Trae Young snubs Michael Jordan from his all-time NBA team, slotting 6x champ as 6th man on his lineup

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young shared his all-time NBA team and had Michael Jordan, one of the most successful players, as his sixth man. Young appeared as a guest on Million Dollaz Worth of Game on Sunday. The All-Star guard had an interesting group of players when asked to share his all-time NBA team.

Having an all-time NBA team means having the best players in each position. For Young, he sees himself as a top player among the talented pool of players in the league. He named himself part of his all-time team as the point guard. For the shooting guard, the Hawks star didn't hesitate to put Kobe Bryant on his list.

For his small forward, Kevin Durant took the spot. Despite being a natural small forward, LeBron James finished the forwards and was recognized as Young's all-time power forward. The former Oklahoma point guard selected Shaquille O'Neal as the center on his all-time squad.

He wasn't done with his lineup and named the sixth man of his team, Michael Jordan.

When asked why he had Bryant over Jordan, he defended his take that the LA Lakers legend is the MJ of his time.

Young has so much love and respect for Bryant, for the latter's death, the three-time All-Star wore No. 8 as his jersey number and even had an eight-second violation at the start of the game. But his biggest tribute that night was when he finished with 45 points.

Watch the video below to see Young's tribute to Bryant.
