Nick Young

What’s in a successful Los Angeles Lakers postgame recovery routine? Chocolate milk. No, seriously: Chocolate milk. Baxter Holmes of ESPN.com penned a wonderful piece on how many Lakers get a much-needed fix of organic chocolatey goodness following every game. The entire thing is worth a read, as it goes into more detail about the drink [...]

Nick Young is still Nick Young. During the Los Angeles Lakers’ almost win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night, Swaggy P actually played some pretty good defense. He was active and engaged and hounding many of Minny’s shooters. And he wants everyone to know it. And because he wants everyone to know it, he [...]

Kobe Bryant’s teammates seem more willing to poke the Black Mamba despite the subsequent risk of enduring his venomous reaction. Last season, Kobe Bryant was pushed during a Los Angeles Lakers practice to the point where he immortalized the Charmin brand. Nick Young, I believe, was at the center of his wrath, having went back [...]

Jeremy Lin did a reddit AMA on Wednesday, and, naturally, he tackled the important questions. Like whether former Los Angeles Lakers teammate is a super genius. It all started when Lin was asked about the funniest teammates he has ever played alongside, to which he responded (h/t HoopsHype): Jeremy, who’s the funniest guy you’ve ever [...]

Nick Young will never ever forget this day. Ever. The Los Angeles Lakers’ guard celebrated his 30th birthday with a bang by finally popping up the question to his girlfriend and famous pop star Iggy Azalea. And of course, she said yes (per, Karen Civil): [tweet https://twitter.com/KarenCivil/status/605599263343509504] Congratulations to the happy couple! The two have [...]

Byron Scott and Nick Young better make note. This is how you handle player-coach beef. Stan Van Gundy and Andre Drummond had something of a disagreement in the Detroit Pistons’ loss to the Boston Celtics’ on Wednesday night. Drummond was visibly upset and immediately isolated himself from the rest of the team. And at that [...]

Nick Young and Byron Scott should probably consider couples therapy. The high-volume shooting guard and Los Angeles Lakers head coach seldom see eye to eye. The former is a freewheeling spirit, an easygoing goofball with an appreciation for shoes, smiling, contested jumpers and all things Iggy Azelea. The latter is an old school head honcho, [...]

The Lakers are certainly one of the worst teams in the league right now, but sometimes they have been quite entertaining to watch not only because of Kobe Bryant, but also because of the Nick ‘Swaggy P’ Young. And on Monday night, Young gave us another highlight to brag about when he nailed a three-pointer [...]

So this is why Byron Scott doesn’t have Kobe Bryant practice regularly. Here we all were thinking it was to offset the minutes that the 36-year-old Bryant is playing, yet totally shouldn’t be playing. Kobe leads the league in minutes played. At 36. Nineteen years into his career. For a six-win Los Angeles Lakers team. [...]

Things haven’t been going well at all for the purple and gold this season, as they continue to struggle against almost every opponent. However, things may start to look a little brighter, as their sixth man guard—Nick Young may return from his thumb injury next week, according to Mike Bresnahan of the LA Times. The [...]
