Thru The Lens: (DAY IN THE LIFE): Episode 04 - Day in the life of Nick Young

This was the first episode ever filmed for Thru The Lens. Cassy Athena follows Nick Young and his assistant, Big Meat, for a day full of laughter, family, friendship and more. Get a more personal experience of hanging out with one of the most loved LA Lakers as we see his morning routine, visit his parents, stop by his former college (USC), and a hilarious bet of whether the In N Out in Hollywood is closer to Highland or LaBrea. This was one of the best times I ever had filming an episode. Enjoy!

[@CassyAthena]
