Terrence Shannon Jr., a former standout player from Illinois, was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves as the 27th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft in June 2024. Shannon’s exceptional skills led to him being named the Illinois Male Athlete of the Year in 2024. However, it’s not just Shannon’s outstanding talent that’s exciting fans. The 23-year-old shooting guard surprised everyone with his new tattoo. His most recent tattoo on his hand is inspired by the popular video game Grand Theft Auto and alludes to the cheat code that provides unlimited gun ammo in the game. Shannon’s tattoo clearly suggests his ability to dominate on the court.

Shannon Impresses in NBA Summer League Debut
In his first NBA summer league game for the Minnesota Timberwolves against the New Orleans Pelicans, Shannon wasted no time in showing off his skills and amazed everyone with a dominating performance. He scored 25 points, grabbed three rebounds, made two blocks, and secured one steal. His field goal percentage was an impressive 64% after playing for 27 minutes, ultimately contributing to the Timberwolves’ 81-74 victory.
