Several former professional athletes have taken the stage on the popular TV show "Lip Sync Battle." However, no active pros have grabbed the mic on LL Cool J's musical competition to date.
Enter Nick Young, aka. Swaggy P.
In the episode - set to air on August 13 - the Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard goes head-to-head with his fiancee, pop star Iggy Azalea, with a rendition of Whitesnake's classic rock song "Here I Go Again."
In the video clip above, Young appears to struggle with the lyrics of his chosen tune. Nevertheless, he compensates for this with an assortment of rock-inspired foot stomping, shirt flings, and knee slides.
Never a dull moment when Swaggy's involved.
