Brooklyn Nets TV Voice Ian Eagle stopped by “Dukes & Bell” to preview the upcoming two-game set with the Hawks and says Trae Young deserves the superstar spotlight after the team failed to make the Playoff Bubble last season.

“This guys has a way about him that captures the moment, understands all of what surrounds the NBA. The fanfare and the buildup. I think Trae sees it as a means of motivation because of all of the chatter surrounding Luka Doncic.” Eagle explained.

Eagle added that as a broadcaster he steps up his own game when calling a broadcast with Trae involved.

“As a broadcaster guys, a lot of fun, because it means you walk into the arena that night and you don’t know what he’s going to do. He could pull-up from 40 feet away and you better be ready to nail that call”
