Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young took to Twitter to express his disbelief at Dr. J’s recent list of the top ten NBA players of all time.
During a recent interview, Dr. J revealed his top ten NBA players of all time, surprising many by not including any modern stars on the list. This meant notable players like LeBron James and Stephen Curry, widely recognized as two of the greatest NBA players ever, were omitted from his selection.
Even though Dr. J acknowledged that LeBron James and Stephen Curry are among the best NBA players of their generation, but they haven’t attained the highest status in his view just yet.
Trae Young expressed profound disbelief upon seeing the list, quoting a tweet that says, “This list gotta be fake.”
