In the upcoming issue of Sports Illustrated, NBA players were interviewed about their Chinese tattoos.
When asked about why tattooing in Chinese, Marcus Camby replied: "I was into a lot of Chinese flicks, a lot of [kung fu] movies."
Jeff McInnis explains: "I got the dictionary and looked mine up. Some people don't know what theirs mean. They just get them because they look good."
What about Shawn Marion?
