With Kobe Bryant out indefinitely, the Lakers needed someone to chuck up bad shots and have lots of “swag”. So they got Nick Young. He’s basically Kobe minus the passing or work ethic or anything that makes Kobe good. But he does have the crazy contested jumpers part down pat. And the afro. Can’t forget about the afro.
The Mav’s commentators brought up an interesting statistic about him: he’s the only active player to average more than 10 points per game while getting less than 2 rebounds and 2 assists. That’s pretty crazy, and it illustrates how limited of a player he truly is. Other players are one-dimensional in the sense that they only play offense or defense; Nick young is one-dimensional in that literally the ONLY thing he can do is shoot.
And to think Lakers fans were excited when they acquired him. Fools.
