Los Angeles Lakers: An Ode To Nick Young
The Time They Got Swaggy P:
Nick Young: "They got me, man. They stoles my Yeezys, too."

Not only was this the time we felt the most sorry for Nick Young, but it was also the time 70 percent of America learned what “Yeezys” were. During a game against the Orlando Magic in March, Young had $100,000 worth of items stolen from his house in Los Angeles. The burglars took clothing, jewelry, shoes and luggage, leaving Swaggy in a pretty somber mood.
There’s really not too much you can say about this one. The quote itself is fantastic, but in this instance, Nick Young’s human side shined through the swag. So even though it’s hard to feel sorry for a guy who had earned $18.4 million in his career to that point, it was a nice reminder that NBA players are more than just a source of entertainment for us.
