This isn’t a news flash, but athletes (particularly basketball players it seems) are really into tattoos. Look at a typical NBA roster and most of the guys have a bunch of tattoos. I’m not a big fan of tattoos in general, but I’m starting to get excited about the future for those NBA players. Here’s why:
NBA players have always been known to take fashion risks. Think back to the ABA days when Afros and short shorts ruled the court. Not a good look as I’m sure we all agree today, but back in the day those guys had it going on.
Thing is, it’s really easy to buy longer pants and cut an Afro. Not so much with the tattoos. What if Dr. J still had to rock the Fro every single day of his life? Would he still have that big new Dr. Pepper endorsement deal?
