We all have our idols, and apparently Kevin Durant's is Rick James.
Durant's summer of ink continued when he got an enormous thigh tattoo of the funk star, complete with signature braids and oversized sunglasses.
The tattoo was done by Steve Wiebe, a popular artist among athletes and celebs. Wiebe's known for his black-and-grey photorealism and does particularly intricate tattoos of faces.
Word of the Rick James tribute reached James's son, who joked, "You gotta get permission big boy!" to Durant.
"I appreciate you showing my pops love," he added.
