NBA Fans React To Insane Jordan Clarkson Transformation Over His NBA Career: "From No Tattoos To All The Tattoos. Jordan Clarkson Finally Got Some 2K VC!"

Jordan Clarkson is one of the most notable players in the NBA. He made waves as a rookie in the league when he was playing for the Los Angeles Lakers and generated immense international praise for being a Laker as a Filipino-American. Clarkson was also over-delivering as a second-round pick, being named to the All-Rookie First-Team in 2015 due to his great play.

Since then, Clarkson has had successful stints across the league on playoff teams. He is currently on the Utah Jazz and has changed dramatically over the years. As a rookie who had to hustle to make his way into the league, Jordan was focused on perfecting his game and guaranteeing an NBA roster spot. As success on the court brought him fame and money, he finally started being himself.

An NBA fan shared a comparison picture of Clarkson as a rookie with no tattoos to how he looks now with over 20+ tattoos all across his body. Fans were also taken aback at the dramatic transformation the former Sixth Man of the Year has had over his career.

What's Next For Jordan Clarkson After Utah Jazz Begin Rebuild

The Utah Jazz rebuild could likely signal the end of Clarkson's time with the franchise after joining in 2018 via trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's been good for the Jazz, providing steady scoring on the team and winning 6MOTY in 2021 for his efforts off the bench.

With the Jazz entering their rebuild, there's no reason for a 30-year-old guard to take up minutes when there are plenty of young players vying for an opportunity. Danny Ainge is a tough negotiator, so he will try his best to get maximum value for a scorer like Clarkson.

Clarkson allegedly could have been sent back to the Lakers in the case of a Donovan Mitchell trade between Utah and New York, but Spida has been moved to the Cavs. Clarkson has a lot to offer a contending team, so it won't be a surprise to see him get picked up sometime over the course of the season.

From Deep: At long last, Nikola Jokic's Nuggets can envision getting to the top of the mountain

Jamal Murray tore his ACL on April 12, 2021. Leading up to that night, he'd been playing at an All-NBA level for two months: In a 25-game stretch, Murray averaged 24.1 points on .509/.459/.935 shooting splits, 4.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He was even more efficient than he was in the bubble playoffs, and his defense had improved, too. Murray only got to play with Aaron Gordon, the Denver Nuggets' big trade-deadline addition, for five games. They won them all except the one in which Murray got injured. In 110 minutes, their new starting five scored slightly more efficiently than any iteration of the Kevin Durant-era death lineup in Golden State and defended like a top-five team. Two Nikola Jokic MVP awards later, Murray is back. So is Michael Porter Jr., who signed a five-year extension about a year ago and needed back surgery nine games into the 2020-21 season. The Nuggets remember how easily everything slid into place with Gordon in the mix. Newcomer Kentavious Caldwell-Pop...

Klay Thompson to sit out Warriors preseason games in Japan as Kerr says he needs more time to ramp-up

Klay Thompson may have returned healthy to the Golden State Warriors last season, but the scars from his two missed seasons are still quite visible. The Warriors played their first of two preseason games against the Washington Wizards on Friday and will play another on Sunday, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that Thompson will not be playing at all during the trip to Japan. "Just feel more comfortable giving him a little more of a ramp up," Kerr said before Friday's victory over Washington. "He's just not quite ready to play at this point just based on where, you know, we're so early in camp. We just want to be safe and make sure he gets a good ramp-up before he plays in games." Typically, so little time to ramp up wouldn't be a problem for a veteran in a preseason context. The games tend to be so low-impact and demand so few minutes out of a team's best players that they can safely jog through them. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green played 1...

LeBron James says he has 'no relationship' with Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

It's not a matter of if LeBron James passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the No. 1 spot on the NBA's all-time scoring list, it's when. James sits just 1,326 points away from passing the Hall of Famer and Los Angeles Lakers legend, a milestone that should happen at some point this season given James is still performing at peak levels and is coming off a year in which he averaged over 30 points a night. If he averages around the same amount of points as he did a season ago for the Lakers, James could break the record somewhere in the middle of the season, assuming he stays healthy. It's a highly anticipated moment heading into the season, but in regards to LeBron's thoughts about and his relationship with Abdul-Jabbar, he didn't have much to say on the matter. Following the Lakers first preseason game Monday night, a reporter asked James what his thoughts were on the Lakers legend and if the two had any relationship, to which LeBron gave a very short answer. "No...
