Nick Young 18 Points Full Highlights (3/14/2018)

I know it’s sort of a cop-out to write a video description about the erroneous nicknames that basketball-references lists for various players, but, come on. “Bean Burrito”? Really? That’s Nick Young’s nickname? He’s a bean burrito?

To their credit, they do list his real nickname, “Swaggy P”, before they list “Bean Burrito”, but that’s not really an excuse. From my limited research, it seems like Young assigned the nickname to himself while he was on the Wizards, probably as a joke because his whole life seems to be one big running joke and he’s happy to have it that way, and it just never caught on. I guess I shouldn’t hate on him too much; it’s not like he was going around telling people to call him “Black Mamba” like a certain other chucktastic former Laker.

This nickname sucks so bad that I’m going to start using it ironically going forward and maybe build some kindship with Wizards fans who had to endure the Young/McGee era.
