"Should tattoo Steve Kerr's face on his butt": Fans drop hilarious reactions after Jayson Tatum unveils 2023 Kobe Bryant ASG MVP tattoo

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum revealed his new tattoo featuring the 2023 Kobe Bryant All-Star Game Most Valuable Player (MVP) trophy on Friday. The reigning NBA champion shared a picture of his latest ink on Snapchat.

Basketball fans responded with hilarious reactions, with one fan comically suggesting that Tatum's tattoo should have depicted Team USA and Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr.

"Jason Tatum should tattoo Steve Kerrs face on his butt."

One X user humorously poked fun at Tatum for his limited playing time during the recently concluded 2024 Paris Olympics, where he won a gold medal with Team USA.

"He should get a Gatorade bottle tattooed for being a water boy."

A couple of fans took a sly dig at the Celtics forward for his new ink.

"Bro had to put All Star MVP as his tattoo because that’s the only MVP award he’s won," a fan wrote.

"I remember he sat out a regular season game vs the bucks to get extra rest for the all star game," commented another X user.

Another fan deemed Tatum's tattoo "weird" and explained.

"Im not mad at him getting a tattoo but the fact that none of them take the game seriously makes this tattoo a little weird."

One of the fans claimed that Tatum is trying to become a meme.

"Damn, aint no way, bru. Dude making himself a meme."
