Nick Young has fallen out of favor with fans of the Los Angeles Lakers after two seasons shooting less than 40 percent from the field, but no one deserves to have a misspelled tattoo.
On that front, Young was lucky his fiancee, rapper Iggy Azalea, was looking out for his best interests before he made a mistake with his latest back ink that would have been hard to come back from. Let her explain:
Guys, I wanna let you know. Nick cant spell and if it wasnt for the LOVE i have for him. He would have "BORN REBLE" tatted across his back

Oh?
I came in half way thru his tattoo and noticed "BORN REBEL" looked different to the way i remember it.

I will tweet the picture of his tattoo when i land. He really is lucky i mentioned it to him, I was gonna be petty and not say.

It's like they always say, "true love is having the courage to tell someone they are about to misspell a permanent back tattoo." Or something like that. Although maybe Young was just rebelling against the confines of correct spelling. Ultimate "reble" move.
And Swaggy, you have to work on your spelling before you submit your job application to coach the Lakers next season.
