SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, Tony Parker, Pau Gasol and Becky Hammon will soon be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and one fan is showing just how much he is excited for their moment.
Maybe a bit too much!
Spurs fan Mark Burnett recently showed off his new tattoo of the Hall of Fame logo, but he wasn't done there. The plan was to get Popovich, Parker, Hammon, Gasol, and the rest of the class of 2023 to sign his arm for the tattoo as well, and that's what he did.
The Hall of Fame shared video on Friday of Burnett getting the autographs. Pop and Parker sat at the same table, both amused by the idea. Dirk Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade were at the next table over, part of one of the most stacked Hall of Fame classes ever.
Check out just how much Burnett is gearing up for this weekend's Hall of Fame event:
As for those custom Popovich sneakers Burnett owns, they were created by San Antonio artist and sneaker customizer JC Art.
Along with Popovich and his name, the sneakers feature the team's fiesta colors complete with the Basketball Hall of Fame logo, five NBA titles, and the San Antonio skyline.
With all his gear ready for the big weekend, no one can say Burnett doesn't wear his Spurs spirit proudly: Literally!
The trio of Spurs and ex-Spur Pau Gasol will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Aug. 12 in Springfield, MA.
