It’s expected that Michael Jordan ranks higher in all-time debates than Kobe Bryant. Many younger fans who grew up watching the Mamba seem to disagree. One such fan who won’t rank Michael Jordan higher on his all-time roster than Kobe is Trae Young, the star of the Hawks.
“The Million Dollarz Worth of Game” pod’s 290th episode invited Young to select his All-Time squad. As the point guard, he decided to start with himself. Kevin Durant and LeBron James occupied his forward positions. Then, he selected Shaquille O’Neal as his center without hesitation.
Trae Young’s list of All-Time NBA Team looks like the following:
Trae Young said, “In history, I got to have Bean at two, Kobe at my two… Mike’s my sixth man.. If I wasn’t starting, I put Mike in my place. I can’t put him at three, cuz that’s KD’s spot, that’s one of my idols.”
NBA Fans were unhappy with the Hawks star’s opinion and were quick enough to start clapping back at him. Many claim Jordan to be the GOAT, and missing him on the All-Time list isn’t going well for Young.
Social Media Had Variety Of Opinions On Trae Young’s Bold Claim
One guy on X (FKA Twitter) said, “If Micheal Jordan is 6th man that means trae has to be 97th man.” Meanwhile, another posted, “Michael Jordan the GOAT as 6th Man? want whatever drug Trae Young is on.”

One guy gave an honest verdict to Young, “Trae my guy. But I’m swapping Kobe for MJ. But also Trae had a special relationship with Kobe and Gigi said Trae was her favorite player so I see why he had Kobe.”
A Hawks Fan posted, “I’m a hawks fan and I would kick trae off his own team for MJ and run with zero pg. just sayin and 11 is my pg but not over MJ.”
Another fan replied on the post, “Trae I know how you feel about Kobe but there is no way possible MJJ is on the bench whatsoever.”
One guy trolled Trae Young for his opinion. He posted, “This is the problem with niggas born after 2000, they’ve never witnessed his ‘Airness’ in all of his glory!”
While Young is criticized for his opinions, he has a big season ahead. The Atlanta Hawks haven’t looked suitable for a long time. This might alter the image of Trae Young as he may have been a future face for the league among other stars. We’ll have to wait to see if the Hawks and Young have what it takes to claim the NBA title.
