Is the NBA the mecca of bad tattoo's?
« on: March 02, 2004, 02:16:29 AM »
A couple of friends and I were talking about how its almost mandatory for you to get a horrible tat on your arm once you signed a contract with a major team.  Then we started to name all the horrible ones we could think of.......starting with

Luke Walton's stick figure re-creation of his brothers
Tracy Mcgrady with a basketball and T-Mac above it
Jason Williams god awfull panther

Feel free to add more you have seen across the league.  Why must guys who make millions each year have to go see some old white hick biker by the name of basher to have him bust out the bic pen and a home made motor to get "inked up" ?

The worse I've seen so far is Kobe's "I'm sorry I got caught" tribute to his wife.
"History shouldn't be a mystery"
"Our story is real history"
"Not his story"

"My people's culture was strong, it was pure"
"And if not for that white greed"
"It would've endured"

"Laker hate causes blindness"

:lol:  Wow!

Marbury's "Coney Island's Finest"

Joel Pryzbilla's "Not in My House!"

Stanley Roberts used to sport "Thug Love"

David Robinson's "Jesus is my Homeboy" on his arm is a bit much.  :unsure:

What better way to make up for a backdoor slam then a tat and a 4 million dollar ring?

Your sack and it's contents in a heart-shapped box ala Mrs. Christie.  :unsure:
