What Would NBA Legends Look Like w/ Tattoos?

Michael Jordan
In today's NBA, it's harder to spot a player without tattoos than with. Almost every player looks like they've been in prison at some point or were a member of a biker gang. 

If you look back 15-20 years, Dennis Rodman seemed to be the only one in the League who was covered in ink and for that (and many other reasons) he was considered an outcast. This got us thinking, since tattoos are so mainstream now, what would NBA Legends look like if they played in today's tattoo era?

Here are a couple ideas:

Magic Johnson


Larry Bird






Bill Russell & Wilt Chamberlain

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

John Stockton

And on the flip side, what would LeBron look like without tattoos?

    Bird looks like the Bird-man.
    And LBJ looks more clean-cut. Like I'd hate him less.

    ALL of the facial expressions seem to have added ATTITUDE when the tatts are put on. Interesting.

    The Legends could have tatted their legs too with those shorts...
