Swaggy P: Listening to Kanye West's 'Facts' will help Lakers beat Warriors
When the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers last met Nov. 24, it was Stephen Curry and company pushing their historic winning streak to 16 in a 111-77 beatdown of their Pacific Division neighbors.
The Lakers - winners of their last three games - will look to exact some semblance of revenge on the reigning NBA champions Tuesday night when they play host to the Warriors at Staples Center.
When asked for his thoughts on taking on the Warriors following Los Angeles' 97-77 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, Lakers guard Nick Young gave yet another classic "Swaggy P" response:
Nick is always going to Nick. Check explanation for how LAL will get ready for GSW: "Yeezus" (via @World_Wide_Wob) pic.twitter.com/Dg7fWYEreR

Young - who scored three points on 1-of-7 shooting in the win over Phoenix - is clearly still riding the high of having his name dropped by Kanye West in his latest Nike diss track "Facts."
Now we hottest in the streets, it ain't no discussion,
James Harden, Swaggy P runnin' up the budget.
The nine-year pro holds West on quite the pedestal, even going as far as saying a shoutout from "The Louis Vuitton Don" would be in the same category as Michael Jordan honoring Kobe Bryant.
Considering the Lakers' recent success, it's only fitting for Young to offer up some of the credit to the 21-time Grammy winner, who seemingly made his dreams come true with one simple verse:
Nick Young credits Lakers going 2-0 partly to Kanye West shouting him out on "Facts." Young: "That's our anthem before the game."
