NBA rookie for the Minnesota Timberwolves Terrence Shannon Jr has the classic Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas infinite ammo cheat code tattooed on his arm.

As reported by GameSpot, @TWolvesLead on X/Twitter posted a photo of Shannon Jr shooting a free throw during an NBA Summer League game and asked: "Is that a GTA cheat code on Terrence Shannon Jr's arm?"
The official Timberwolves account confirmed it. "Yes, yes it is," it said, also posting a photo of the tattoo with all its PlayStation 2 inputs. Shannon Jr is a touch older than most 2024 NBA rookies at 23 years old, meaning he was just old enough to play the 2004 title GTA: San Andreas as a child (though not according to its ESRB rating).
You can find the infinite ammo code along with many other GTA: San Andreas cheats along with our guide to GTA 5 cheats here on IGN.
Somewhat bizarrely, former NBA player Devonté Green also had the GTA cheat code tattooed on his arm, and he replied to the Timberwolves' post to remind people of that. "Trendsetter from my tats to my sweater," he said.
Grand Theft Auto has been long associated with cheat codes, with its latest release, GTA 5, including classics like infinite ammo alongside more bizarre cheats such as super jump or moon gravity.
Only time will tell what cheats Grand Theft Auto 6 will include, but based on the over the top trailer released in December 2023, it will include just as much ridiculousness as past titles.
