Dukes & Bell on Wednesday welcomed Ray Young, the father of Hawks star Trae Young, to the show. The guys discussed several topics including what the city of Atlanta means to he and Trae.

“I just think for us as a family first and foremost, we can’t thank the city enough for giving my son this opportunity. I’ll never forget sitting in New York at the table and Trae hoping he would get to play in Atlanta,” he explained.

“It would have been cool to go to New York or Boston, but for him to be that type of kid that wants to come here and bring that first championship to Atlanta, that’s what it’s all about,” Young added

Ray also discussed how impressed he has been with new head coach Quin Snyder and the positive direction he believes the team, and his son, are going in.
