If there's one think Nick Young doesn't appreciate, it's another man dissing his girlfriend!

So when ESPN anchor Robert Flores decided to take a jab at Iggy Azalea, the Los Angeles Laker wasn't exactly a happy camper.

It all started during a recent Sportscenter segment when Flores commented on Azalea's recent tweets that revealed her man is "scared of Dolphins."

"According to Lakers Nick Young a dolphin tried to kill him," Flores shared during his report. "So Nick, while dolphins are trying to kill you, your girlfriend is trying to kill hip hop. Let's call it even, okay?" Burn!

To nobody's surprise, Young wasn't feeling the diss...at all.

"I'm pretty sure we going to run into each other soon," he tweeted to the anchor. "You job is to talk about sports, not what me and my chick got going on."

He added, "So off the fact you that was cool to say, don't sit right with me so we got a problem. Since these Sports Channels want to like they BET we shall see."

For the record, Flores has remained quiet on Twitter besides posting a cryptic message that possibly related to the headlines surrounding him.

"Sooo…what's been going on today??" he asked his followers. Guess Young won't be getting an apology just yet.

Perhaps an "I'm sorry" isn't even necessary. Either way, sports reporters may want to think twice before mentioning Young's leading lady.

"It's cool to talk about me all day and day. I find with that," the 29-year-old shooting guard tweeted. "I can take a joke .. That what I do joke, but I didn't see the point of that."

Balls in your court Mr. Flores.
