Nick Young of the Los Angeles Lakers has been regarded by many in his relatively short NBA career as a bit of a punkish upstart.

On Tuesday night against the New York Knicks, “Swaggy P” as he refers to himself, did nothing to dispel this impression as he celebrated a three-point attempt which did not actually connect.

The question now is, who will be the first player to punk Young with a similar three-point celebration on a missed trey?

Oh, and if you were wondering where the Swaggy P moniker came from… (as I was) Lakers Nation / SLAM has got your back:

The P is a mystery. I can’t give that secret out yet, Young says. It was one of my first nicknames, so nobody really knew about it and I just kept it a secret. People kept asking about it, so I started saying it’s a mystery. In a couple years I’ll give y’all something.

I can wait. No, really… I can.

Los Angeles Lakers guard, Nick Young stunned Shanghai NBA fans (and some Golden State Warrior players) by hitting an over the head half court shot  on the NBA tour of China. It looks like Swaggy P is fitting in just well at Laker Land.
