My worst fear is Jalen Green turning into J.R. Smith 2.0

    Or they just like how they look. WTF is going on in here? Did somebody really just "Y'all need Jesus" almost all of society?

    The ink aesthetic just never drew me in, any of them. I think humans just like having any sense of control. And tattoos are about having a "significant say". Its part why more women then men get then now, because it appeals to independence and empowerment.

    Ironically, the one benefit I can think of is actually a big concern - The "Grandparent in tats" gripe. I think they can can be a reminder of the younger person you were. So you dont grow too stale in older age. So its a bit of preservative how its meant to be. (I dont think full body ink represents that, but at least can try not to judge too harsh). But as long as Green scores on high efficiency, thats what counts

    I hate the low class base level idiot country bumkin members of the Houston fan base sometimes. You might as well just say black people with tatoos scare you.

    Not a fan of tattoos myself although I'm not opposed to anybody enjoying inking their body. That being said, what will you do if JG decides to go full body tats, neck and everything?

    lebron, kobe and lillard yes they all had tattoos but they also werent ratings draws... lebron only drew high tv ratings when going up againist harden, and curry..

    having that many tattoos can affect marketing deals.

    Shitposting for attention is not a valid alternative to therapy.

    I fear Green will be a bust and will be on 5 teams over next 5 years and be completely forgotten like so many hyped up players before him.

    I bet OP didn’t like Olajuwon because he wasn’t a good Christian either.

    I’ll still support him tremendously.

    I’d think it looks ugly while I watch the games though.

    If this happens, oh well. We can still trade him for a nice package to New York and enjoy our lives.

    we already got one dumbass houston team that wants to build a team based on good christian values, we don't need another using that as a criteria. Man could have his whole body cover with profanity and i would still b okay with it as long as he could hoop.

    If a stripper doesn't want to strip for you, you're probably a b**** ass. No offense.

    The entire point if the argument is that almost nobody has a profane tattoo in the NBA. That's because people that tattoo stupid **** on their bodies generally don't succeed in life. You can call it racist if you want, but the statistics are very real, and have nothing to do with race.

    Did he get tattoos since summer league because I don’t remember them at all? Also don’t care if he tats everything up as long as he can hoop.

    both black, have tattoos, and their names begin with J…in OP’s feeble, juvenile mind, that’s enough to make a comparison
