If you thought Nick Young's game-winning 3-pointer to beat the Spurs on Friday night was crazy, then you haven't seen his post-game interview. He said, "Do What I Gotta Do" eight times in seven sentences before going on an epic post game troll spree! 

Young has been a bench player his entire career, so it's safe to say he isn't the first player you think of when the term "Lakers game-winning shot" comes to mind. They typically have Kobe Bryant for that. 

However, Young probably won't be remembered for that shot. Instead, he will be remembered long after he retires for his post-game interview, an epic, hilarious four-minute bit during which he euphorically celebrates himself, throws friendly shade at Bryant and trolling reporters and the Internet all at once. 

The interview started with maybe the best part -- a two-minute homage to the always classic athlete cliche machine, most recently perfected by Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch

"I just gotta do what I gotta do, and when I gotta do it," Young said. "Basically I'm just doin' what I gotta do, everytime I step on the court and do what I gotta do. You feel me? So I'm basically just doin what I gotta do. When I touch the ball, I just do what I gotta do, that's goin in the huddle, shots go up, I just do it. I can't even think about it. I'm just doin what I gotta do."

That's the word "do" said fourteen times in seven sentences, an astounding feat by any stretch of the imagination. Young didn't deliver the words with disdain like many athletes do. He was having fun the entire time, making fun of the media circus, himself and how ridiculous his shot was at the same time. 

The full interview is posted below, and its incredible. Maybe the most amazing part of the whole thing was how Young didn't stop putting cartoonish personality on stage after the interview was over. Instead, he photoshopped a picture of himself as Michael Jackson and posted it on Instragram, according to Bleacher Report.

So much for that all-Kobe spotlight. A star is born, once again, in Los Angeles.
