Nick Young is a professional basketball player known as much for his self-professed swagger as his basketball, and this was Rule No. 1 of swagdom.

No tats on the right arm Strictly for buckets — Nick Young (@NickSwagyPYoung) August 15, 2014

So, seeing this tweet cross my timeline was shocking news, to be honest.

Guys, I still can't believe Nick Young got a tattoo on his right arm that is strictly for buckets. — Amara Baptist (@ABaptist27) August 3, 2015

I did a little research and it's true. The proof is right there on the Drew League Instagram account. Nick Young's right arm: No longer strictly for buckets.

Check Nick Young's IG, too. The Los Angeles native got Tupac tatted on his right forearm.

There are two potential outcomes here. Perhaps Nick Young, his right arm no longer strictly for buckets, never makes another shot again. Or maybe, freed from being *strictly* for buckets, Nick becomes a world-class cellist. An Olympic fencer! A surgeon!

Time will tell.
