Larry Nance Jr., who has been responsible for putting many of the NBA's best on a poster, claims he can do the same against his former teammate Nick Young of the Golden State Warriors.
The Los Angeles Lakers starting power forward came back from injury during Monday's tilt against the L.A. Clippers, but now looks forward to meeting his former teammate across the floor. In fact, he might even posterize him if given the opportunity.
“If he's under there, look out,” said Nance with a grin.

Asked if he thinks Young will find himself in that situation, the athletic forward answered wittily.
“Unless I can dunk from the three-point line, he’s not going to be anywhere near me,” he said.
Nance's dunking ability has made the rounds throughout last season, as he buried then-Net, now-teammate Brook Lopez on one of the candidates for Dunk of the Year.
The Wyoming product won the starting job over former starter Julius Randle and rookie Kyle Kuzma, who filled out admirably in his absence, as Nance missed 11 games with a broken thumb.
If his thumb is in full health and Young finds himself in the wrong spot, Lakers fans might just get a treat from the lanky wing on Wednesday.
