Anthony Davis saw his offseason begin a lot sooner than he’d have liked, as the Los Angeles Lakers lost in the first round to the Denver Nuggets in five games. It seems one of the first things the nine-time All-Star has done since his season ended, was get a new back tattoo.
It was quite a detailed one, with images of a younger Davis when he was with Kentucky to go with the 2012 NCAA title and the Larry O’Brien trophy he won with the Lakers. The phrase “started with a dream” is written on top as well. NBA fans had some interesting reactions to Davis getting this tattoo.
One joked that Davis is now out till October due to back inflammation.
A fan liked the tattoo.
One wanted Davis to work on his game instead of wasting time getting tattoos.
A fan ruthlessly asked if Davis had to leave in a wheelchair afterward.
One said this was better than LaMelo Ball’s tattoo.
I think that’s a fairly good tattoo for Davis and it’s certainly better than LaMelo’s. I also think fans are being a bit too harsh on him for taking a bit of a break here following a long and hard season. He has more than earned some time off.
This is not the first tattoo Davis has gotten. Shortly after Kobe Bryant’s tragic passing in a helicopter crash, he got one on his thigh to honor the Lakers icon.
