Nick Young dishes on almost being killed by a dolphin

The Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Nick Young is terrified of dolphins. Let’s just say the two won’t be meeting anytime soon.

Not everyone in the world is a big fan of dolphins, and we’re not talking about the football team in Miami.

In fact, Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Nick Young is terrified of them, and he should be because one of them tried to take his life by drowning him in the sea.

During a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with his girlfriend, Grand Hustle rapper Iggy Azlaea, Young was the victim of a premeditate murder attempt by one of the sea’s most (allegdly) friendliest creatures. As everyone took a chance to ride the dolphin, Young expierence a different tale.

In an interview with Baxter Holems of ESPNLosAngeles.com, Nick Young said this:

"“He was playing with everybody else, doing what dolphins do — the ‘ack ack’ and all that. It was my time to ride the dolphin. For some reason, he took me all the way to the bottom. He was trying to drown me. But I saw it happening so I jumped out of the water and took off the little life vest and threw off my little water shoes and stayed outside.”"

For the rest of his companions, most specifically his girlfriend, the dolphin was entertaining and charming. The dolphin swam in circles and gave everyone a memorable experience they are going to remember. For Young, he got to experience a tale of jealously from an animal who doesn’t have legs.

Young, went on further and said this:

"“He went straight down. “He was trying to kill me. I think he was trying to get on Iggy. He was a little friendly, kissing her and stuff. He was trying to take my woman.”"

It might be safe to say that Young is going to have his hands full with his girlfriend, Azalea, instead of worrying about sea animals in the distant future. Rightfully so, Azalea is going to keep him preoccupied with her, and he won’t have to ever deal with dolphins again in his life.

Thankfully that situation didn’t end up anywhere near as terrible as it could have.

Words to the wise, be prepared swimming with dolphins.
