John Lucas III

Reader Matt Jackson pointed out that Bulls point guard John Lucas III has a tattoo on his back that occasionally peeks out of the sides of his jersey as seen in THIS photo. He also pointed out a March 2012 John Lucas III feature on The Windy Apple that features the photo above. Team and overall stats have been adjusted, thanks Matt!
