Atlanta Hawks superstar Trae Young, who entered the NBA in 2018, is seen as the elder statesman among the trio of young stars that includes Zion Williamson and Ja Morant, who were drafted in 2019.

Reflecting on the recent controversies surrounding Zion and Morant, Young attributes the rise of social media as a key factor behind the drama surrounding these talented players.

He acknowledges that their generation grew up with social media, from their AAU days to the present, making it a unique experience in the NBA.

While social media plays a role, Young also recognizes that both Zion Williamson and Ja Morant have contributed to the controversies surrounding them.

Zion's NBA future has been repeatedly questioned due to his injury history, and he is currently facing serious allegations from an ex-girlfriend.

On the other hand, Morant recently received a suspension for his involvement in a second gun incident on IG Live, which will impact his upcoming season.

Despite the circumstances, Trae Young empathizes with his fellow players and expresses his hopes for their well-being and success.

He emphasizes their immense talent and importance to the league, noting that the NBA needs players like Zion and Ja as the older generation, including LeBron James and Kevin Durant, eventually transitions out of the league.

Young believes that both players will overcome their challenges, with Zion needing to prioritize his health and Morant needing to make better choices.

Young's assessment is accurate, as Zion and Ja represent the future faces of the NBA. It is crucial for them to address their issues promptly to ensure their long-term success and the league's continued growth.

Springsteen called fame “a very distorted lens” and said he had to protect what mattered most to him.  Those fears helped inspire his next album, Darkness on the Edge of Town , which celebrated working-class life.  He also revealed he struggled with thoughts of suicide after his 1982 album Nebraska and began focusing on mental health.  Springsteen still goes to therapy today and says it has cha...
