Bucks forward Glenn Robinson "When I was in junior high school in Gary, Ind., I stole some India ink from my art class and tattooed the inside of my left forearm with GLENN THE ROCKSTER. I wrapped white thread around the needle and dabbed it in the ink and poked myself. I tried to keep it secret from my mother, but when she saw it, she gave me a three-week punishment. After all that, the tattoo came out crooked because I did it myself, so a few years ago I had it covered up with the NBA logo."
