Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young frustratedly uses his name to replace the word "snubbed" after missing the 2025 NBA All-Star game.

Atlanta guard Trae Young doesn’t view not getting picked for the All-Star Game as getting snubbed. He has a new word.

ATLANTA — Atlanta Hawks Trae Young has come up with a new word that’s very familiar to his lack of being named an NBA All-Star. “It’s no longer getting “snubbed” it’s getting “Traed” at this point,” Young posted on X.

Among those to make the cut are first-timer Victor Wembanyama and 21st-timer LeBron James. Six teams had multiple selections, while only two teams above .500 — the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings — had none. The game is once again stacked with recognizable talent, but there were plenty more players beyond the 24 players selected.

Sabonis has been a prototypical snub since he got to Sacramento four years ago. He puts up huge numbers for a team outside of title contention and sometimes gets lost in the fray as a result. He’s actually made more All-NBA teams than All-Star Games in his full seasons with the Kings.
