During the Spurs final scrimmage game, I saw T.J. McConnell driving to the basket and I had to ask myself, “what did he get tattooed on his left shoulder?”
At first I thought it was a pattern like a leopard, or a cheetah, or a jaguar. I mean, it wouldn’t be the strangest choice of body ink.
And then a moment later, I noticed that Doug McDermott had the same relative pattern.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for team camaraderie, but matching ink blot tattoos?
Then Bill Land mentioned that the Pacers players had been involved in cupping, a form of alternative medicine where special cups are placed on the skin for a few minutes to create suction.
