Expert: Tim Miller Date: 5/7/2003 Subject: Pacers Tattoo Question??? Help
Question Hi There,
I was wondering if you could help me. I'm doing a statistics project and I'm analyzing tattoos in the NBA. I know they have gotten popular over the years & I wanted to find out if you knew how many players on the Pacers roster have tattoos? I'm going nuts trying to find info about it and I hope you can help. I got the idea from a MTV show aout tattoos and they talked to the "Stat Guy" but I forgot his name and the book they cited (do you know who that is?) and it seemed really cool. Thanks for your time and letting me pick your brain.
Sincerely,
Rosie
Answer Rosie, thank you for your question. this certainly is one of the more unique request I have had and I'll see if I can't help you based on the process of elimination. Reggie Miller has a huge tattoo on his back. Jermaine O'neal has some. I believe Al Harrington has one too. Not sure about Ron Artest or Jamaal Tinsley. I'd imagine Artest does. I don't think any of the white boys on the team has any tattoos with the exception of Brad Miller. I want to say that Jonathan Bender has some tattoos. Can't remember if Ron Mercer does or not but I'd guess he does.
No idea about the book, but I'd imagine if you email the specific MTV show your question, I'm sure they'll provide you with that information.
Too bad the Pacers still aren't playing right now otherwise I could be of more help to you.
