Kevon Looney: "Having Nick Young as a cousin has been awesome. I got to win a championship with him in Golden State. When I was a kid, he used to send me a bunch of shoes and clothes, so I used to be the freshest kid in high school and middle school because of Nick. Shout out to cuz, he made sure I always was good and being able to share the court with him was always great."
Nick Young: "Steph and Kevin Durant was fighting over Finals MVP, that's about it. You could tell they both was trying to get it without saying they trying to get it. Kevin Durant was taking it a little easy, I felt like, and Steph wasn't having that good of a game that game. So Kevin Durant just had to turn it up. And I think that's when he won Finals MVP too, after that game. It was a big night for him."

Nick Young: "Steph is like the good cop to Draymond's bad cop. You got to have that kind of balance. Being Draymond's being Draymond, Steph will pull you to the side and be like, 'Don't worry about that, just continue to play, things going to work out.' So he's a good dude. And KD, he don't really he's not really the leader type like the captain type. He leads by just being on the floor, but he's not really too vocal unless he kind of know you."
Nick Young on JR Smith in Game 1: "At the moment I didn't feel bad for him, I was wondering what was he doing? What is he doing? LeBron had 40 something, almost 50. He was cooking. And that was the main thing we was worried about. At the free throw line we thought, 'Oh man, it's over, we let one slip out.' And then when J.R. did that, it gave us hope again."
Nick Young on Bam Adebayo breaking Kobe Bryant's record against Wizards: F*CK BAM AND THE WIZARDS! F*ck all that sh*t, records are supposed to be broken, hell naw!… Bam nice but he not 83 nice. Kobe probably rolling over in his grave right now like ‘YOU?’ F*ck that! You see how he was going for it at 74? That was nasty! If I had 81 I would’ve stopped
Speaking on Gilbert Arenas’ “The Arena” podcast, Young lent his insight into Green and Kerr’s relationship, and why their clash Monday night isn’t the same as past quarrels. “[Green and Kerr] always fight,” Young said. “They got into a big fight in [Oklahoma City] where we had to pull Draymond back, pull Steve Kerr back. But this time it’s different because they’re not the same championship team.”

“Everything going on with Steve Kerr, [his situation with Jonathan] Kuminga…it’s a lot over there,” Young said. “I just don’t know where they’re at this year. They feel like they just need to blow everything up at this point. This ain’t the first [instance] of them fighting. OKC was probably the worst thing I’ve ever seen between a player [and] coach. They both [were] holding each other back and cussing…it was a lot. It was a lot.”
Draymond Green wants to make it clear that Nick Young was a key contributor during the Warriors' title run that year. In Friday's episode of "The Draymond Green Show," the Golden State forward issued a rebuttal to clips he's seen featuring former NBA players Kenyon Martin and Rashad McCants, during which they antagonize Young. Green already had responded to Martin's shots directed at Green himself earlier in the same podcast. "But one thing I want to share with Kenyon Martin and Rashad McCants," Green explained, "you know, a couple of guys who try to attack Nick Young about his NBA championship, is this. I know you guys don't understand what it means to win an NBA championship. And because of that, you guys attack Nick Young because y'all don't know what it takes. So, I'm going to share with you all non-champions what it takes to win an NBA championship."
"And so when you go look at our championship run that Nick Young was a part of, Nick Young was the swing player in the Houston series," Green said. "In Games 6 and 7, Nick Young was one of the primary defenders on James Harden. Nick Young hit big threes. He swung the series for us. Guess what? Job done. When you talk about winning a championship, he swung the series. That's his job as a role player to swing one series. He did that.”
Nick Young’s message to Patrick Beverley: I’m back to the Swaggy now. Anytime you want to play me, I'm here, baby. You think I would let a player like that look like you beat a player that look like me? Come on, baby. We out here 7 days a week. Me anytime, any place. Come to LA next week, too, if you want to play. We can play whenever you want. Peace.
