Nick Young no longer scared of dolphins

Newly signed Golden State Warriors shooting guard Nick Young overcame his fear of dolphins while vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico this week.

In 2015, Young's then-fiancee Iggy Azalea revealed on Twitter that a dolphin once "tried to kill him" and he was terrified to go near them. Young also spoke about the incident with reporters, saying the dolphin "took him all the way to the bottom" in an attempt to drown him.

Young decided to give dolphins a second chance, though, and shared several photos Wednesday on Instagram of him swimming with them. He even gave one a kiss.
