Nicknames have to be earned.

At least that's how new Los Angeles Lakers guard Jeremy Lin feels.

In an interview with Lakers Nation, Lin says Nick Young needs to "earn" the "Swaggy" moniker.

"He's super cool, but I just find it ridiculous that everyone comes in and just calls him 'Swaggy.' It's like, you've got to earn it or something and maybe he has, but you know, I just got here."
