Nick "Swaggy P" Young On Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Lakers, Warriors, Dating, Cheating & NBA Today

"Nick 'Swaggy P' Young On Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Lakers, Warriors, Dating, Cheating & NBA Today" is the newest full episode of Club Shay Shay, Shannon Sharpe's weekly interview show. It passed 330,000 views in its first 12 hours. A long episode here usually ends its whole first day with a small fraction of that. The timing makes it stand out more: the channel as a whole has been running at well under half its usual daily pace, even with clips from last week's Skip Bayless reunion still going up.

Young played alongside Kobe Bryant on the Lakers, and that is where the episode spends much of its time. The description promises the story of a game-winning shot Young hit after Kobe called him soft, Kobe's demanding practices, the 60-point farewell game, the rush for his jerseys and the memorabilia Young kept from that last night. He also talks about his final conversations with Kobe at the Mamba Sports Academy, and where he was when he heard of Kobe's death. From there the talk moves to his championship with the Golden State Warriors beside Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green, the D'Angelo Russell episode from their Lakers days, and, by the description's account, LeBron James's move to the Philadelphia 76ers.

The comments read like a group of friends watching together. Many say they started laughing the moment Young appeared, and a running joke has Sharpe topping up his guest's drink whenever the stories get good, with one viewer hoping for another Katt Williams-sized night. Another thread keeps returning to Gilbert Arenas, Young's old Washington teammate: viewers repeat a line about Gil that Young delivers on camera, and some point out that Swaggy P made it onto the show before Gil did.
