ITS A TATTOO OF MERLIN
San Antonio Express-News (Texas)
November 30, 1997, Sunday , FINAL
SECTION: SPORTS; Pg. 4, Part A
HEADLINE: Duncan's unusual hobby and more unusual request
BYLINE: Jerry Briggs
BODY: Tim Duncan has a couple of obsessions not usually equated with today's hip-hop NBA: Renaissance fairs, samurai swords, and most importantly, Dungeons and Dragons. Known as "D&D" among afficinados, the fantasy role playing game engages players' imaginations as they trek through the imaginary world of GreyHawk. Along the way, players encounter friendly and hostile dragons, elves and a variety of otherworldly beings.
"It's a great escape from the rigors of the NBA," Duncan said while rolling his lucky 20 sided die while casting a spell of invisibility.
"I got hooked on D&D at Wake (Forest). Me and some buddies would play for hours at a time until I had to go to practice. My character is a 13th level lawful evil sorceror named Merlin (after the magician from Arthurian legend). Today, he has 98 hit points and an armor class of 2. My Charisma is 21. That's perfect."
The game's jargon aside, Duncan has made a more permanent commitment to his love of D&D.
"I have a tattoo of Merlin. He's like my alter-ego."
D&D's traditional player community is often labelled as "nerdy," but that doesn't faze Duncan.
"If playing D&D and dressing up in my purple sorcerors hat, velvet cape and magic wand is nerdy, call me a nerd. Though I'd prefer you called me Merlin," he grinned.
His obsession with Merlin and the black arts led to Duncan's quiet feud with the NBA this off-season. Wanting the back of his jersey to read, "Merlin," instead of his last name, Duncan sought the help of the NBA Players Association. Citing the NBA uniform code, Duncan's unusual request was rejected by the league.
Though the NBA and Duncan officially have no comment on the situation, sources close to Duncan say that this is not a closed matter.

Some say that this is live footge of TIm playing D&D![]()
Ostertag has got Fred Flinston just above his ankle
okay, Timmy opps Merlin from now on, i will call you Merlin...."If playing D&D and dressing up in my purple sorcerors hat, velvet cape and magic wand is nerdy, call me a nerd. Though I'd prefer you called me Merlin," he grinned.
P.S. I won't be surprised if Tim's new baby will be named Merlyn or Merlin.![]()

In the Paint : Tattoos of the NBA and the Stories Behind Them
by Andrew Gottlieb
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
For many, the name Dennis Rodman conjures up much more than a picture of a basketball player; it evokes an image of shocking hair, outrageous tattoos and that amazing solo wedding. And while Rodman is unfortunately not featured in this collection of the NBA's most popular and wondered-about tattoos, stars like Shaq and Hardaway share the meaning (or the lack thereof) behind the tattoos they proudly display. Shaquille O'Neal's surprising response to what informed his decision to get tattooed with the Superman logo, his kids' names, Against the Law, etc., is "First of all, I got my tattoos because I was allowed to get them. You better believe I asked my mother first."
The "Part 2 Heaven Cent" tattoo etched on Penny Hardaway's left arm represents his spiritual side ("I wanted something to do with Christ") and the "Cent" plays on the name Penny. Jason Williams, on the other hand, admits: "Ah, , man. I don't have no meaning behind my tattoos," echoing the sentiment of several other players who have tattoos just because they like them. Closeup shots and honest explanations straight from the tattoo bearers may please and enlighten curious NBA fans. 25 b&w and 75 full-color photos.

Book Description
Photographs of the wildest, weirdest and most interesting tattoos of the NBA, accompanied by firsthand accounts of what the tattoos mean and why they're there.
Ten years ago, Dennis Rodman was the only NBA player with tattoos worth mentioning and back then he was considered a freak. Now around 70% of the league is "tatted out." The game is played so fast that it's hard to tell what even the most obvious tattoos actually are. And some of the most interesting ones are hidden behind jerseys or under socks. Allen Iverson has more than two dozen tattoos -- some you can see, some you can't. Some are obvious, like his nickname, "the answer," and some are cryptic like "Jewelz," or "NBN." What's on Stephon Marbury's forearm? What's covering Cherokee Parks' entire body? In the Paint takes you in the locker room and as close as you can get to the tattoos and the stories of the NBA.
Get under the skin of your favorite NBA players including: -- Shaquille O'Neal
-- Kenyon Martin
-- Chauncey Billups
-- Doug Christie
-- Mike Bibby
-- Penny Hardaway
-- Mateen Cleaves
-- Antonio Daniels
-- Corey Maggette
-- Larry Hughes
-- Allen Iverson
-- Moochie Norris
-- Karl Malone
-- Stephon Marbury
-- Cherokee Parks
-- Greg Ostertag
-- Jason Richardson
-- Jalen Rose
-- Quentin Richardson
-- Sean Rooks
-- Lorenzen Wright
-- Eric Williams
-- Jason Williams
In the Paint is filled with tattoos from NBA superstars, rookies, and journeymen. And for every tattoo there's a story. The stories take you behind the scenes, on the court and off. Some are sad, some are funny, some are bizarre but they're all interesting. The book has a nearly limitless audience -- basketball fans, photography and art lovers as well as aficionados of body art. In the Paint is primed to be the holiday gift book.
