Ohhhh this is just terrible for Kevin Durant! How does this happen?! You mean no one double and triple checked all the words before tatting him up?! SMH. Someone is getting fired today!

Via Deadspin:
Kevin Durant posted a picture of a the finished product to his Instagram page. Impressive! But, um, that’s not how you spell “mature.”
As friend of Deadspin Sarah Kogod points out, it sure looks like the “t” and the “u” are transposed in what is supposed to be “mature” at the start of the last visible line of the Bible verse adorning Durant’s back, instead spelling “mautre.” That’s just…oof.
For the record, here’s what the verse, from James 1:2-4, is supposed to say:
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.

UPDATE:
Kevin Durant is paying attention to what fans are saying! Lol.
Either he somehow got the tat fixed OR the picture just wasn’t clear enough and it was spelled right. He shared an updated/close up pic of the tattoo showing the word “mature” and it is now spelled correct…but didn’t clarify how!
If you look at the word closely, it looks like he had it corrected – there is a white burn in the spot where the upper part of the t used to be…and they did a pretty amazing job!
