Nick Young returned from a thumb injury this week and the Los Angeles Lakers have a 2-0 record with him back in the lineup. Young scored 17 points on 6-for-10 shooting in his season debut against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday, then 16 points on 6-for-15 shooting against a short-handed Houston Rockets team Wednesday night.
The man they call Swaggy P told reporters after the Hawks game that his swag had rubbed off on everybody. After the Rockets game, Young was asked to explain what swag means to him.
The definition of "swag," according to @NickSwagyPYoung: "I leave a presence. I'm like Michael Jackson, Prince, all those other guys."

OK, that's the best answer possible. If you like Young, you like him even more after reading that. And how can you not like him? It's unlikely the Lakers will keep this streak going, but at least he's injected some personality into the locker room. On a losing team, you need guys like him to keep things light.
