Amir Johnson is a Dirty Scoundrel
Who the hell does Amir Johnson think he is? What nerve! First he rips off the Raptors by sticking them with five years of his underwhelming production under contract, now he's literally ripping the clothes off of Elton Brand's back. Poor form, Amir. Simply no regard for the likes, wants and needs of fellow men. And would it kill you to clip your fingernails once in a while...

I Love Boys With Tattoos: Raptors F Amir Johnson Gets New Ink
Raptors forward Amir Johnson showed off his new ink on Twitter. I consider myself a tattoo connoisseur but, I’m not sure how I feel about this one. He said its an Afro-Samurai. It looks like some sort of Shaolin warrior on the water. Perhaps it’s the lighting that’s precluding me from giving it a thumbs up.
