So you've probs seen the picture of Gilbert's new tattoo supporting Obama, it says "We believe in Change" along his fingers. But, tell me why he has to throwup the 'B' (for those less cultured the blood gang sign) every time he wants to show it off. It seems like ever since Lil' Wayne started to wear red, every one want to say SooWoo! Hahaha naw we just j/king we know Gilbert ain't no blood. Just hope he don't be showing it off in the wrong 'hood.

  • Um just a lil heads up....that is a sign for KAPPA ALPA PSI .... a African American fraternity that was founded in the early 1900's WAY before some dam crips and bloods....Please do you research ......not all hand signs are gang affiliated and most gang signs are borrowed versions of fraternity signs....Just a lil FYI no hard feelings..........keep barkin
  • the crips and bloods were incepted way before the 1990's! WTF are you talking about? know your gang history before making silly comments! ;)

  • panth...he said 1900's, not 1990's
  • ha ha.
  • guess I do need glasses.
  • i feel you! you call it the way you see it. and they call it fraternity hand signs= either way it's about arenas dedicatoin to obama.......................................... peace
  • I feel you Shizz08 I just don't like them sayin all hand signs are gang signs........ the message is awesome!!!
  • Gilbert went to AZ, ain't no kappas there...i am from the westcoast and round here don't no kappas throw the sign up, we are not real big on frats...i think it all depends on where you are from and grewup on the gang signs versus frat signs thing...but with gilbert being from LA he know what it is
    But this was not a serious article, it was more of funny social commentary...big ups to him for getting the obama tat and showing his support - i just can't wait for him to get back so i can watch him torch guys!
  • Seriously?
    No. I mean it. SERIOUSLY?
  • The tattoo is interesting, even though it's not grammatically correct. I thought Gil had a problem with Obama because the 3% tax hike would mean one less shark in the tank.

    I'm no fan of professional athletes flashing them at all, but there's not point in fining them ala Goddell.
    But I'm more curious as to where Gil gets his nails did...you can tell he's not playing with a manicure that tight. Go work on your buzzer beaters, Agent Zero.
  • It's not anything that anyone on here has said yet...Have you ever noticed when NBA players hit a three pointer they throw up the "3" sign...That's all it is. (who shoots a lot of 3's? Mr. Arenas)
