Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis has added another tattoo to the collection on his body.
The fresh ink from tattoo artist Steve Wiebe covers Davis’ back and depicts his journey from playing college basketball at Kentucky to the NBA, with the phrase “started with a dream” written above the images, with the Larry O’Brien Trophy and 2012 NCAA title among them:

The new tattoo features Davis in his No. 23 Kentucky jersey, the NCAA championship trophy from the Wildcats’ victory over Kansas in the 2012 title game and the Larry O’Brien Trophy from the Lakers’ win in the 2020 NBA Finals.
Davis played one season at Kentucky in 2011-12 before becoming the No. 1 pick to the New Orleans Hornets in the 2012 NBA draft. He was a near-unanimous national college player of the year winner during his freshman campaign.
Since entering the NBA, Davis has established himself as one of the best big men in the league. He’s a nine-time All-Star, four-time All-NBA first-team selection and four-time All-Defensive team selection.
Davis averaged 27.7 points on 57.1 percent shooting, 9.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.4 blocks per game in 21 starts during the Lakers’ run to the 2020 NBA championship.
