These photos of Trae Young and Kevin Durant over the years are so adorable

He’s so little!

The Hawks and Warriors played on Tuesday night and it got Trae Young’s dad all nostalgic.

These photos are all great, but really let’s appreciate that first one because it’s so darn adorable. It’s an assassin, with a smaller, more impressionable assassin — this is basically the plot for The Professional.

So smol.
So smol.

It’s really weird to think of Durant being an “old player,” but here we are. He might only be 30-years old, but Durant is the veteran player that rooks will have photos of from when they were kids. Whatever he said back then seems to be working, because Young is averaging 17.5 points per game and looks like a special player, even on the hapless Hawks.

What a time to be alive.
