Young’s teammates let his newness wear off a bit for bursting his proverbial bubble, and stuffed the new custom car with loads of popcorn Friday.

The playful prank was documented by point guard Jeremy Lin.

“That's high-level popcorn!” Lin said in a video.

Young wasn’t the only rookie on the receiving end of a prank. Omari Spellman’s car was packed to the brim, too.
