The Golden State Warriors added another weapon to their heavy arsenal prior to the 2017-18 NBA season in shooting guard Nick Young. Not only is Young one of the most charismatic players in the league, but his playing style made him a seamless fit with the reigning NBA champs.
That said, Young is hoping to play a solid part in the Warriors quest for their third championship in four years. He also had a couple of other wishes during his recent visit with “Santa Claus” per ESPN:
“I want a win. A triple-double would be great. At least 48 points. A clean block on LeBron (James). I'd like for you (Santa Clause) to take me to space.”
While Young's Christmas wish list may be a bit far-fetched, it is clear that he has his sights set on making his first-ever championship run. Aside from a potential title win, it seems the most likely to happen would be for Santa Claus to take him to space.
Despite the surge from the Houston Rockets and Boston Celtics to start the season, the consensus is that the Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers will likely square off in the NBA Finals for the fourth year in a row. If Young is hoping to check off at least one box, he better hope he is not on Santa's naughty list.
