Lakers' Nick Young Holds Exploding Firework In Video
LOS ANGELES (AP) — It looks like Lakers guard Nick Young hasn't learned much about fireworks safety from New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul.
A Snapchat video of Young holding up a firework in his hand as it explodes was first posted on TMZ Sports. The video was apparently taken at a July Fourth party and Young wasn't injured.
The Lakers referred calls to Young's agent, who did not answer calls for comments.
Pierre-Paul is featured in a public service announcement produced by the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission about fireworks safety released last week. He shows off his mangled right hand in the video. Part of Pierre-Paul's hand had to be amputated last year following a fireworks accident.
