Nick Young Got Robbed?

Los Angeles Lakers, Nick Young lost close to $100,000 in clothing, shoes, jewelry and luggage that was stolen from his Los Angeles area home while he was playing in a game at Staples Center.Young said he returned to his Sherman Oaks house after the Lakers' 103-94 win Sunday over the Orlando Magic to find an upstairs window broken."I came in, I seen my drawers and everything open and clothes all over the floor and the glass was broken from the window," Young said after Lakers practice Monday.The 28-year-old said he called police and checked into a hotel after discovering the robbery."I didn't feel safe no more," which is ashame because he lives in a very nice house, and the fact that someone took his things from him is rediculous. Young lost one of his favorite sneakers, the Nike Air Yeezy 2 sneakers he wore to a game last week and showed off for TV cameras, telling reporters that they go for as much as $6,000 on the open market which was probably one of the main reasons someone broke into his house. Young is known as "Swaggy P." Young said he called police around 2 a.m. and officers did not respond to the scene until between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. "I was just happy no one was in the house when they was breaking in," Young said. "It could have made it a lot worse." Former NBA players Eddy Curry and Antoine Walker weren't so lucky, as they were in their homes when burglars arrived and held them up at gunpoint in separate 2007 incidents."I'm just glad that I didn't have to be in that situation, really," Young said. "I don't know what I would have did. I was just shocked they tried to get Swaggy yesterday."Young said he would take precautions moving forward."I'm going to have to get a guard dog or something," Young said with a laugh. Nick Young is lucky for being alone today even though he has lost his favorite pair of sneakers, at least he still has his life.
