Marcus Thompson, of the San Jose Mercury News, posted a photo of Durant's new ink on Instagram and Twitter Thursday. Durant also arrived at Team USA camp Thursday.
"Durant is a huge Pac fan, I just learned," Thompson tweeted. "Biggie is his favorite but he is supremely impressed with Pac's mind at such a young age."

Durant already has quite the collection of tattoos on his chest and back, but has plenty of space on his canvas. He signed a two-year, $54.3 million deal with the Warriors on July 7. Durant told USA Today that he didn't leave his house for two days after making the announcement to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Team USA faces Argentina on July 22 in Las Vegas. It faces China on July 24 and 26 in Los Angeles and Oakland, respectively. Then the team faces Venezuela July 29 in Chicago and Nigeria Aug. 1 in Houston.
