Jeremy Lin won't call Nick Young "Swaggy P"

[red32]

I use nicknames w/ my friends. I like them. Chemistry builder.

In this case, Nick Young would be the nickname, since everyone else calls him Swappy P.

Who cares what he calls him?
I don't care. As long as he finds him in the wing for open shots.
Magic's teammates never called him Magic. They called him Ervin. It didn't seem to be a problem.

Either way as I said before....both need to shut the hell up and concentrate on ball and improving this teams record this season. Since people want to boast about how stupid it is to take this so serious...well it wouldn't even be a topic to discuss if Lin simply didn't fall for the reporters bait.

All he had to say is, " I'm not touching that one", but no he answers it as if it empowers him to say who deserves to be called a nick name or not. In all seriousness who the F--k cares if Nick has friends who calls him that.

Like I always say players need to learn Media 101 and how to deal with reporters,some stuff you just don't have to open your damn mouth for especially when you know the BS is going to be posted somewhere.

lol man... watch the video. You seem to be giving it more play too btw...

I did watch the video....that exactly why I said what you put in bold! It wouldn't even be a issue if Lin hadn't even answered the stupid question.

People that follow basketball casually (nobody on RealGM obviously) Who is Nick Young? Ohh you are talking bout Mr. I-G-G-Y Swaggy P. I got you.

A thread on RealGM doesn't make it an 'issue'...

Nicknames these days usually suck. I like "Swaggy", and it's weirdly fitting his real name is Nick. So in a way, Swaggy is a legit Nick name.

Anyhow, Lin seems like a goody two-shoes, but I don't care either way.

The word Swag has played out for years. He needs a new nickname.
