The Los Angeles Lakers held their All-Access event on Tuesday night and Nick Young, Jeremy Lin and Wayne Ellington took part in a panel which quickly became a comedy event.
Seriously, the winning chemistry between Lin and Young is unlike anything the Lakers have shown all season.
For instance, here’s Jeremy Lin explaining the concept of being single to Nick Young:
Lin: "I'm single."
Young: "How are you single?"
Lin: "Because I'm not dating anyone Nick."

And here’s Jeremy telling Nick (once again) where he was born.
Lin: "I was born in Torrance."
Young: "Really?"
Lin: "Yes, Nick. We've been through this. I wasn't born on another continent."

Here’s Nick with his impression on what working with Kobe is like, along with Jeremy’s own take.
Young on Kobe: "He has no filter. He just talks and talks and talks."
Lin: "That's ironic."
Young: "What?"
Lin: "Nothing. Keep going."

JEREMY DOESN’T BEATBOX NICK:
Young: "Didn't you used to beatbox?"
Lin: "I've never beatboxed in my life."
Young: "Must have been another Lin."

And it wouldn’t be fun times without some good old college bashing.
Jeremy Lin was talking about Harvard. Nick Young said USC is the best school. Lin quipped, "Yeah, I heard they do your homework for you."

Oh yeah, Ellington held his own as well.
Ellington: "I'm engaged."
Young: "You're engaged!"
Ellington: "Yeah, Nick, when are you getting engaged?"
Young: (silence)

But, as is often the case when the cameras come on, the show was Young’s.
Nick Young on the origin of the Swaggy P nickname: "It's biblical. It's in the old testament. The prophet of swag."

Young on Kobe's practice rant: "I went home and my girlfriend was calling me soft like tissue. That kind of stuff hurts me."

Young: "When are you getting engaged Wayne?"
Ellington: "None of your business."
Young: "Cool so no date yet."

Long live Swaggy P and long live the Lin-Young comedic duo.
