Trae Young is among the best point guards in the NBA at 26.

The Atlanta Hawks All-Star is also one of the most popular players with over five million followers on Instagram (and 1.7 million on X).

This week, Young made a heartfelt post to social media with his wife.

Young wrote: "Forever a special day!"

Many fans commented on Young's post.

@femaleatlhawk: "Congrats to u and yours ❤️"

@tvbopsg: "GOAT"

@TheRealAndrew30: "Congrats goat we all love you"

@chxnluh: "Look at my man"

Young finished last season with averages of 24.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 11.6 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 41.1% from the field and 34.0% from the three-point range in 76 games.

Via The NBA (on March 12): "Trae Young posted his league-leading 39th PTS & AST double-double in the Hawks victory!

35 PTS (21-21 FTM)
12 AST
7 REB

He also became the 6th player in NBA history to record 21 FTM without a miss"

Despite Young's strong season, the Hawks missed the NBA playoffs for the second straight year.

That said, there is a lot of excitement around the franchise for the 2025-26 season.

Via Evan Sidery of Forbes: "The Hawks’ current projected rotation next season:

Starters: Trae Young, Dyson Daniels, Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson, Kristaps Porzingis

Second Unit: Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Luke Kennard, Asa Newell, Onyeka Okongwu

Atlanta is a team poised to take a significant jump."

Young is going into his eighth NBA season.
