Las Vegas native and avid Aces fan Trevor La Porte jokingly asked on Twitter for $250 to fund a tattoo of Dearica Hamby’s miraculous game-winning shot against the Chicago Sky. Except Hamby wasn’t joking, and reached out to La Porte offering to pay for it. La Porte booked an appointment with local artist Kenneth Marañon, who hadn’t done a sports portrait before. So Hamby wired him the money, and La Porte got the tattoo Saturday during a three-hour session at Beloved Family Tattoo Studio. “I think it looks great,” Hamby wrote in an email. “I think it’s cool I could create memories for people like that.”
