Lakers Star Nick Young Punk'd By Internet Hoax: Real Life Purge Scare Caused Twitter Reaction

Lakers Star Nick Young wasn't playing around when he got on Twitter to voice his reaction to the possibility of a real life Purge type scenario. Unaware that the internet scare was a hoax, Young tweeted about it with guns blazing. After realizing he had been Punk'd (that's not trademarked, is it?) Young held his ground. He said he was gonna be ready if something like that ever did happen.

Last week Nick Young said if a real life Purge was going down, he was gonna have to shoot somebody (via TMZ):

"But Young didn't know it was a joke on Tuesday -- and tweeted as if it were real ... saying, 'So they got a real life purge in Chi-town and Milwaukee that's crazy. We need to wake up for real if that's true.'"

Granted, the pictures did look pretty scary (via Bleacher Report):

"The following pictures surfaced on the Internet of a supposed real-life purge coming to some major cities around the United States.

"After seeing the pictures, Swaggy P took to Twitter to express his concern."

Young might seem silly, but hey, at least he had a plan.
