Lakers guard Nick Young felt like it was his moment in the final seconds of Tuesday night’s game against the Thunder, so he took matters into his own hands, literally.
With the Lakers trailing 109-108, and roughly 8 seconds remaining, Young jumped in the passing lane to steal a pass intended for teammate Lou Williams, who was likely going to attempt the potential game-winner.
Instead, Swaggy P did it for him and drained a triple to give the Lakers a 111-109 lead (and eventual win).

He also made sure to remind everyone at Staples Center that he has ice water in his veins.

When asked about it after the game, Swaggy didn’t hold back or attempt to lie about stealing the pass intended for Williams. He openly admitted it.
Nick Young openly admitting this wasn't the play and he stole the ball because he just wanted to shoot is amazing. #Crossfire pic.twitter.com/9PMtAKLWiP

It’s a good thing Young made the shot, otherwise he would’ve caught hell for that bold move.
You really never know what Swaggy P will do on the court.
