Upon his official arrival with the Golden State Warriors, shooting guard Nick Young was confronted with his past, particularly a tweet expressing his hatred for Golden State fans — one memory that likely won't sit well with many Bay Area faithful.
Check out his not-so-old tweet:
I hate 2016 GS fans … They dnt know nothing about basketball
— Nick Young (@NickSwagyPYoung) June 11, 2016
While the tweet was sent a little over a year ago, the new signing defended himself by taking the easiest of all routes — saying he was hacked.
“I was hacked,” Young said jokingly, according to Marcus Thompson of the San Jose Mercury News. “Hacking is a real thing. Those weren't my fingers on the phone.”
While that excuse is as old as Draymond Green‘s Snapchat snafu, it seems Young has learned from some of the best, letting the past be the past and choosing to endear himself to a new fan base by his actions, instead of his words.
