The NBA has been rocked by several deaths this year. Although Chadwick Boseman is not directly linked to the league, his death affected the players tremendously, and one of them decided to honor him with a new tattoo.
2020 has been a dark year in the NBA for a number of reasons, starting with many losses. With the deaths of David Stern and Kobe Bryant in the space of just three weeks, the schedule couldn’t have started any worse for the great American basketball family.
And that didn’t really get better afterwards. The tragic disappearances of other celebrities have marked the spirits, like Chadwick Boseman. The actor who played the superhero Black Panther died of colon cancer last August at the age of 43.
Chadwick Boseman was a huge basketball fan, very close to several stars of the league who were all very moved when the news of his death was announced, as evidenced by their reactions and tributes. For her part, Markelle Fultz has decided not to stop there: the young star of the Magic has just revealed a new tattoo in memory of the actor.
I had the pleasure of tattooing Markelle Fultz from the Orlando Magic. Thanks for letting me do this Black Panther for you bro ????????
Black Panther remains by far the most famous role of Chadwick Boseman, by the power and the resonance of the character within the company. When we know the commitment of the players in the “Black Lives Matter” movement, Boseman and his character are logically erected as a symbol.
More and more players are tattooing personalities related to the social cause in the United States. According to TMZ, it is Roly T-Rex, the tattoo artist, who advised Fultz to make a representation of the superhero Marvel, and he loved the idea.
Chadwick Boseman was part of the NBA family, Black Panther will forever be an icon. Markelle Fultz pays tribute to him with this new wonder.
