NBA player Larry Sanders (shown dunking, above) posted an Instagram photo on Sunday of some fresh ink. It creatively fits on one side of his left hand and features some lovely script letters.
It seems, however, that Sanders and his tattoo artist need to employ a better spell-checker. The tat reads "Recieve," overlooking that ever important i-before-e-except-after-c grammar rule. Here's a look:
In a very predictable development to this story, Instagram commenters immediately (and delightedly) took it upon themselves to point out the error. One user, geoffiethekid, came to Sanders' defense with this bit of reason:
"The "i" before "e" rule is some bs, Larry. Don't let em tell you nothin."
Sanders, as it happens, lists his name on Instagram as "Organized Confusion." Never has that seemed more appropriate.
This is just the latest installment in Sanders' ongoing saga of Internet infamy. In March, he had an awesomely sarcastic reaction after he was ejected from a game. Then there was this time he lost his mind and ran around the court like a madman while trying to singlehandedly fight an entire opposing team.
NBA season can't come soon enough, because Sanders and J.R. Smith are two people all sports fans need more of in their lives.
