So Curry injured himself again in his first game back from an injured ankle. You and I both know what that means: Nick Young as the first option on offense! He scored a bunch in the fourth quarter of this one sans Curry, and if Curry isn’t back for the next game (RIP), Young should…

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…

This is what I am reduced to. Making highlights for the player known as “Swaggy P” even when the amount of points he scored is decidedly non-swaggy. I suppose this is the price we pay for living in a world where Nick Young will get a championship ring; he does not play a big enough…

Nick Young was given the entire fourth quarter to pretty much do what he wanted. The Warriors were up by forty, and he had only taken two shots up to that point, so he made the most of the scoreboard disparity and shot the ball ten times in the fourth. Normally one thinks of the…

A new season. Allow me to make a little noise of pure pleasure. UHHHHUUOOO. WUHHHH. It arrived a little earlier than expected, but it is, indeed, a totally new season. Who knows what’s going to happen? I’m not sure on the details quite yet, but I can tell you this: rookies will be scrubs, new…

On this night of insane statlines (Draymond Green still counts as a role-player, right, RIGHT?), it would have been nice to see Nick Young drop 40. He was well on his way, with 23 early in the third quarter, but then, I don’t know, he stopped scoring or something. You think I was watching? After…

Normally when a team with Nick Young on it sucks, Nick Young is a primary reason for the suckage. It’s been such a constant pattern throughout his career that I don’t think anyone would have expected to be broken. Here we are. The Lakers, after a decent start to the season, suck. Bad. I don’t…

Is anyone else getting present-day Steve Francis vibes from the thumbnail? If you haven’t seen Francis’ amazing (horrifying) transformation, I suggest you navigate your brower to Google image search and see for yourself. Yeah. Cocaine’s a hell of a drug. Nick Young doesn’t look too good in the thumbnail. That’s why I’m bringing up Francis….

Zach Lowe made some waves recently by stating that Nick Young is playing defense this year, which is apparently surprising because he apparently hasn’t played defense at any point in his career. I wouldn’t know. DownToBuck does not care about defense. Still, I’m going to challenge Zach on this. How on earth did he figure…

This is an appropriately swaggy Nick Young video, definitely befitting his “Swaggy-P” nickname. With the exception of his first goaltended bucket and some free throws at the end, this vid is nothing but primo swaggy action. Stepback jumpers, a couple threes, and lots of thick, hot, viscous, dripping swag being deposited on every available surface….
