Nick Young was one of the most fun-loving players in the NBA. He played alongside Kobe Bryant with the Los Angeles Lakers and won his first and only NBA Championship playing alongside Steph Curry on the Golden State Warriors.
He knows a thing or two about basketball after playing in the league for twelve seasons alongside many great players. In those seasons he has seen that players need to be fit enough to play, something the late great Kobe Bryant exemplified.
As he keeps tabs on the games happening day in day out, he has seen the Philadelphia 76ers struggle. That is after they spent a lot of money building a dream roster that many considered to be capable of winning an NBA title or two.
He also saw the 76ers loose embarrassingly to his Golden State Warriors. As others have pinpointed the problems surrounding Joel Embiid and the schemes the team employs, the NBA champion pointed out an international problem.
Philly deserves to lose for picking up this big Eddie curry lookin France Ni*** … for sure found him in front of a liquor store … first team brown bag.

Nicknamed ‘Swaggy P’, Nick Young brought up xenophobia when pointing at 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele. He feels the French forward looks like a French version of former NBA star Eddy Curry. That is owing to Yabusele’s build which is similar to the former center.

His X post suggests he feels the Paris Olympics silver medalist is not built to help the Philadelphia 76ers win. However, it could be a hilarious take from Young considering he pokes fun at most things while on Gil’s Arena.
76ers picked up Guerschon Yabusele after stellar Paris Olympics campaign
Joel Embiid played for Team USA at the Paris Olympics after initially suggesting he wanted to represent France. With the Olympics set in the French capital, he saw up close how Guerschon Yabusele was as a player.
The French forward broke the internet when he dunked on Embiid’s teammate LeBron James. On top of that he was arguably the second-best player on the French national team. It is unknown if Embiid rang up Sixers GM Daryl Morey after winning the gold medal.
But if he did, his team managed to land a stellar player for next to nothing. The forward was essentially a free agent as his Real Madrid contract was bought out for nothing. He returned to the NBA five years after his first stint.
Now back in the United States, he is averaging just under 10 points a game. But his statistics do not do justice to his importance to the squad. His on-ball defense and hustle have become an integral part of their game. But apparently Nick Young feels the Eddy Curry lookalike isn’t good enough.
