Brazilian Soccer Superstar Immortalizes Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant in a Permanent Tribute

Vinicius Jr is celebrating his sports idols in a massive way. The Real Madrid star had the likeness of the GOATs across different sports inked on his back in a spectacular fashion. The soccer pro has an affinity for the NBA through his friend, Giannis Antetokounmpo. He’s gone way beyond those expectations in his newest tribute.

His new tattoo has left eyes and jaws wide open, not only for the scale of it occupying his entire back, but also for the artist’s talented rendition. Among the greats permanently etched into Vinicius’ skin, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant stood out.

Fans now have the HD view of his new back tattoo featuring icons like Muhammad Ali among others. Prominently standing out in the center is Lakers legend, Kobe Bryant. The iconic image is from 2008 when the Black Mamba celebrated a three-pointer against the Nuggets in Game 2 of the playoffs by tugging on his No.24 jersey.

On the side was Michael Jordan. Though something was amiss. It appears the tattooist took some artistic liberty to make His Airness lefthanded when the somewhat ambidextrous legend was comfortable with his right hand.
