Marcin Gortat has a Jordan jump man logo tattooed on his right calf, which has become a problem with Reebok. Gortat has an endorsement contract with Reebok.

Gortat and his colorful Jordan tattoo appeared in a picture on the front of a Polish newspaper after Game 1.

Reebok’s suggestions were apparently to wear high socks or body makeup to cover the tattoo.

“I've been wearing it four or five years now, and it helped me get to the NBA,” Gortat said after Tuesday’s shoot around. “They didn't say anything about it when I signed the contract, so it's not going anywhere. I don't think they are paying me enough to take it off.”

Seriously? They have a problem with that little ass ankle tat that you can't even see on tv? Reebok needs to find something better to do.

[Yawkey Way]

If Burger King pays you endorsement money you dont eat a Big Mac on national tv.

Lol at Reebok being a bunch of bitches, he had the tattoo when they signed him, they didn't care then, so why should they now?

[AJay]

Haha Gortat is the man. Good for him for standing his ground and not covering it up

Because he's Polish or whatever.

I remember hearing that the NBA was selling a lot of Magic jerseys in like Germany because of Gortat so he has some power over there in euroland.

That was before he signed with Reebok lol
