Trae Young fails to rip Jalen Brunson jersey at Fanatics Fest

Trae Young attempted to rip a Jalen Brunson jersey during his appearance at Fanatics Fest on July 18, 2026. The effort was unsuccessful, resulting in Young tossing the intact jersey aside, much to the amusement of Knicks fans. This incident follows Young's recent trolling of the Knicks on social media, referencing his playoff victory over them in 2021. Young, now with the Washington Wizards, has faced ongoing criticism from Knicks supporters since that series. His actions may indicate he is attempting to revitalize a rivalry that has waned since the Knicks' championship win this season.
