Swaggy P blames hackers for old anti-Warriors tweets
Nick Young is changing his tune now that he's on the Golden State Warriors.
Young, the latest shooter to join the reigning champs, faced questions about his anti-Warriors tweets from 13 months ago, and he came prepared. Swaggy P fell back on the classic "hacked" defense used by just about every NBA player that has ever published a regrettable tweet.
"I was hacked," Young told Marcus Thompson of the San Jose Mercury News. "Hacking is a real thing. Those weren't my fingers on the phone."
Young hit upon a sensitive spot for the Warriors fanbase, as he knocked them for being bandwagon fans attracted only to their overwhelming success in recent seasons.

Young was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers when he published those tweets. A year later, he hopped on the bandwagon by joining the Warriors on a below-market deal for a shot at the ring.
