Nick 'Swaggy P' Young Pays Tribute to Anniversary of His Historically Cocky Missed 3- Pointer
By Jack Murphy
While Nick Young, also known as "Swaggy P," was never an elite baller, he is well known even among the casual NBA fans. One reason for this is for his premature celebration of a 3-pointer he sank in...or so he thought. Indeed, this might be one of the funniest misses ever in league history.
This famous play that broke the internet happened six years ago and Young, probably more than anybody else, has not forgotten.
So on this day history was made lol https://t.co/Wul5g3khGi

In a game against the New York Knicks, Young chucked up a three with the clock winding down. While the shot was still in the air, the ex-Laker turned around with all the confidence in the world thinking the ball was about to find the bottom of the nylon.
Nope, not today!

Even six years after the embarrassing moment, Young still has a great sense of humor about it. Thanks for the hilarious memory, Swaggy P.
