If you do not follow Arash Markazi on Twitter, you’re missing out on all the most ridiculous quotes from the NBA’s most ridiculous team, whether it be Kobe Bryant or one of his teammates. Tonight, it was Nick Young:
Nick Young attributes ‘Swaggy P’ to Old Testament

Nick Young on the origin of the Swaggy P nickname: "It's biblical. It's in the old testament. The prophet of swag."
— Arash Markazi (@ArashMarkazi) January 7, 2015 This is the latest iteration in Young’s explanations of his nickname. Last season, he said God came to him in a dream and gave him the moniker I’m like, ‘you know what God? That is a funny name! I might need to run with it! So, something religious is going on. But Nick wasn’t done:
Lin: "I was born in Torrance."Young: "Really?"Lin: "Yes, Nick. We've been through this. I wasn't born on another continent."
— Arash Markazi (@ArashMarkazi) January 7, 2015 Most likely Young knew Lin was from somewhere in California but didn’t know the exact location, but we prefer imagining he doesn’t understand the concept of second-generation American citizens.
Young on Kobe: "He has no filter. He just talks and talks and talks."Lin: "That's ironic."Young: "What?"Lin: "Nothing. Keep going."
