(That ought to give us some time.)ĭan Devine is an editor for Ball Don't Lie on Yahoo Sports. It might not happen in time for 🎃, or even ⛄, but maybe it'll be available by the time you and the Hawks win the 🏆. Maybe they'll make one soon, and you can 🎉. "I can't think of many others but that's definitely one I'd like to use for a couple people." "They definitely need a middle finger emoji," Scott told Laird. and, as of this past winter, was planning "to get all of them." But even a man as committed to the emoji game as Scott still finds his path blocked by certain limits you can't, after all, get tattoos of emojis that don't even exist. This content is not available due to your privacy preferences. No matter how many NBA old folks raise an eyebrow at Scott's predilection toward a very particular set of tattoos, he's intent on continuing to add to his collection - in fact, he just got a half-dozen new emoji tats, and showed them off via Instagram: It's like he's Captain America after getting thawed out, right down to the whole "pretty spry for an older fellow" thing we all break out whenever Vince dunks now. But why do these lips look so weird? They're definitely not like the other lips I'm used to seeing tattooed on a player's neck."Īlso, it's hard to come up with a richer descriptor of how Vince's place in the NBA has changed over the years than to think about the distance between the world-shaking young havoc-wreaker he introduced himself as in Toronto and the might-as-well-be-100 (but not 💯)-year-old man to whom Mike Scott won't waste time explaining emojis. The phenomenal thing about this is that Carter was probably like, "No, no, I totally get having lips tattooed on your neck I mean, I've known Kenyon for a long time. I just told him, 'Nah, nah, it's no one's lips, and kept going with the game. Obviously I didn't have time to sit there and explain the whole emoji thing in the middle of the game.
I mean, I don't think he understood they were emojis. Through it all, though, we were left to wonder - um, why? After months of persistent pursuit, Mashable's Sam Laird got the man himself to discuss his technologically specific body art - which Scott estimates make up "about 80 percent, 85 percent" of the more than 20 tattoos he's got - and the explanation is pretty perfect:

Such discussions became more common come springtime, when Scott surprised national audiences with four double-digit scoring games during the eighth-seeded Hawks' first-round playoff series against the top-ranked Indiana Pacers, including a scintillating 17-point second quarter in Game 5 that briefly made the Virginia product the center of NBA attention.
19 Atlanta Journal-Constitution feature on the second-year contributor, confirming what some eagle-eyed fans had suspected while watching Hawks games and prompting nationally televised discussion of his unique ink preference. "Yes, those are emoji tattoos on Mike Scott," Chris Vivlamore wrote in a Jan. The tattoos were another, perhaps bigger reason. Well, that was one reason he started to stand out.
