A Twitter user noticed the tattoo during an NBA Summer League game and asked if it was a cheat code from GTA. The official Timberwolves account confirmed this by posting a photo of the tattoo with a PlayStation 2 login and the caption: “Yep, that’s it.”
Shannon Jr., 23, was old enough to have played GTA: San Andreas when it was released in 2004 as a child, but he still falls within the ESRB’s age limit.
Interestingly, former NBA player Devontae Green also has a tattoo with the same cheat code, and he reminded us of it in a response to the Timberwolves post. “From my tattoos to my sweaters, trendsetting,” he said.
These tattoos show how much GTA: San Andreas has influenced culture, with famous basketball players becoming symbols of the video game craze.
