  • Basketball Tattoos

    Basketball and tattoos go together. We have basketball players who are renowned for their tattoos.

    This thread is for two things.

    1. Basketball players with tattoos
    2. Tattoos about basketball

    The inspiration for this thread was the tattoos that Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko revealed that takes up his entire back, it is claimed to be very frightening.



    What do you think of his new tattoo which is creating all this dicussion. A big majority of players have tattoos, but this seems excessive to me.

          Interesting how much money WOW payed to AK47 for this one. I red in Lithuanian press that AK once while played in CSKA played WOW for 36 hours during his day offs. The problem is that Kirilenko joined the Utah Jazz in 2001.

          The game was released on November 23, 2004, on the 10th anniversary of the Warcraft franchise.

              It means "friend".

              Why would WOW pay for a tattoo on the back Speaking of which Yao Ming is also addicted to that game, at least before his marriage.

              Kenyon Martin is the worst not because of that tat on his neck but because of the one on his arm!!!
              From EhloMint: Kenyon, what does that big chinese tattoo on your arm mean?
              Kenyon Martin: Never satisfied.
              In his new book, Rockets center Yao Ming translates the Chinese script tattoos of Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin. "His letters mean, 'Not aggressive' or 'indecisive.' " Yao writes. "Anyone who has seen Kenyon play knows he isn't like that."

                That story is hilarious.

                Martin used to have red lips tattooed on his neck. He apparently had more tattoos put over the red lips as a way to cover it up.

                David Stern Thinks Tattoo Phase Will Pas - January 1, 2011, The Big Lead

                The NBA commish spoke to Jason Whitlock – who really is in love with this NBA this year; he’s written more about two months of hoops than he did the entire college football season – and we found this response to question about tattoos very father-like. “It used to be afros and earrings and a whole lot of other things that were just expressions were viewed as something that was not desirable. And we stood back and said, ‘Come on, let’s relax.’ So you and your anti-tattoo thing, I say, relax, this too shall pass.” I’d like to hear reaction from Birdman Anderson or DeShawn Stevenson.
                "I really like the attitudes of eagles. They never give up. When they grab a fish or something else, they never let it go. It doesn't matter. In a book, they write they find a skeleton of [an] eagle and there is no fish. It means that the fish beat him and killed him, but he didn't let go." -- Donatas Motiejunas

                    Apparently Jason Terry got a tattoo of the championship trophy before the beginning of this season
                    I guess he's playing his a$$ off so he doesn't look like a schmuck if he never wins that championship

                          Fairly close, literally "Demon, Bird, Camphor Tree"



                          If you are really interested in the details, the reasoning here is these three characters CAN BE pronounced by Japanese people as "Mo-tori-kusu" (Japanese way of pronouncing "Ma-tri-x"). Bue the Japanese also do not use the Chinese characters 魔鳥樟 for the word "matrix", they use the kana writing マトリックス (motorikusu). If anything, the meaning of 魔鳥樟 is the same in Japanese as in Chinese, they are Chinese characters after all.

                          The lesson here, if you want ink in Chinese characters, don't go to a Japanese tattoo artist

                              The same is true in Arabic. People get great Arabic calligraphy tattoos on basis that its beautiful, and it is... but they get tattoos written in reverse as the tattoo artist possibly ignores that Arabic is written from right to left.

                              So are getting these "wrong" left to right Arabic tattoos which is laughingly incorrect. And the problem is its permenant and very difficult to change later on.

                              So if you want an Arabic calligraphy as tattoo, go to someone who knows Arabic not to a general tattoo artist...
