Dozens of athletes and celebs have gotten Kobe Bryant tattoos in the wake of the NBA legend’s passing, but Gerald Green’s new Mamba ink might just top them all …

The former NBA player — who just announced his retirement last week — revealed he had a pic of him defending Bryant tatted on his right arm recently.


The artwork is very cool — it’s a tat based on a photo of him trying to block Bryant’s shot at the rim during a game when Green played for the Suns.


The piece is a big one … it stretches from the top of Green’s bicep almost all the way down to his inner elbow — and it’s all in black and white coloring.

Of course, Green made the move to honor Bryant — someone he’s never shied away from publicly praising.

Gerald Green at Toyota Center wearing a Kobe Bryant Jersey: “He meant a lot to me. He inspired me since I was a little kid.” Said he’s had that jersey for awhile: “I just never wore it because I’ve always been a Houston guy, but definitely got to show respect when it’s due.”


You’ll recall, Green wore a #8 Bryant jersey to a game in the days following the ex-hooper’s tragic death … saying at the time that Kobe had inspired him since he was a child.

“I don’t think anybody could ever achieve the things that he did,” the 35-year-old said, adding, “There will never.

The tat is just the latest in a long of famous permanent Bryant tribute pieces … with people like LeBron James, Anthony Davis and even Snoop Dogg all getting ink to honor the Mamba.
