Grizzlies forward James Johnson has a huge neck tattoo dedicated to his prematurely born son, Naymin. He's also been a superb role player appreciated by Memphis fans, so what better way to celebrate Johnson than with a (temporary) neck tattoo giveaway?

The team will hand out free "GRIZZLIES" neck tattoos—which are really just stickers intended to go on fans' necks—to the first 5,000 fans for the Feb. 21 game against the Clippers.

For those that don't know who James Johnson is he was playing in the Dleague about 2 months ago. Since the Grizzlies picked him up they have had one of the league's best records.

He has blocked 18 3 pointers since the Grizzlies picked him up. He actually sent back 2 or 3 of Kevin Durant's 3s the other day.

Back to back 3 point blocks
