DeShawn StevensonThe Wizards held their media day Monday and a healthy Gilbert Arenas was the obvious story line. But by the time it was over, DeShawn Stevenson's new ink was what most people were talking about.

Yep, that's Honest Abe there on DeShawn's neck. And if you look closely, you'll see a tiny crack on his forehead. One thing you can't make out from the photo, though, is the backwards Pittsburgh Pirates "P", which sits just below Stevenson's left eye.

Why a backwards "P"? It's quite simple, really. Via the Washington Times' Mike Jones:

"For ... Pittsburgh, that's my favorite team. Barry Bonds, when he first started," Stevenson said.

The thing about the P is, however, that it's backwards and looks more like a 9. DeShawn tried to explain, "No, if you're standing where Dom's standing and looking at me, it looks like a P." Dominic McGuire was standing directly in front of him about 10 yards away, but it still looked like a 9. I think DeShawn meant to say, "When I look in the mirror it looks like a P."

The final new tat is a crack on the left side of Stevenson's forehead. He said it's because "I don't crack. I feel like people always try to break me, but I don't crack. So, I put that there."
