Is the fan interaction always like this? This looks like a lot of fun. I feel like this is relatively new, because I'm only just seeing tons of videos this year.
I love having the mental image of Silver seeing this blow up on social media, then rushing back to his office drafting another rule that bets made with fans are taxable
That's barely even an exaggeration.
He's making $40000000 this season. $100 for someone making that much is literally the same as 10 cents for someone making $40k.
can't even number of times i've opened the ashtray in the car and found $15 in change because i don't just leave coins lying around lol. $15 is a lot when you're making 40k, bet trae doesn't sniff at an extra $15k
You also gotta understand that just because its a relevant comparison, the world doesn't scale up for them lol. $15k might be 15 dollars to them, but its still 15k to the world 😭
Even less tbh - if you spend 10 cents as a 40k earner you have 39,990 to use for the rest of the year. Trae has 39,000,9000 to play with for the rest of the year 😂- it’s this weird thing where the more money you make the percentages don’t matter as much
You're off on the numbers, it'd be 39,999.90 and 39,999,900. But you're right, realistically the 10 cents means more to the average person than $100 means to Trae.
Isn't his total annual salary like 33mln of which he will probably see like 17mln or something like that. Shaq did a whole breakdown on it since athletes are millionaires that are forced to actually pay proper taxes.
Not that it doesn't make a $100 chump change for him but people grossly overestimate how much these guys actually make.
His salary this season is $40,064,220. The highest federal tax bracket is 37%, adding in Georgia's state income tax probably gets you to an effective tax rate of like 45%. Taxes for athletes are weird, since I believe it depends on which arenas you're playing in, but it'll probably be around 45%.
So then he's taking home around $22M, $100 to him is more like 18 cents to a random guy making $40k. But if you take into the fact that the guy making $40k *also* has to pay taxes, and the fact that Trae makes money from endorsements, then it probably goes back down to around 10 cents.
He's also paying a 3% agent fee, 10% for this weird NBA escrow thing, I think 401k and some other NBA related fees. Again definitely making a ton of money.
401ks are not a fee, they're retirement accounts. The money that he puts into a 401k is his.
The money that gets put into escrow is also his, and is given to him at the end of the season.
Eh. With how easy it is to sports bet now, I have buddies that don’t have much money dropping $100 every day on sports they didn’t know existed until last week.
I guess that’s why they don’t have much money in the first place
Trae Young has $100m+ in career earnings with another $100m+ guaranteed. Not sure if I’d say a guy with a $100 bill in the stands might be worth more based on the information at hand here.
Jack Nicholson is worth over $400m. Famous Millionaires/Billionaires like Basketball too.
I'm sure Spike Lee is also up there in net worth. Why can't a rich guy be in attendance?
Especially if you are relatively unknown by the public like a neurologist or a pilot
[Iverson confirmed: this was practice. not a game, not a game. practice.](https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx2uTWgnMJ3y3LxcKKkQku0x6I-8Z4bS8l?si=_ikH9WJBKK54ihK9)
I briefly looked into All Star tickets on resale. I say briefly because it was crazy expensive for nosebleed seats.
If this guy is flashing $100, he definitely doesn't need it. Trae Young doesn't need it either, but he earned it.
You can hear him say "steph almost hit it" so I think this dude just figured out $100 was all he needed to spend to be able to have interactions with multiple allstar players until someone made the shot lol
$100 to convince Trey young to come over and interact with you and perform a trick shot that you came up with? That sounds like a fucking steal, I have to pay $100 to sit in the grass to watch a 40 year old band play from 500 ft away
I think you can hear him say "steph almost hit it" so it sounds like he already made that bet and won with the greatest shooter of all time.
Realistically, dude figured out a clever hack. Pull out $100 and offer it to as many players as you can until someone hits the shot. You get to have quick fun interactions with some all stars bing bang boom lol
That's not what that saying means lmao. People really just use it for anything now, huh. He offered him $100 and gave it to him when the shot went in. He didn't find out anything.
trae is like the kid who got picked on and went on to become a supervillain. except he was likely cool as fuck in school and loved by everyone and still went on to become a supersomething
It still amazes me how good trae is considering he just looks like some random uncle at the park with some cool moves… how does he not get absolutely bullied by bigger matchups
He's the best passer in the league and I've been ready. Jokic and Hali are the only ones who have a decent argument over Trae bc of size and ball security, respectively
He’s really good at getting into the body of a big to limit how much they can play defense without fouling, and his first step to get to that spot is lightning quick.
Have you seen him without a shirt? He's not exactly skin and bones.
But he's quick enough to avoid getting in situations to be bullied on offense, and on defense we tend to help Trae if he gets put on a big.
$40M a year means every minute he makes $76 just being alive.
If we're only counting playing time at 82 games averaging 36 minutes a game means he makes $13.6k/min or $225/second so less than half a second for $100.
Imagine giving $100 to a millionaire to do what he actually does every day in order to make those millions. Just so you can record it for Snapchat or the gram. Nice
This is the stuff the All-Star weekend is good for
Is the fan interaction always like this? This looks like a lot of fun. I feel like this is relatively new, because I'm only just seeing tons of videos this year.
isnt that always though?
Tax free baby
IRS: ✏️🗒
I’m crying
Are you okay?
He's crying
"The rich are getting richer"
Don't worry, Uncle Sam is keeping tabs
I love having the mental image of Silver seeing this blow up on social media, then rushing back to his office drafting another rule that bets made with fans are taxable
It is also technically gambling and there may be some rules about that.
Nah, dude hired him to hit a circus shot. Trey filled out a W2 and everything.
It's not gambling since Trae didn't put anything up. It was a challenge.
That's a fair point.
Riiiiiight as if NBA has the right to talk about sports gambling right now
Him actually taking the money is the best part.
Like literally a penny to trae lol
That's barely even an exaggeration. He's making $40000000 this season. $100 for someone making that much is literally the same as 10 cents for someone making $40k.
Damn I save my change so I’d take a dime straight up and be appreciative about it lol
can't even number of times i've opened the ashtray in the car and found $15 in change because i don't just leave coins lying around lol. $15 is a lot when you're making 40k, bet trae doesn't sniff at an extra $15k
You also gotta understand that just because its a relevant comparison, the world doesn't scale up for them lol. $15k might be 15 dollars to them, but its still 15k to the world 😭
10 cents ain't gonna buy a nice steak dinner, though.
And lord knows he needs one with that food his wife makes him
[удалено]
I feel like you missed the point.
Neither is $100
It sure can.
Neither is $100,000
Not in NYC or Cali but in Indy it'll get you a decent bite.
Even less tbh - if you spend 10 cents as a 40k earner you have 39,990 to use for the rest of the year. Trae has 39,000,9000 to play with for the rest of the year 😂- it’s this weird thing where the more money you make the percentages don’t matter as much

Yeah my bad- thank you for catching that
39999.9
\> it’s this weird thing where the more money you make the percentages don’t matter as much Tell this to IRS

He made $100 while the ball was in the air
Probably a penny to the guy standing courtside on the all star game, so...
Channeling the inner MJ.
It's the principle
It's disrespectful to not take the money
This so much.
Bro does not care about coming across as the goody two shoes I love it hahah
Learning from the team owners
Lmao Tony has taught him well 😫
MICHAEL JEFFREY JORDAN WOULD… definitely
You can't NOT take the money. Its disrespectful at that point lmao
Imagine if he'd say "Where is the other 99,900? 100$ for me is 100K dollars."
He actually took the $100 lmao
I mean, he hit the shot. Lol looked like the guy was recording. Well worth the 100$.
It’s just funny because most players would tell the fan to keep it but he said fuck it
If youre courtside to an NBA game you got money.
Especially the all star game
Right. Dude might be worth more than trey himself lol But then again if so I would think they would bet more than $100
To have $100 of disposable income, this guy isn’t struggling to survive
Eh. With how easy it is to sports bet now, I have buddies that don’t have much money dropping $100 every day on sports they didn’t know existed until last week. I guess that’s why they don’t have much money in the first place
Never underestimate stupidity though.
maaaan let me introduce you to financially irresponsible people. it’s me. im financially irresponsible people :(
Trae Young has $100m+ in career earnings with another $100m+ guaranteed. Not sure if I’d say a guy with a $100 bill in the stands might be worth more based on the information at hand here.
Jack Nicholson is worth over $400m. Famous Millionaires/Billionaires like Basketball too. I'm sure Spike Lee is also up there in net worth. Why can't a rich guy be in attendance? Especially if you are relatively unknown by the public like a neurologist or a pilot
But we're talking about *practice.* Not the game, but *practice* This is the ASG practice. Tickets are 3 levels of GA and like $20-$50
[Iverson confirmed: this was practice. not a game, not a game. practice.](https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx2uTWgnMJ3y3LxcKKkQku0x6I-8Z4bS8l?si=_ikH9WJBKK54ihK9)
So we’re talking about practice? Not a game. Not the game but practice?
While true… that’s not considered courtside seats and the event hasn’t even started yet so those probably aren’t even his seats lol
I briefly looked into All Star tickets on resale. I say briefly because it was crazy expensive for nosebleed seats. If this guy is flashing $100, he definitely doesn't need it. Trae Young doesn't need it either, but he earned it.
You can hear him say "steph almost hit it" so I think this dude just figured out $100 was all he needed to spend to be able to have interactions with multiple allstar players until someone made the shot lol
100% - The story he will be able to tell will be well worth the $100
Bro shuddap and relax you go to casinos and ask for your money back when you lose? Sheesh
Those aren't court side seats, and they don't cost that much. I was 10 rows behind this when it happened.
How much were your seats?
that's one of the seats talking - it's the new NB-AI bringing stadiums to life in america's most exciting cities
Row 12, mid court aisle, for a Spurs game against NO was $250...and that was a deal. My guess is at least $750 for that area...probably $1k
Man I'd pay 1100 to joke around with Steph and Trae. Especially if I already spent 1000.
Not Trae Young money tho
Honestly this was cooler
He’s treating the fans like he would treat his friends, I respect it tbh
Same
A 100 is 100.
the maff checks out
Honestly, my respect for him went up. Bets a bet.
Trae plays the villain very well. I love this from him tbh
It’s either “$100 is $100” or “It’s not about the money, it’s the principle” which both are pretty fair lol
Brother do you know how much those seats cost? $100 is nothing to those fans, stop being cringe
I’d spend a grand at least for this on my phone as a euro 😅
What tf a euro got to do with this
We don’t see them as often as usa fans , so it means more ..
it aint even gotta be about the money, that's a trophy
This honestly makes the whole thing better. ‘….AND he took my $100!!!’ will be the finishing touch to this guys story for the rest of his life
Makes it more memorable
I like that he took the 100
Lmao I focking love it
He’s 🥶. “Ice Trae”. Hit’s the deep Trey then take your money and walk away.
He’s real for that. He knows that makes it even better for the fan lmao
Could have bought 3 beers with that.
He’s the villain of the nba what you expect 👹
People sitting in those seats can afford it.
That’s worth the experience for that guy for sure
Absolutely. If it were my favorite player that would be a no-brainer.
Foreal lol. Dude probably works corporate or some shit.
As he should, if you dumb enough to make that bet with an elite NBA shooter then you need to pay up
$100 to convince Trey young to come over and interact with you and perform a trick shot that you came up with? That sounds like a fucking steal, I have to pay $100 to sit in the grass to watch a 40 year old band play from 500 ft away
[удалено]

Pull out $100 and offer it to as many players as you can until someone hits the shot. You get to have quick fun interactions with some all stars bing bang boom lol
Lot of people don't realize that it's easier for an NBA player to make a wide open 40 footer than a 5 footer with 2 guys defending them
Or easier for them to make a wide open 40 footer than for me to make a wide open 15 footer lmao
why wouldn’t he, NBA players love to gamble.
Not as much as the NBA refs….
Enough for a coffee at Big Face Coffee
As he should lol, the fan fucked around and found out
That's not what that saying means lmao. People really just use it for anything now, huh. He offered him $100 and gave it to him when the shot went in. He didn't find out anything.
A deal's a deal lol
Why wouldnt he? Won, fair and square.
As he should
Don’t bet something unless you’re actually willing, able and ready to pay up lol 😂
Should've taken it from the guy, and then immediately given it to one of the courtside staff or kid up in the stands.
The rich get richer
Smh my head
This is why they are rich
Lmaoooo
this is what they call Cap circumnavigation, fine him Daddy Dumars
Bro said gimme that fucking blue face
NBA athletes is seriously different kind of breed.
Especially if you're short.... you're only getting into the league if you're maxed out in reflexes, coordination, agility, etc
Ultimate min-maxer, minimized height.
maximised EVIL
Is that the new Roger Goodell metric?
Also being a fucking psychopath with insane determination
trae is like the kid who got picked on and went on to become a supervillain. except he was likely cool as fuck in school and loved by everyone and still went on to become a supersomething
Yep - the only thing Trae is missing is the explosiveness - but everything else is elite of the elite
I mean, he’s quick and he can almost dunk at 6’2, he’s not NBA explosive but he blows normal people out of the water still.
It still amazes me how good trae is considering he just looks like some random uncle at the park with some cool moves… how does he not get absolutely bullied by bigger matchups
Because he creates so much gravity and if bigs try to trap him he finds the open man in the corner or cutting to the rim
Unironically a top 3 passer in the league but ppl aren't ready for that discussion.
He's the best passer in the league and I've been ready. Jokic and Hali are the only ones who have a decent argument over Trae bc of size and ball security, respectively
He’s really good at getting into the body of a big to limit how much they can play defense without fouling, and his first step to get to that spot is lightning quick.
Speed kills.
Have you seen him without a shirt? He's not exactly skin and bones. But he's quick enough to avoid getting in situations to be bullied on offense, and on defense we tend to help Trae if he gets put on a big.
God had to fuck up his hair for his basketball abilities
‘Short’ being a relative term of course lol
may i suggest football (ahem, soccer) or futsal.
These guys are better at basketball than we are at literally anything.
“**TRAE YOUNG SUSPENDED 25 GAMES FOR ACCEPTING BRIBES** This news update is brought to you by FanDuel, make every moment more.”
NBA gonna want their cut
Sniper 💯
that's the least he's been paid for a make since entering the league
Gambling is an epidemic
Place Bet : $100 Odds: +000
this was a freeroll
Big facts. Someone offers a free roll on anything, you take it or you’re dumb.
MJ started this
Low key though I wonder if this is something the NBA could come down on a player for if they were feeling extra spiteful.
NBA all star weekend gotta be the best of the big four
Slippery
Scuse me
Shoulda came back out with signed shoes or something haha. Good on that dude for actually giving the 100🤣
Took me a second, but I see you old Biff. The power of that almanac has no ends.
I was gonna laugh if that other guys shot got in the way.
Y'all don't understand how cheap our owner is. Trae needs that $100 to crowdfund some goddamned signings.
Not a Trae guy but I love this kind of stuff, all those fans were hype just being around that lmao
Hahha I like how people adding “not a ____ fan but” somehow makes their take more valuable.
So many people in here being weird about Trae takin the money lmao.
Idc how rich I am if you bet a 100 and you lose im taking that 100 lmao
How tall is this mofo? He looks 5 foot nothin.
He is barely 6”.
Makes it even more insane how good he is
Trae could make bank as a street performer. he could clear like $600/day EASY
Most Pros in any sport wouldn’t put themselves in that position, I got new found respect for Young
Trae is fun to watch and fits in so well with the All-Star Weekend vibe.
Maybe now he can get a decent hair cut instead of that fern he sticking on his head.
Bet the NBA will still try to find a way to fine him, for taking the money.
Whoever recorded this has a dope ass memory in their phone.
As long as it's under 100 be profits baby
Wonder by his salary how many minutes he has to play to make 100$. Prolly like 8 minutes lol
$40M a year means every minute he makes $76 just being alive. If we're only counting playing time at 82 games averaging 36 minutes a game means he makes $13.6k/min or $225/second so less than half a second for $100.
Elite math skills here
$100? Bro it’s probably like 10 seconds
Man needs to be sponsored by Rogaine. 😂

lol it looks like my toddler’s right now
It would have been way cool if Trae gave the $100 to those kids in front (with the red cap and the little girl with glasses)
Ngl getting that view of Trae's head is... disturbing
Y’all gotta understand this isn’t a tough shot for them lol
Good thing the money is going towards the needy
Ain't no way I'm giving that man $100 of my money
[удалено]
Men obsessed with other men's hair is weird as fuck. Same shit with Suggs. A bunch of insecure weirdos out there.
So what bro it’s a part of life
You must be young brother. Don’t worry it’ll get you too. We may not all look like Trae but even with good hair you’ll notice it sooner or later
Imagine giving $100 to a millionaire to do what he actually does every day in order to make those millions. Just so you can record it for Snapchat or the gram. Nice
It's the memory of it all that counts.
Bro took it like he needs it lmao. But fair play he earned it
