Ball Don't Lie - NBA

Chris Andersen(notes) has already had a pretty busy summer and it's barely July. As you probably remember, he got an enormous neck tattoo that must have taken at least a few hours in the artist's chair. Now that he's had what is probably the last remaining spot on the front of his body tatted up, he can focus on more important things. Super necessary things like judging model competitions with a bunch of MMA guys, like he did this past weekend. Oh, and also debuting yet another tattoo in a place that usually doesn't have tattoos — inside his fingers and on every knuckle.

Yep, that's a mustache finger tattoo, which is basically the best tattoo you can get. It's essentially facial hair insurance, just in case you forget to grow a mustache and are in danger of being ostracized from the local VFW. I particularly like that the tattoo stretches on to two fingers, ensuring that the 'stache is adequately burly. Good planning.

Plus, Birdman got his "Free Bird" neck piece filled in with a gradient straight off a Squirt bottle. Like I said, he's been busy.

Now that his whole neck and hands are covered in ink, all he's got left to cover is his face. He's got a solid three months to waste before next season, so don't be surprised if that's taken care of pretty soon.

    I would just like to say that my friends invented the fingerstache tattoo ages ago....they are only cool if you draw them on your fingers with a magic marker and don't act like an idiot. I'm sad to say that they have apparently become blase.

    It's a humorous tattoo. It's his body. I don't know why you people give a f***, obviously Chris Andersen stopped caring about what he looked like about 2,000 hours of tattooing ago.

    Kadir, you're probably a "typical hairy smelly desert-dwelling dirtbag" huh? Hahahaha. You foreign pieces of camel dung are hilarious. You talk all this junk then go home and bully your women. Hilarious. Tell you what, buy some clippers, trim that damn outrageous body hair you have, wear some deodorant, and stop with the fake machismo...because we all know you guys are little cowards. You kebab-eating ham hock. Lol.
