DeShawn Stevenson Shows Off New Tats at Training Camp

Nobody ever accused DeShawn Stevenson of being normal, and the shooting guard spend media day the Washington Wizards showing off his new face tattoos. Among them are his son Londyn's name along his right temple, a backwards P for Pittsburgh, and a crack along the left side of his forehead.

This is in addition to the large tattoo of Abraham Lincoln he already has on his neck.

If you're a bit confused by what all this means, you're not alone. The Washington Times writer Mike Jones managed to grab Stevenson for a brief Q & A about his neck tattoo, the transcript of which follow:
MJ: So I know about the rest, but what's the story to the ink on your throat?

D-Steve: Oh, yeah, it's Abraham Lincoln.

MJ: Yeah, but what's it's meaning?

D-Steve: For slavery, ya know? Did away with it.

MJ: And how about the 5's on each side? Because of the five-dollar bill?

D-Steve: Naw, I had to put the 5's on each side because nobody could recognize Abe. They kept asking me who it was?

MJ: In real life? It looks just like him.

D-Steve: Yeah, I don't get it either, man. They keep saying, 'Who is that?' So I put the 5's on each side, so now they know who it is. Makes sense to us! (This does not make sense to us.)
