We might just resort to a “Quote of the Day” post from Nick Young going forward – especially if his swag keeps rubbing off on the Los Angeles Lakers. After helping his team to a road win against the Dwight Howard-less Houston Rockets last night, Young clarified the definition of “swag” by evoking a pair of pop music legends.
The definition of "swag," according to @NickSwagyPYoung: "I leave a presence. I'm like Michael Jackson, Prince, all those other guys."

Sounds about right:
Don’t look now, but the Lakers are 2-0 with Young in the lineup. All Kobe Bryant and company needed to turn their season around, apparently, was a little swag. And if Los Angeles can keep this up, purple-and-gold clad fans everywhere will surely be partying like it’s – you guessed it – “1999.”
