This quote by Trae has gone viral. The crazy part? He never said it.
April 22, 2025
I’ve seen this post everywhere today and have found zero evidence Trae said this. I did more digging and others have found it to be fake.

He did say the regular season was boring though. And look where that mentality got this team. Didnt seem to be having that much fun against the Heat and Boston either
even if he didnt say it whoever made that quote is on to something
Bias cause we always in it but I love the play-in
Makes the end of the season way more competitive for teams that would be trying to lose games otherwise
digital media literacy is not nba twitters strongsuit. takes all of 30 seconds to fact check.
step 1. does trae young talk like that?? atlanta fan or not when have we ever know trae young to talk like that?
(if needed) step 2. hmmm “box score” fun name but never heard of it…no search results ok. maybe box score news? nope. must be fake – but i want to make sure.
(if needed) step 3. type in full quote verbatim. what comes up? whaddya know “Box Score PH” a facebook account w/ 44k. let me click on the profile. hm, why is Box Score PH telling me Kawhi Leonard will be out if Game 2, 30 minutes after playing? wow! this has to be a fake news account.
