Nick Young Rumors & News

A woman is suing Nick Young in Los Angeles Superior Court, accusing the Sixers guard of raping her in August 2011. The full report is available at CBS Los Angeles. The unnamed woman claims that she knew Young before meeting him in a West Hollywood nightclub, where, according to the lawsuit, Young approached her and her friend and offered them drinks. The lawsuit goes on to say that Young used the date rape drug GHB on the woman and had sex with her without her consent. There are no criminal charges being filed (yet, and that we're aware of), but the lawsuit seeks financial damages for ...

Nick young (swaggy P) Camp dates. June 17-21 and June 24-28. Camp is at Sierra Canyon school. Go here to sign up cbcwolfpack.com— Nick Young (@NickSwagyPYoung) May 2, 2013 Nick Young is hosting a basketball skills camp this summer. Seriously. From the official Web site: "This CAMP is designed to provide all players an opportunity to demonstrate their talents/skills and learn new concepts while working individually and in team settings." Nothing says "teamwork" like a basketball camp hosted by a man who has a career average of one assist per game. But to be fair, from what I've been ...

Before we tackle the Damien Wilkins Conundrum, let's go to Mo ... for the official results. Previous Toots: Dorell Wright, Thaddeus Young, Evan Turner Previous Boots: Nick Young, Royal Ivey, Lavoy Allen Damien Wilkins squelched the Tanking Movement. He was a wet blanket that smothered our lottery hopes and dreams with the methodical destruction of a pro wrestling squash match. Damien Wilkins was, well, Damien Wilkins, and we Sixers fans were Bob Jones, a 6'2" 245 lb. wrestler with generic black tights and boots who was billed from Des Moines, Iowa. After a soul-crushing 3/4th of...

It was with great sadness that Liberty Ballers' Michael Baumann had his Air Bud moment yesterday, baiting Nick Young with a pudding cup and sending him off to bigger and swaggier things. We laughed, we cried, but mostly we craved a nice chicken caesar salad and got our minds focused on the other so-called members of the 2012-2013 Sixers, today being Dorell Wright. We found Dorell on the doorstep of our fancy blog row home back in July (while also saying goodbye to Edin Bavcic) when he was acquired in a three-team blockbuster trade from Golden State. Dorell was two seasons removed from ...

Who stays? Who goes? The Liberty Ballers staff goes down the roster, one by one, starting with Nick Young and leading all the way up to Arnett Moultrie. "Because you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!" -Revelation 3:16 The Sixers were not only bad last year, but lukewarm, kind of trudging through the slop in what was less a basketball season but a powerful argument for adopting a nihilistic worldview. With one exception. Nick Young led the Sixers in joie de vivre in 2012-13, and no other statistical categories. Young is a luxury on a good te...

"Because you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!" -Revelation 3:16 The Sixers were not only bad last year, but lukewarm, kind of trudging through the slop in what was less a basketball season but a powerful argument for adopting a nihilistic worldview. With one exception. Nick Young led the Sixers in joie de vivre in 2012-13, and no other statistical categories. Young is a luxury on a good team and one of those guys who plays way too many minutes in way too many important situations on a bad one. At his best, he's what one might call a high-v...

It's Always Swaggy in Philadelphia? In speaking to Hoops World, Nick Young expressed his interest in a long-term deal this free agency period around the bend. "I’m just trying to get a long-term contract," Young said. "I’m just going to weigh my options and see what goes on. Free agency is crazy. I’ve been in it the last two years. I’m just hoping for the best." Players want long-term security, so I get it. But MAN I feel bad for Nick Young after the yo-yo routine Doug Collins put him through this season. Nick was Walking The Dog one minute and collecting dust in the basement next...
