Nick Young fires back at Robert Flores: ‘We got a problem’

As expected, Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young has come to the defense of his girlfriend, Iggy Azalea, in the wake of an insult that ESPN’s Robert Flores tossed her way on Monday morning.

For those who missed it, Flores said Iggy is “trying to kill hip-hop” during a lighthearted segment on SportsCenter. You can watch the video here. Young did not find it funny, and he stopped just short of threatening Flores in a Twitter rant on Monday afternoon.

@RoFloESPN I'm pretty sure we going to run into each other soon

@RoFloESPN you job is to talk about sports not what me and my chick got going on

@RoFloESPN so off the fact you that was cool to say, don't sit right with me so we got a problem

Flores made the joke after mentioning the story Young told a few weeks ago about a dolphin in Mexico trying to kill him. It’s unclear if the shot at Iggy was something that was written by a SportsCenter producer or a remark that Flores came up with on his own.

If you saw the way Swaggy P jumped in to defend Iggy against Snoop Dogg’s criticism last year, you knew he wasn’t going to sit quietly while Flores ragged on his lady.
