Kevin Durant, rest of NBA Twitter, hilariously welcomes Nick Young to the Warriors
Swaggy P is heading to the Bay.
After four seasons with the L.A. Lakers, Nick Young, one of the NBA’s most meme-able figures, has reportedly signed a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors.
And of course, any time Swaggy P is involved, you know NBA Twitter is going to have jokes.
New teammate Kevin Durant was one of the first to welcome his new teammate with a reference to perhaps his most iconic moment in Los Angeles.
