No incoming rookie has faced immediate criticism like Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young. The Crossover defends his play at NBA Summer League and explains why people should stop comparing him to Stephen Curry. 

No longer draining daggers for the Lakers, Kobe Bryant—the self-styled Black Mamba—is now an entertainment mogul with a friendlier mission: transporting kids to magical worlds.
