This is, quite obviously, hilarious, and the word eccentric may not be strong enough for Nick Young. The "Swaggy P" description has taken on a life of its own, especially for a player who has never sniffed All-Star consideration or even been deployed as a no-doubt starter in his career, but Young also may be brilliant.

Regardless of the actual origin of the nickname, breaking out the "biblical" description is sure to interest many fans, and the "prophet of swag" continues to amaze.
