Title: Silly observation: The Mystery of Brandon Bass's Shoulder Tattoos
Post by: AB_Celtic on January 28, 2013, 09:49:43 PM
I saw this picture in another thread...

(http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nba/players/full/2745.png&w=350&h=254)

And I thought, something doesn't look right here. So I Googled "Brandon Bass shoulder tattoos." Here's a result that came up...

Now, I know the above picture doesn't include Bass's head, but here's another where you can somewhat clearly see the "AR" in "FEAR" on his left shoulder...

I honestly don't know which set of tattoos is right, because, frankly, Bass's skin tone makes them hard to see during a game. I'm leaning towards the game action photos, of course, which makes me wonder whose shoulders those are in the first picture?!

I don't know, silly observation of mine, thought I'd share. Perhaps get a few people's minds off RR.

Wondering what the point of doing that is...

Was it when Bass was traded here? They just needed a stock photo quickly? I get that but you'd think they'd fix it after a year.

This is a great observation, TP to the OP... I would have never noticed.

Too bad they couldn't have done this with JLin17 ;D
