Swaggy P took a Swaggy L on Thursday when it was discovered that Kobe Bryant, in classic Mamba style, chucked Nick Young’s adidas shoes in the trash and told him to get a pair of Nikes if he wanted a coveted autograph. Many thought the story was fabricated based on loose events of all the energy going on during Mamba Day post-game, but you can hear what happened directly from Young himself in this end-of-season exit interview with the press. Young confirms that Kobe chucked his shoes in the trash, but showed incredible grace by signing a pair of Nikes for him taking a photo with his son. Young, of course, is now an endorsed adidas athlete, but he was one of the most avid users of Nike Kobes during his sneaker “free agency”. Check out the video below and fast forward to the 3:45 mark to hear Young speak.
