Better hurry and get your new tattoos, the NBA season is just around the corner


NBA camps around the league start today and tomorrow. You can read a dozen various interviews for the leagues stars all hopeful about their teams chances. Dirk feels confident this is the year, Shaq is ready for his team to see the trophy again. Tim Duncan expects another championship, Lebron expects his first, the Suns think they're the team and with the Celtics off-season moves they are primed to contend. Some players spent their time off working out, getting in better shape for the upcoming season. Some probably did some endorsement spots with their time off. Other competed internationally representing their various countries. But there is a good bet that many found time to get a new tattoo over this off-season.

Take Stephen Jackson for example. He showed up to training camp and promptly showed off. His obviously proud of his new tatt which covers most of his chest. Its has a church window as the background, two praying hands are inked on his sternum -- and they're holding a gun. Well done Stephen Jackson, bravo to you. There's nothing better than an image that says "My trust is in God but the gun is my savior." The tattoo is only more ironic given Jackson's past involvement in the violent actions of the Pistons-Pacers brawl a few years ago and his more recent arrest, along with former teammate Marquis Daniels, for firing a handgun outside of a bar to break up a bar fight. The new tatt should go a long way prove to his teammates and fans that his past transgressions are behind him.
