongill9432 better Shooter? No. Better Decision maker? Debatable.
Lance Cropper DSJ compared to Rose
Jason Gill shooter- yes
Decision making- no
This what I like to see. Past couple years I actually been more excited to see basketball than football.
Thomas Smith facts. I’ve never been more excited for a season than I am this basketball season.
2 straight years for me. And my NFL team is good.
The players and personalities are so much more entertaining than the NFL.
Its funny how in open runs and pickup games, everyone becomes an elite shooter lol
It's because of the editing. They don't show all the shots they miss.
It's NBA players. They need pressure and intensity of a League game to shoot bricks. Pros are UNBELIEVABLY skilled.
Yeah in the nba they guarded by 6’8’ freaks and have to shoot 4 feet further back. Duh
@@KeananOien They were pulling from near half court here. That's easily an NBA 3. Also, that's why I said "it's funny" not "why can't they do it in the NBA"... Because I realize it's not the same setting
Aggressive defense. All pros can actually shoot. We played against Shawn Kemp and his girlfriend during pickups. It was amazing to see Kemp hit almost every jumper he took.But at 6’10. Nobody could put there arms in his way. Just shot over the top of us. From everywhere on the court
Trae can literally shoot from anywhere + his handle is elite + he has an elite floater + his vision is off the charts. Wow
his control of the ball while in the air broo
I wish Dennis smith could play like this during actual games
He does it’s just that he barely gets a chance to even get meaningful minutes which then causes him to be inconsistent,I would rather dsj get 29 minutes of Pt and put up 20 points on bad shooting splits then him putting up 6 points as a bench player on decent to good shooting splits🤷♂️
@@blackguy1236 you rather him play bad with more shots.Then him play his role well?
@@blackguy1236 as a Mavericks fan I can honestly say he does not play like that in game
He can’t
@@blackguy1236 no he doesn’t! He was nice at nc state and had “moments” in the league but no Dennis is a pickup player. Nothing wrong with that! He’ll never understand what it takes to win! It’s not about Points man. I promise you
1:05 Dennis got that type of standing vert 😳😳😳
Akin Taylor he walked into it that’s not standing vert
BUNNIEEEEES!
I'm saying.
Rip black hoodie
It ain't that high though..
Nobody:
The Camera Man: Ooooohoohoohooo
💀
9:32 😭😭
Fr dude gets annoying
9:50😂😂
Fr
3:13 why dennis layup look like a 2k animation😂
Cause 2k based off real life lmao
Brandon Padaoan ik it just looked funny 😂
Trae naturally carries the damn ball everytime he just casually dribbling, lol
Nohis hand would have to be going from under the ball crossing or on the imaginary 180° point he's close tho and once or twice he actually does but never time no.
Justin Abelman
Carrying violation is dead in this day of age , get with the time gramps
Carrying is dead no one wants to watch a NBA game where the refs call carry
Yep, so much carrying lmao. Like wtf 🤣🤣
Mostly EVERYONE carries,its hard to do effective crossovers without it
they haven't changed the playlist at that court since 2013
Facts 💀💀💀💀💀
Power vs Finesse
Facts!!
Finesse all day
which one of them's finesse...bc dsj has some insane finesse too
@@apugc - Trae Y all day..... Soft buckets no touches too!
apugc Dsj bigger than tray. So tray had finesse and dsj has power
Nice! Smith"s jumper is improving. Young is unstoppable!
Dwight Partlow why did I read this in a white voice
Y'all need to slow down when you type these titles, it's a typo in like every video 😭
Jason. They be hype 😂😂
Where everything in the title is spelled correctly
@@Agent_Apostle groud
@@Agent_Apostle "Playgroud"
Samuel Andrades oh shit I ain’t see that 😂
It’s crazy to see in just 2 years how differently these two careers have gone trae a superstar who led his team the ECF and Dennis can’t even get a job as a backup rn CRAZY!
The mavs gave up on him to soon…
Gave him up for someone who wouldn’t even contribute to playoff success
@rohan why you just lie for no reason lol? they played him off the ball a lot for dunks and lobs. Most his points he scored of fastbreak dunks and shit. he took like 4-5 jumpers per game.
@@the333er5 he didn’t watch dsj he’s just box score watching don’t pay him no mind
cause Dennis wasn't willing to go along with the rituals
Bottom line, Trae Young is crazy skilled and DSJ is crazy explosive.
I like how when Trae plays pick up he not looking to pass at all like. He’ll go 1 vs 5 and still score 😂
MXP bad iq but sometimes it works and looks good
Eldrick you’re not telling me Trae Young has bad IQ???
MXP well he can obviously
Eldrick he gets a ton of assists it's not iq. He's just working on the scoring aspect of his game most likely
Your only seeing some of the game genius
Remember when everyone criticized Trae lol . Never doubt yourself kids even if the world does
Brandon LURENZO This is practice, we talking bout practice man!
@@hectorcarr3050 I think he's also talking about him being the ROY runner up. After the all-star break he was arguably the best rookie in the game.
@@hectorcarr3050 umm..Pretty sure he broke some records along with being #2 in assists in the NBA. Pick up ball or not..He's a baller.
Brandon S. bruh he nice but he ain’t the best rookie. Man has 2/100 votes LOL
Trae averaged 25/9 for the last 3 months of the season he clearly was the best rookie from feb-april
They all fouling Trae grabbing him and hand checking and shit Trae ain't call one foul Dennis Smith calling all weak shit on the other end 😆😆 team Trae all Day
Lol right
someone had to say it
DSJ frustrated lol
It’s alright you can tell Trae has the better NBA game by far. DSJ can dunk and look cool all he wants, won’t make him a more complete player.
Factsss
1:42 What kind of wizardry did i just witness
Wtf
It’s the spin or the curve that he puts on the ball when he finger rolls it
@@trulyjj7528 Damn Sherlock stop blowing my mind I can't handle it what's next are you going to tell me the ocean is full of water
@@tingispingis 😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂✊✊✊
It's called extra jelly.
4:25 lmao westbrook?!?!
Yelo De Kuga ?
Yelo De Kuga oh wait nvm, the walk he did was like westbrook’s , i get what you’re saying lol
😂 😂 Haha yeah
Fam that dunk @ 1:00 by Smith is insanely crazy,he wasn’t even going full speed,his momentum was slowed after the tip and he still got damn near over the rim. Imagine him full speed full momentum and adrenaline going crazy,he gotta be one of the most explosive leapers ever at his size
She going at full speed he might be able to do a free throw line dunk 🤦🏽♂️
Dsj a little older to tho
I herd since his injury a few years ago he actually added to his vert smh that's crazy
I like DSJ’s competitiveness. Looks like he’s cocky or mad but he’s just goes hard all game. We need more of that in this game
first clip is a craaaaazy sequence
Real competitive on the court, funny and friendly off it. That's the way it should be❤
Amazing video this is pure gold
1:40 That layup is nothing but Jelly
People were hating on Trae early but he might be the next 20 and 10 point guard 💯💪
Facts like steph
He almost is. He averaged 16 & 8 in his rookie year.
Jarmel Bennett He might be?
Right.. niggas said I was dumb for saying Trae should go #1 in 2018 draft, imagine Phoenix with Trae Young or Luka Doncic?? Phoenix the dumb ones lol..
@@fabolousninenine30 it was 19 & 8. I think you put 16 accidentally.
This is the first open run I've seen where NBA stars are actually guarding each other...good to see! You don't get better posing in an exhibition game
Trae young’s game is so smooth and he play the game at his own pace I love it👍🏿
You got to give it to both Trae and Dennis. Both are nice and they both going to be a force to reckon with when the season starts.
Man I feel bad for the other guys on the court😂😂
trillliann why cuz they get the chance to hoop w dope nba players
Tony nah it’s an Open Run, you go to try and prove yourself or get noticed but it becomes the Trae Young Dennis Smith show😂 dudes were just running back and forth on the court watching it all go down
trillliann haha ik i’m jk
trillliann they probably was scoring but it got edited out of video.shit tbh I edited them out too lol
Its Okay its only practice for NBA bro
“Game I didn’t call foul”
The look on Trae Youngs face is priceless 😂
I would be mad asf too like what bro 😂
I thought devin said no double in pick up
Devin don’t like hard work. Simple
Mekhi G if making it into the league and scoring 70 isn’t “hard work” idk what is😂
@@mekhig.9350 If he didn't work hard he wouldn't be in the league 🤦🏽♂️
That's the thing ya don't see the bigger picture. He don't work hard that's wht he only scored 70. Imagined if he did. Maybe 100. Shhh
Elitefrm 3 key word doesn’t like! Which he doesn’t
Trae carries all the time every time.i can’t unsee it. It’s so obvious
I know man. The nba is so ruined
Though I thought Just I saw it
Yuppp me too
I thought it was just me 🤫
@Broken Glass yes
10:40 bro said I have a point to prove
Man this best open run I’ve seen all off season when it comes to two ballers going at each other
Andy G bra I was just thinking this on gawdd
(3:00 - 3:08)Trae has actually made this into a move. He mishandles his dribble; the defender closes in thinking he can rip him and then he nutmegs him for an easy layup. I've seen him do this at least a couple of times this summer.
Well, from my perspective it’s not. This is a real mishandle. The ball his hit feet, if it was a mishandle move he wouldn’t want the ball to hit his feet. It’s too risky of turnover
@@lekultaipei I'm not saying his original intent was to mishandle the ball... i'm saying he turns his lemons into lemonade!
yeah I see you
9:56 took dude on a road trip
EzMarz insane but shot was a travel
@@jadzino8339 yeah it was right as he went for the layup
Two legends in the making🔥🙌🏾
1.5
Is it just me or did some of the video repeat
Bruh I thought I was trippin
Yeah it did bro...smh
Nah it did
Just you
Really wish we could’ve held on to DSJr in Dallas. He’s really evolving into a solid player.
bruh this is a pickup game and nobody is playing real defense any pro player would look good here
DSJ's hitch has faded... league might be in danger when he pulls up now
He was never terrible just needed some more practice
He’s a baller, but he plays for the knicks
Cody Townsend idk man I expect him and randle to really step up, and if they do in 2 years they could be a really good duo
@@sosaoneusbeisbejs8385 i totally agree, i think smith is just starting to get there..
Nemzy the Knicks will forever be trash as long as Dolan owns the team
Crazy skills. Both can have some good careers if they keep it up.
Trae’s change of pace is fucking insane. On that note I can see he’s practicing his passing during these games since he’ll be passing a whole lot to the scrubs on the hawks
1:46 its crazy how much trae carries the ball.
Dead rule
His hand doesn’t go underneath the ball
That's not a carry
@@trentonpearson196 it definitely is. Right before he changes direction he puts his hand underneeth the ball to gain a fraction of a second in case he wants to change his mind. This is a common practice amongst many ankle breakers, but it's carry. But.. just like MobileManiac said....carry and travel they're both pretty much dead in the NBA.
Do you remember the last time a carry was called? How about a travel?
If you see the European leagues, you will see 2-3 of those calls per match. For doing the same thing Tray is doing here.
The rules are the same... it's just that the NBA refs wont call it.
Angeline Aries
Of course it is you stupid bitch. His hand goes underneath the ball. 100% carry.
Trae mad about that double team lol so he went after Dennis smith’s dunk attempt 😂😂
This man Trae carried like 3 straight times at 1:47 😂😂
True that. You can't put your hand underneath the ball then continue dribbling
They always get away with that shit Harden too and Westbrook
@@greathokage5533 KD got that move too, where he cradles it on the hesi/crossover
George Sanchez thank you 😂
Who the fuck you been watching ? Not one person in the league has a clean crossover they all carry that shit. They all cheat here and there and it’s pretty sickening to me since I love defense and there is not much u can do when a ball handler starts hesi and carrying with a quick 1st step you literally have to foul him to stop his progress because the carry is so efficiently effective when done as a combo.
🔥🔥🔥
Good high level basketball. Love it keep the fire ass vids bro god bless homie
That was fun to watch. They obviously cant guard each other.
I love how they was Imitating each other’s move
😹😹😹💀Bruh Trae Young doing Dennis hesi is hilarious
they were doing Steph impressions lmao
10:17 focc that vert! too blessed!
8:04 crazy crossover 🤣
Man I'm a big fan of Trae. He was so doubted coming to his rookie year, but has found ways to become better despite his obvious physical limitations
Trae Young is special ! I said it his sophomore year in HS & Shoutouts To Dennis man people sleep on this dude he more then a dunker he really got game 💯✊🏿
DSJ really out here calling fouls on game point
Tf type of defense was that at 7:00 💀
Julio and Trae Young really the best things in Atlanta right now
DGotTheJuice Forgetting about Josef Martinez and Ronald Acuña
Joséf Martínez! Let's not forget
Playboi carti?
Atlanta is on fire sports wise ... went to a party at the W last month Trae, John Collins, and a corner from Falcons was there all talking big money sh!t ... ps John Collins was after my girl but she came running to ur boy after getting picture with all three for me ... (I didn’t want to look lame asking for a pic with them but ya I’m a huge fan of Hawks) lol
Y’all forgetting they got cam reddish 🔥
Dennis Smith is cold just in a bad situation needs a team that sees what the world already knows.
can we just appreciate the camera quality?
so gooood
They would have killed to see this type of quality back in the day! Let alone a video of their fav player!
The end of the video was hilarious 😂
8:02 hesi stepback pump fake. Dsj got too many moves 👍
Really? the entire time I was thinking Trae's handles are smoother, tighter, and more advanced. DSJ did basic adhoc stuff that I would do. Trae's moves looked like a practiced package. His impression of DSJ says it all. If your moves are tight with purpose u wont need to over dribble. DSJ has more bounce and cleaner dunks for sure though.
You missed to say betweeb the legs
sssshheeeEEEEEEEsshh
10:39 that was insane !
Trae’s nutmeg is his signature.
Trae Young gonna be a Major Factor for my Hawks 😳🔥💯💯
Let's go Dennis Smith Jr. They sleeping on you and the #Knicks!
You cant sleep on a dead franchise
@@xredgreenbluex Whats Dead Can Never Die Knicks playoff bound 4th in the east book it.
Stop hating on our team we on the upside people hate to admit lol
Taj Gibson and Bobby Portis is all it takes to fool knicks fans i guess

This is Trae’s allstar year. Already claim it. Man is already the next best shooter/
Playmaker. Give em the next 3 years to win a ring💯
Freedom with the hawks? You trippen
Crown Town you’re forgetting bro. They have 2 first round picks out of the top 10 that were drafted who both have already been compared to nba legends. Trae and Collins already have allstar potential. Give it some time.
Freedom they have a great foundation but the east is pretty stacked now so it definitely won’t be easy
@@crownfamilybullys5742 ya dats true
9:47 that’s how i want my peanutbutter jelly every morning
So we're not gonna talk about the dunk at 10:40 dude after dennis smith 🤢🤢😨
angel rodriguez my brudda 🤞🏼✊🏼
That’s his brother
2:11 when you're constipated
God I want Dennis to be successful in the league. My boy been NBA bound since 15! Wishing him the best of luck. He needs a good situation and an organization that believes in him
Hopefully the next team he goes to cause the Knicks ain't it.

no one at all:

zia 🤣🤣🤣I’m weak
ssshhuuuUUUUUUsshhh
DSJ was calling some weak ass fouls but when he pushed Trae on that floater, it was no call
Max Kellerman u call your own fouls so trae could’ve called it if he wanted it 🤷🏾♂️
@@iceyymari2418 yes, I know that but its customary that if your opponent isn't calling weak fouls you usually do the same unless it's a blatant foul
Trae Young and Dennis Smith Jr as your backcourt would be 🔥🔥
Hell no 😂 Trae Young and someone else Dennis ain’t it
@@trendingvideos6599 Cam REddish
Glad to see that these two have a good relationship...unfortunately they both were underrated and doubted...now they're respected because of they're hard work...surrounding yourself with people like you and meeting at the top is the best way...#true2atlanta...#DSmithfannow...
10:40 at 0.5x speed.
If you slow down to x5, his laugh sounds so Kawhi Leonard-esque. 1:00
lil friggitz esque lol
lil friggitz how tf did you discover that?
Its creepy haha
Trae Young handles a ridiculous
This dude Trae Young is straight balling. Absolutely unstoppable.
watching trae young play & seeing his skills inspires me as an undersized guard. but dennis smith is nice 🤩🤩🤩 hope he develops into a star the next few years
Who ever was recording this I love your laugh😭😭😭
1:50 that was a crazy carry
When you run without any lockdowns on your team smh 🤦🏻♂️
the impersonations were HILARIOUS!!!! and while D Smith clearly has more athleticism...Trae seems to be able to get anywhere he wants to and score with ease.
These 2 guys make it look effortless
these youngins are talented... sheeeshh
So... there's no carry in basketball anymore? I can literally call a carry or a palming everytime
Back in my day you had to keep your hands on top of the ball when dribbling
Couldn't stop watching. They're nice.
NBA is just another level. Those guys absolutely do NOT look like scrubs, I'm sure they can actually play ball. But Dennis & Trae make them look like friends that were invited to try the court.
