Larry Sanders had been having a nice offseason, inking a four-year, $44 million contract with the Milwaukee Bucks after finishing the 2012-2013 season as the NBA's third-leading shot blocker.
His offseason got a little bit worse though, after he got a brand new tattoo on his hand. Sanders uploaded a photo of his new ink, on his hand, of the word "Receive." Only problem is that the tat reads "Recieve," something his Instagram followers pointed out to him rather quickly.
He followed up his tattoo fail with a photo of him standing outside with a carefree expression on his face, captioned by the phrase "Ummmmmmmmm...ain't worried bout nuthin'."
Nor should Sanders be worried about anything. He's not the first NBA star to have a tattoo mishap; Kevin Durant had a tattoo fiasco involving an apparently misspelled word on a large piece of body art on his back, and he's doing just fine as the consensus second-best player in the NBA behind LeBron James, and biggest client on Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports roster.
Sanders played in 71 games last season, scoring 9.8 points per game, while grabbing 9.5 rebounds and handing out a little more than one assist a night. His major contribution was as an intimidator in the middle, however.
Sanders stands six feet, 11 inches and weighs 235 lbs., and racked up 201 blocked shots last season, an average of 2.8 per game. While his total number placed him third in the league behind Serge Ibaka of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Roy Hibbert of the Indiana Pacers, Sanders ranked second in the per game category. His 7.6 block percentage was best in the league.
Sanders was also a top-20 player in offensive and defensive rebounding percentage, while ranking 12th in the NBA in rebounds per game.
