It’s turning out to be a pretty rough day for Los Angeles Lakers head coach Byron Scott.
Not only is he being criticized for suggesting that Kobe Bryant belongs with Stephen Curry, James Harden and LeBron James in the NBA MVP discussion (what was he thinking?!), but he’s also under fire from Nick Young.
Swaggy P and Scott have butted heads for much of the season and with just a few games left, it seems as if if Nick Young’s frustrations are starting to come out.
The guard, who has never seen a shot he didn’t like, was asked about Byron Scott’s criticism this season and suggested the Lakers coach doesn’t really help him.
“I’m used to it right now, hearing what Byron has to say,” said Young, who is in the first season of a four-year deal worth $21.5 million “I take it with a grain of salt.”
Does Young take Scott’s words as valuable feedback?
“Nah,” Young said. “I don’t know. I feel like it’s just a target toward me. It’s a little unfair. But it’s cool.”
For once, there’s Lakers drama and it ironically enough doesn’t involve something Kobe Bryant said or did.
No wonder the Lakers have slashed ticket prices since nobody wants to watch the garbage they’ve put on the basketball court.
