Nick Young cracks up while talking about burner accounts
Unsurprisingly, Nick Young, one of the goofiest guys on the Warriors, had fun talking about social media burner accounts at NBA Finals media day on Wednesday. Reporters were trying to see if any of the Warriors or Cavaliers would share their thoughts on the absolutely insane Twitter scandal rocking the 76ers right now.
The Ringer dropped a huge story on Tuesday night about their investigation into five anonymous Twitter accounts, and how four of them have criticized the Sixers and specific players, among other things. The report concluded that the accounts are linked to 76ers president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo. Colangelo told USA TODAY Sports he doesn't know anything about the four accounts that have been critical of his franchise.
Young, who has had social media snafusof his own over the years, laughed when asked about giving advice to NBA execs caught with burner accounts. He went on to say, "No comment," before joking that they could just say they were hacked.
Nick Young’s advice for NBA executives who might have their burner accounts caught? “No comment. I got hacked.” Does he have a burner account? “A burner account? Nah. I just like to get hacked a lot.” — Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) May 30, 2018
Young was then asked if he himself has any burner accounts to which he laughed some more and joked, "Nah, I just like to get hacked a lot."

Young happily used the "I was hacked" excuse last year when fans uncovered his old tweets that trash-talked the Warriors shortly after he signed with Golden State.

You can always count on Swaggy P for an entertaining response - well, him and Joel Embiid.
