I Love The Indiana Pacers!
Warning: You might want to wear some Ronco BBQ gloves for this one, kids. Yeah, she’s pretty piping-hot off the presses…
Straight from ESPN’s Indiana Pacers’ Special Preview comes this fascinating find:
What would it take for you to get a tattoo of the Pacers’ logo on your chest?
The Indiana Pacers are by no means “my team,” but what can I say; I’m a sucker for fresh logo ink. (I have matching raptor and grizzly bear tats on my quads!)
So if a bizarro Rick Carlisle gets small-ball to work — with JO, Harrington, Granger, and whatever backcourt results after the legal system has its way — the Pacers will run the baffled opposition out of the gym. I’ll get a large “P” permanently etched on my chest. Well, that, or they could just get me some free “dances” at Indianapolis’ finest “gentlemen’s club”. Either/or really …

Um, yeah… don’t look at me. I have no idea how it got there either…
(Many, many thanks to Henry at TrueHoop and Royce “Da How’Tall” Webb at ESPN for quite possibly scarring my pasty-white chest for life. Hey, I’m a man of my words…)

Comments (7)Robert Swift’s Muscles And Tats
Until Antoine Walker ever stops shimmying long enough for his tattoo artist to finally finish that Steve-O-like self-portrait he’s getting done on his back, it looks as though Sonics center — and rebel soul child — Robert Swift will walk away with this season’s best off-season tattoo.
Percy Allen from The Seattle Times reports:
This summer was a period of reflection. He grew his hair out “just because I wanted a change” and returned home where he added four new tattoos.
“Every one tells some type of a story,” Swift said. “I don’t look at them as making me any tougher or mature or anything like that. They just explain me without me ever having to say a word.”
He’s particularly fond of a couple of new tattoos on his arms that read: “Anything Is Possible” and “Just Believe.”
Now I’m no expert with “the ink”, but I imagine Swift’s smooth, pasty-white skin must be every tattooists’ dream canvas, no?

[Update: I just noticed Lang at SLAM! caught this earlier. Here’s his take.]
