Nick Young Ends His Michael Jordan Boycott

December 24, 2011 by Larry Brown • Comments

Nick Young is a fickle man. The Wizards guard has ended his boycott of the Michael Jordan shoe/clothing brand that started less than two months ago.

Young was upset with Jordan’s hard-line stance against the players during the lockout and declared he was boycotting Jumpman. That came to an end with the release of the Air Jordan 11s that caused a frenzy among shoppers.

“Those were some of my favorites,” Young said of the Jordan shoes. “I might have to give Jordan a call and apologize. I didn’t know those came out. Those were my favorites.”

“Protest is over. I’m sorry Michael,” Young told Wizards Insider.

Clearly you can see that Young is a man of principle. It’s likely he denounced Jordan because he was hurt during the lockout; he considers Mike his hero. I just hope he wasn’t one of the crazy people causing stampedes at the mall in search of the sneakers.
