Swaggy P blames hackers for old anti-Warriors tweets

Jennifer Stewart-USA TODAY Sports

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.
