The Golden State Warriors won the 2018 NBA Championship on Friday night, and that meant a whole weekend worth of hardcore celebrations. One guy who probably did more celebrating, and drinking, than anyone else was backup shooting guard Nick Young.
Swaggy P, as he's famously known, went from the gutters of the NBA's Western Conference last season to the top of the mountain with the Warriors. It was only right that he partied hard, and while there isn't a lot of footage, his tweets should tell us more than we need to know.

On Monday, with the Warriors back in town and preparing for thither third championship parade in Oakland in the last four years, head coach Steve Kerr met with members of the media to discuss a number of topics. One of the topics was Nick Young's celebrations. When asked if he āgot lit,' Kerr said he didn't, but that Young sure did for the both of them.
āI didn't get lit. But Nick (Young) got lit for him and for me.ā
Steve Kerr on the celebration the last couple days: "I didn't get lit. But Nick (Young) got lit for him and for me."
