Not a ‘tattooed guy’: Larry Bird wants mural changed

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Larry Bird likes the mural but not the tatts.

A lawyer for the former NBA star has asked an artist to remove certain tattoos from a large painting of Bird on an Indianapolis multi-family residence. The tattoos include two rabbits mating on his right arm and a spider web on a shoulder.

Does Larry Bird want this mural removed because of the tattoos or the resemblance to Owen Wilson?

Artist Jules Muck painted Bird in a blue basketball uniform. It’s a replica of a 1977 Sports Illustrated cover when he played for Indiana State.

Attorney Gary Sallee says Bird “needs to protect” his brand and “doesn’t want to be seen as a tattooed guy.” Muck says she adds things like tattoos to her art to avoid creating a complete copy of a photo.

She says she’s trying to reach an agreement with Bird’s representatives.

Not remotely racist.


Yeah I missed the racism.

Ankywhoo, I'm confused - does Larry not have tattoos and this guy just randomly added some onto him or? Anyway, this is so unimportant that the fact that this "news story" was even written about and I'm actually replying is truly tragic.

Larry Bird is the rare someone who would legit benefit appearance wise from face tattoos.
