Tim Duncan Gets Huge Back Tattoo with Machine Design

Tim Duncan was a basketball machine for 19 years, quietly producing an all-time great NBA career for the San Antonio Spurs. The way he routinely dominated while preserving a calm demeanor, it was easy to mistake The Big Fundamental for a 6'11" robot programmed to guide the Spurs to championships.

The retired superstar apparently took that to heart. Elite Custom Tattoo, a tattoo parlor in Glendale, Arizona, shared an image of Duncan receiving elaborate, machine-themed ink on his back.

The body art features gears inside a yin and yang symbol, which is surrounded by pistons (not the ones from Detroit).

What if Duncan was a Westworld host this entire time?

Either way, it appears he has found another post-retirement hobby alongside ridiculing Sean Elliott.
