Shawn Marion - The Demon Bird Moth Ball

Shawn Marion - The Matrix:

According to a news report on NBA’s website: “Sept. 24, 2003: Shawn Marion will be sporting a new look beyond the added pounds he piled on in the weight room this summer. A tattoo down his right leg in Chinese lettering which translates to ‘The Matrix’ was added to his body art early in the off-season.”

The three “Chinese lettering” Mr. Marion sporting does not really translate as “The Matrix” in Chinese.
魔 = demon, evil spirits; magic power
鳥 = bird
樟 = camphor (a plant where its chemical exact is used for making moth balls)

The movie “The Matrix” is translated as 黑客帝国 (Hackers’ Empire). “Matrix”, as in mathematical and logical condition, is translated as 矩陣

PS. Even his action figure has this tattoo on it."
