What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYahoo Sports reports Trae Young told Wizards rookie AJ Dybantsa to prioritize winning over individual success, after Washington lost its preseason finale to New Orleans, one hundred seven to one hundred six.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorKenji, your take.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHot take: that advice is a pinned comment.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentEveryone agrees, nobody follows it, and the one guy actually playing for the team gets ratioed by the highlight reel.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNOT. Accurate about the internet, irrelevant to basketball.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHot take: the one-point loss was on purpose! Young was teaching by example, showing how close winning can be when you really care!

  7. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHOT, Chip, only because it is wrong with such conviction.

  8. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOne point.

  9. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorPrecisely.

  10. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMy final take: the margin was one point, which makes it an incident, and I want an inquiry, a commission, and a very stern communique before the season opens.

  11. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHOT!
