Nick Young says Kanye West's 'Facts' will inspire Lakers to beat Warriors image

Lakers guard Nick Young got a shout out from Kanye West on the rap artists's latest song, "Facts," and he couldn't be more excited.

When asked Sunday night how the Lakers, currently on a three-game winning streak, will prepare for the two-loss Warriors Tuesday night, the man known as Swaggy P responded in the only way he knows how.

"We just going to listen to some 'Facts' — you know, by Yeezus" he said after the game. "He jumped over Jumpman."

Young added that Kanye's song has become the Lakers' anthem recently, and may have been a spark for the Los Angeles team. During the whole exchange he was smiling and joking around, and it's clear he can't get over the shout out.

For reference, here's what Kanye said in his Nike diss track:

Tell Adidas that we need a million in production
I done told y’all, all I needed was the infrastructure
Now we hottest in the streets, it ain’t no discussion
James Harden, Swaggy P runnin’ up the budget

Young went 1 for 7 Sunday's win over Phoenix.
