“The Thaddiator!”
Best Item of the Day
Brooklyn Nets – Thaddeus Young Bobblehead
Thaddeus Young gest his own bobblehead this season. The “Thaddiator” bobblehead of Young dressed up as a gladiator will be given away at tonight’s game against the Celtics. This is the first season that the Nets have given away bobbleheads since they moved to Brooklyn three years ago. Between this one and the Jedi Brook Lopez from earlier this season; they’re putting out some awesome bobbles that we love!
Though Young may not have been quite as excited as Lopez was – frankly, that’s setting the bar too high – he was happy with how it turned out. “They asked me about mine,” he said. “They did the little ‘Thaddiator.’ … I thought it was funny when they first sent me the picture.”
Young wasn’t included in the design process, but he assumed the design came from a Photoshopped Instagram post the team account put up of him back in March, a few weeks after he’d been acquired in trade with the Timberwolves for Kevin Garnett. Young – who joked that he’s a fan of “Gladiator” and “300” – was happy with the outcome.
“They put my head on a gladiator on Instagram, and they kind of just ran with it,” Young said, though the team said it simply came from a common nickname. “My first actual text message I sent back was ‘Laughing out loud.’ [Then] I said, ‘That’s cool. I’m good with that.’”
