My Take
Nick Young, forever "Swaggy P", is one of my favorite kinds of athlete: the one whose personality outshines the stat sheet. A six-foot-seven LA kid who went from USC to a long NBA career and ended it with a 2018 championship ring in Golden State. The legend of him celebrating a three before it dropped only to watch it rim out captures his joyful, fearless theater perfectly. Plenty of players score more, but few made the game look like that much fun. I value that showmanship; sport needs characters who remind us it is, fundamentally, play.
