VIDEO: Swaggy P ejected after shoving Pistons' Tolliver

Nick Young has not had a good start to the 2015-16 season.
The 30-year-old guard - who boldly nicknamed himself "Swaggy P" - lost his cool Sunday night in a loss to the Detroit Pistons.
As Young gathered for a fastbreak dunk, Anthony Tolliver met him at the rim for what seemed like a routine attempt at a block.
Young - void of swag entirely - responded with a forearm Tolliver's face.

He was assessed a flagrant 2, and was ejected from the game.
Averaging only 9.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in 19.8 minutes in 17 games, the struggling Young showed remorse for his actions after the fact.
