Nick Young says Kobe Bryant inspired him to tie season-high in assists -- with 3

Young says he was inspired by Kobe 17 assists to tie his season high w/ 3 tonight. "I just want to get a double-double one day in my career"

The last time Kobe Bryant took the floor, the 18-year veteran set a new career-high in assists with 17 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Nick Young was apparently taking notes. When the Lakers took the floor without Bryant on Monday night against the Suns, the man affectionately known as Swaggy P tied a career mark for himself when it comes to sharing the ball. He finished with three assists.

It's been the Season of Swaggy for the Lakers, and the hits just keep on coming. Los Angeles might be one of the worst teams in the NBA, but at least Young has been able to keep things entertaining.
