We’re sure that somewhere during his time learning the game of basketball, Nick Young was taught how to pass. But there was a problem with this: Nick Young is not a passer. Instead, he is a scorer, capable of getting buckets in a number of ways when he is at his best. In fact, Young only averages slightly over 1.0 assists per game over the course of his NBA career.
So you can imagine that watching two teams in the Finals that are so good at ball movement goes against the way that Young approaches the game. The Cavaliers and the Warriors are two of the best teams in the league, and both sides boast some of the best passers that the game has right now in guys like LeBron James, Draymond Green, Stephen Curry, Shaun Livingston, and Kyrie Irving.
Game 4 of the Finals has really highlighted this reality. Both Cleveland and Golden State have been moving the ball around really well, and quite frankly, Swaggy P is on the verge of being fed up with all of this passing nonsense.
All this passing getting me mad

This must have drawn the ire of a number of Warriors fans, who Young decided to call out for not understanding basketball.
I hate 2016 GS fans … They dnt know nothing about basketball

Anyone who has ever watched Nick Young play basketball knows that he is fearless. As it turns out, that fearlessness also manifests itself on his Twitter account.
