All eyes were on Kevin Durant at the start of free agency and perhaps because of that, the Warriors superstar got a giant tattoo of the rapper Tupac Shakur on his calf.
According to the Mercury News' Marcus Thompson, Durant is a big fan of Tupac and is impressed with the rapper's mind:
Durant is a huge Pac fan, I just learned. Biggie is his favorite but he is supremely impressed with Pac's mind at such a young age

Durant is actually heavily tatted up but most of his tattoos are on his back and chest, so they are not always visible since he is usually wearing a jersey or shirt. This tattoo however is clearly visible and is already getting plenty of ridicule on social media:

I choose to believe KD got that tattoo so he can have something to reveal once he pulls off these bad boys. pic.twitter.com/jLlBNwkS4R

And of course Durant's tattoo got the Crying Jordan treatment:

Durant may be quite proud of his tattoo but yet again, the internet stays undefeated.
