Nick Young is a former NBA player who played for 12 seasons in the league.  Young was drafted in the 2007 draft and he played his college at The University of South Carolina. And once while playing for USC, he stole a couple of items from Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and he claimed that he admitted it to him later.

Young was part of the University of South Carolina squad from 2004 to 2007. He had a good stint in college as he was selected to the Pac-10 First team twice. And he led them to a Sweet Sixteen appearance in the 2007 NCAA tournament. That team is most known for beating the National Player of the Year, Kevin Durant, and the Texas Longhorns in the second round.

And during the same time, Young stole a few items from Kobe Bryant.
