He’s the leagues only Polish player.  He also seems like a decent guy.  You can check out all the details here (theres also a great flash photospread of NBA tat’s you should CHECK OUT).

“I’ve been wearing it 4-5 years now, and it helped me get to the NBA,” said Gortat. “They didn’t say anything about it when I signed the contract, so it’s not going anywhere. I don’t think they are paying me enough to take it off.”

Looking around online about Gortat led me to this great blog with a bunch of interesting facts about him and this great pic of GORTAT going ANIMAL.

Also heres a video of him doing some sort of dunk competition that after watching made me quite happy that I chose GORTAT to write about right now –
