That’s Nick Young’s new haircut, which seems to flat. Coach Byron Scott thinks it looks like “a bunch of worms.”

The inspiration for the new look came from either Jamie Foxx in Booty Call, or Kid ‘N Play.

Young obviously cracked wise about Scott’s bald dome when asked to respond to his worm comments (maybe it was an oblique reference to Dennis Rodman?)
3/3: Young's response to Scott's (facetious) criticism of his hair: "He's player hating because he hasn't grown hair since Showtime."

We love how Scott and Young are having so much fun in the media during a season where the Lakers are 36 games behind the Warriors in the West, and a little under 20 games (19.5) back of a playoff berth. On top of their hijinks over Young’s hair, Swaggy P might be done for the year with a slight knee fracture.
If anyone finds a dead body at Staples, that means Kobe’s finally come back.
