Finally, our long national nightmare is over: we’ve finally discovered the origin of Swaggy P, the nickname mysteriously bestowed upon Lakers shooting guard Nick Young. For months, Young has shied away from revealing Swaggy P’s genesis, yet still promising both NBA TV and SLAM that he’d reveal it at some point in the future. Lucky for us, that future is today (er, yesterday), and we didn’t even have to wait for the tell-all book.
Young posted a video to Instagram revealing that divine influence is responsible for Swaggy P:
“God came in a dream [and] talked to me, and he gave me that name. I was like, ‘You know what, God? That is a funny name and I might need to run with it,’ and ever since then, I’ve been calling myself ‘Swaggy P.’ It’s a household name now.”
As for what the “P” actually stands for, we might actually have to wait for that book.
