News spread on Wednesday (Jul. 5) that Los Angeles Lakers star Nick “Swaggy P” Young would be taking his talents to the reigning NBA Champion team, the Golden State Warriors. Young signed a one-year deal worth $5.2 million.
Many rejoiced and even more took to the meme approach to react. However, some of the Internet’s super sleuths took to Twitter to remind users that Young bashed Warriors fans on the social media site just last year.
“I hate 2016 GS fans … They dnt know nothing about basketball,” the shooting guard tweeted last June during Game 4 of the 2016 NBA Finals. He also wrote that the passionate fans were riding the “bandwagon.”

Nick Young just signed with the Warriors. Well that makes this tweet from last year awkward. pic.twitter.com/X8tlfpCw3L

Dear @Warriors fans,
This tweet is allegedly from Nick Young, not D’Angelo Russell, in any way whatsoever.
