JaVale McGee

After winning an NBA championship with the Golden State Warriors in 2017, McGee got a tattoo of the Larry O'Brien trophy. In an interview with Carl Steward published by The Mercury News, McGee joked that he'd like to add a second trophy tattoo: “'Obviously,' he said. 'My arm’s long enough.'”


McGee has a mustache tattooed on his left index finger as seen in the photo above. A 2012 Sports Illustrated profile by Lee Jenkins discussed McGee's goofy alter ego "Pierre" and explained that it helps him access Pierre: "He has a tattoo of a mustache on his index finger, which he puts over his lip when he's in character."

During the summer of 2011, McGee participated in PEAK’s lockout diaries video series (Dorell Wright and Shane Battier also contributed videos). For one video, McGee talks through his tattoos—tributes to his mother, grandmother, place of birth, and basketball—all of which are located on his chest, stomach, and back. He explains that there are more to come, but “none on my arms or anything. I feel like that’s unprofessional, I feel like you should have tats that you can hide. That’s why I don’t have any on my arms or on my neck or anything.”
