NBA players often amaze fans by getting tattoos on their bodies. A memorable moment was when Dwyane Wade unveiled an impressive chest tattoo. Now, Jalen Green has fans scratching their heads after unveiling his new back tattoo.

After playing four seasons with the Houston Rockets, Green joined the Phoenix Suns in a massive trade involving seven teams that sent Kevin Durant to the Rockets. However, he has yet to make his season debut as he is currently recovering from a strained right hamstring sustained during training camp.

While he is not playing, Green surprised fans with a new tattoo. A video recently emerged on social media showing Green displaying the tattoo of his 40-year-old girlfriend, Draya Michele.

The tattoo was on Green’s back. The 23-year-old Green and Michele’s (40) relationship is complex and often faces criticism for their 17-year age difference.

When a video of Green’s tattoo for his girlfriend surfaced on X (formerly Twitter), social media erupted with their jokes in the comments section.

“could you imagine you gift your son nba genes he makes it to the nba just to waste it on a 40 yr old woman I wonder what spells she’s casting on this dude to have him like this,” one fan said.

“Omg ! Bro got a child predator tatted on him,” another joked about Green’s tattoo.

“Where tf his momma at ? He don’t got any big sisters or anything ? That’s not even going to be an easy cover up if shi go left.” another fan said.

“bro tatted his moms friend on his back,” another fan commented.

“The tattoo is weirder than the age gap,” another fan mentioned.

“This gotta be a humiliation ritual of some sort,” another fan commented.

“lol get ready for a terrible cover up,” another fan joked about Green.

“This is why you haven’t started a single nba game this season huh,” another fan said.

The age difference between Green and his girlfriend, Michele, has become a meme for fans. Additionally, his recovery from the injury is another important aspect surrounding him.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
