Considering he has an absolute zero percent chance at making the United State’s National Team, Lakers wing Nick Young, who’s engaged to Australian rapper Iggy Azaela, sent a series of tweets about wanting to play for the Australian National Team.

Now enter Andrew Bogut, who I can’t tell if he has a great sense of humor, or if he’s serious.

Apparently this may not be a joke, however. From TMZ.
“We spoke with a top official for Basketball Australia who tells us, “Nick’s representatives have been in contact with an ‘official inquiry.’ The official told us Nick would have to become an Australian citizen to be eligible for the team and the process was thoroughly explained to Young’s camp. For the record, it’s not an easy process according to the official, Young would have to start by living in Australia for “an extended period of time.”
