Social Media Reacts to Trae Young Being Snubbed From The 2025 All Star Game

The 2025 All-Star reserves were announced tonight and Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young was not among the ones who were selected. Young is the league leader in assists, averaging 11.4 APG and this would have been his fourth appearance in the All-Star game and would have been the first year that Young had made consecutive All-Star games. He also leads the league in assist percentage (an estimate of the percentage of teammate field goals a player assisted while on the floor). He has been one of the top shot-creators and playmakers in the league this season, but he is not going to be participating in the 2025 All-Star Game.
The Eastern Conference All Star Reserves were Cade Cunningham, Damian Lillard, Tyler Herro, Evan Mobley, Pascal Siakam, Darius Garland, and Jaylen Brown.
Social media had a lot of reactions to Young missing out on the All-Star Game.
How Trae Young is only a three time All-Star is preposterous

Trae Young (who posts elite numbers yearly) has never once been voted into the All Star game by the coaches (twice as an injury replacement and once through fan vote). If you don’t think there’s a targeted agenda against him by the coaches at this point then idk what to tell you. pic.twitter.com/59gMGbW1pA

They do Trae Young wrong every year. He should’ve been an All-Star EVERY season since his sophomore year

Trae Young continues to be the most disrespected player in the league.

Once again, the fans, who had him fifth in their vote among East guards, should feel disrespected as their vote is disregarded.
Trae Young averaging 23/11/2 and leading the league in assist and still not getting an all star selection

The NBA literally hates Trae Young for NO REASON.

One of the best offensive players & playmakers and consistently gets disrespected by the everyone tbh. The fact that these last 3 years he wasnt even an all star RESERVE says so much (last year was altnernate)... https://t.co/Gv0yDju5rj pic.twitter.com/7nOnY0tXh3
Trae Young is the most underrated and disrespected superstar in NBA HISTORY.

Nobody has been snubbed and disregarded for no apparent reason more than him. https://t.co/EwT7DhfxId
Coaches seem like they’ve had an agenda against Trae Young ever since the Lloyd Pierce debacle. Him getting black listed for the All Star game has become a yearly tradition (Tyler Herro is hilarious). https://t.co/6x9cWUo9Ac

Trae Young now has 2 out of the 6 seasons ever to average 20 and 10 assists and miss the All-Star Game.

22.7 PPG
11.4 APG
First player to not make the All-Star team while averaging 20p/10a since… Trae Young in 2023. pic.twitter.com/QpiNYbiiJu
Trae Young doesn't need my help to arbitrate his case to make the All Star Game.
— Mike Conti (@MikeConti929) January 30, 2025
I just don't understand how FOUR players who finished below him in the fan/player/media vote were selected over him.
LaMelo Ball and Hornets fans should feel similarly disrespected.
