When Jack tossed out the idea for a series on NBA related things we are all thankful for plenty of things popped into my mind. There was the Bucks, the chance to watch greatness in Kevin Durant and LeBron James and the emergence of Anthony Davis. But one thing stood out above everything else. I am thankful for Nick Young.
There are plenty of reasons to be grateful for Nick Young as an NBA fan but they all boil down the same one thing–joy. Everything Young ever seems to do comes back to that simple feeling.
From this wonderful shot:
To the premature celebration against the Knicks, Young always seems to be up to some ridiculous thing on the court to make people smile and laugh.
But it doesn’t stop on the court. Off the floor Young is just as fun, just as goofy and just as welcoming to fans. From his absolutely amazing Instagram to interviews to hanging out with his girlfriend Iggy Azalea at award shows, Young just always seem to be smiling and ready to accept the spotlight.
In a league full of dull and abrasive personalities Nick Young always stands out for good. So this Thanksgiving be sure to count Nick Young among your blessings, all while keeping an eye on what he will do next.
