Last night, the Lakers held their 11th annual All-Access event at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. As part of it, Nick Young, Jeremy Lin, and Wayne Ellington took part in a panel. And they were, in a word, hilarious together. Specifically, Swaggy P and J-Lin (should that be the name of their inevitable reality TV show?!) kept the conversation lighthearted by taking a series of good-natured shots at one another.

For example, Lin brought up the car that Iggy Azalea bought Young for Christmas:

1.

Jeremy Lin: "I don't have a girlfriend who can but me a car for Christmas. Nick has a different car for every day of the week."

Lin talked some trash about Young's college:

2.

Jeremy Lin was talking about Harvard. Nick Young said USC is the best school. Lin quipped, "Yeah, I heard they do your homework for you."

Lin explained the meaning of "single" to Young:

3.

Lin: "I'm single."
Young: "How are you single?"
Lin: "Because I'm not dating anyone Nick."

Young acted surprised after Lin talked about where he was born:

4.

Lin: "I was born in Torrance."
Young: "Really?"
Lin: "Yes, Nick. We've been through this. I wasn't born on another continent."

And Young said that Kobe Bryant has "no filter" and "just talks and talks and talks," which reminded Lin of someone:

5.

Young on Kobe: "He has no filter. He just talks and talks and talks."
Lin: "That's ironic."
Young: "What?"
Lin: "Nothing. Keep going."

Young and Ellington had a few funny back-and-forths as well. For instance, Ellington mentioned that he's engaged right now, which led to this exchange between the two:

6.

Ellington: "I'm engaged."
Young: "You're engaged!"
Ellington: "Yeah, Nick, when are you getting engaged?"
Young: (silence)

But as you'd expect, Young ultimately stole the show. In addition to bantering with Lin and Ellington, he revealed the origin of his nickname:

7.

Nick Young on the origin of the Swaggy P nickname: "It's biblical. It's in the old testament. The prophet of swag."

He also explained how Iggy called him "soft like tissue" after Kobe called him and his Lakers teammates "soft like Charmin" during a practice last month:

8.

Young on Kobe's practice rant: "I went home and my girlfriend was calling me soft like tissue. That kind of stuff hurts me."

And the night wouldn't have been complete without Lakers head coach Byron Scott doing his best Swaggy P impression:

It looks like it was a great time.

Now seriously, when is somebody going to start filming the Nick Young/Jeremy Lin reality TV show? Maybe something similar to what Swaggy P and JaVale McGee put together for YouTube a few years back? We need that in our lives ASAP.
