Dyson Daniels is in his first season as Trae Young’s backcourt partner with the Atlanta Hawks. However, their bond is strong enough that the third-year wing is already concocting new shooting celebrations with the All-Star point guard. After Wednesday’s contest against the New York Knicks, Daniels joined NBA Today, where Malika Andrews questioned if he knew Young’s new ‘shooting dice’ celebration was coming in the Big Apple.
The Australian confirmed his knowledge of the gesture and wasn’t shy about hyping up the moment. “Oh yeah, we was talking in the locker room I think two days before this game that he was gonna shoot some dice. Perfect timing, he was dribbling out the clock.
.. it was meant for it.
” Daniels started. Daniels also underlined the importance of the matchup for Young and the Hawks, who have had an extensive history over the past few years. The blooming rivalry has resulted in very mixed opinions from the city regarding Young, who has put the Knicks away in exciting fashion on several occasions.
“For him, being in New York, all the love and hate he gets out there, it was just right.” Daniels continued. It would make sense for the All-NBA playmaker to break out a brand-new celebration against New York.
Not only did Young register another statement win at Madison Square Garden, but he also booked his team a berth in Las Vegas for the NBA Cup Semi-Finals. Young has been the main catalyst in bringing the intensity up during battles between the two.
