I noticed in a picture recently of Willis' tattoos that some of them resembled Native American symbols. Just wondering if anyone knows if he has Native ancestry?
 
I think hes gonna tattoo a few opponents heads with "Spalding" after he dunks this season.
 
Derek's mom is Eskimo for the record

Haha. I hope you are being sarcastic. He is like at least half Native American. I thought that was obvious?
No, I wasn't being sarcastic. Since most Native Americans are more on the short side (he's 6-9), I really didn't know. Anyways, I have always been interested in Native history & culture.
 
Ok how do college players pay for these tattoos? That's probably a couple grand of work. Even if his parents helped what about all the others kids that have them all over.

Very few of these kids have top notch work. That's when it's high dollar. That chest piece is ok but nothing spectacular. Probably around $300.
 
No kidding. Knew the kid had either Italian or Injun in him from the first time I saw him. Think the media asked him when he was a freshman and he said he was a part of the Layaho tribe. Would make sense, being that he grew up a UL fan.

Not true, in the past before the pilgrims and others came to America, there were tribles of giant Indians here. Bones have been found all over, even in my area in northern KY, some where were over 7 feet tall. Just google there's a lot out there.
 
I don't know about you guys but I think he needs to be in the gym down in the stance instead of spending hours in some tattoo parlor getting some fruity owl tattoo
Get real. These kids have a life other than basketball.

Yes..he's a robot and should do nothing else. Out of 24 hours in the day, we will give him 8 for sleep which is too much, but all the other hours..gym. he needs to get burnt out and hate the game.

I'm hoping this is sarcasm. If not...

I guess you live at work then, right?

Yeah there is a show on the history channel about it called uncovering the giants I think[thumb2]

Nothing wrong with tattoos as long as they mean something; I have two, myself. What I hate is that some people get them just to have ink. From what I can see on DW, it looks connected with his Native American history. A totem on his chest I think, and a wolf on his side?

If he can play this season as he did Monday night, then we'll forget this tattoos; if not, well I guess we can blame them? :rolleyes:

Same tribe as Peyton Siva?
