Michelle Beadle Has To Get A 'Very Unfortunate' Tattoo at 50

Michelle Beadle is bracing for a very "unfortunate" tattoo.

The former ESPN star turned FanDuel TV host is rooting hard for her San Antonio Spurs in the 2026 NBA Finals. However, things are not going well. The Spurs are trailing the Knicks, 2-0, heading into Game 3.

New York has emerged as the clear favorite to win the 2026 NBA Finals - and Beadle is going to emerge as the big loser. Beadle, 50, has revealed that she's going to have to get a tattoo.

Beadle is two Knicks wins away from having to get a Jalen Brunson tattoo, right as she enters her fifth decade.

Beadle made the admission on Monday. If the Spurs were to come back, her friend has to get a Victor Wembanyama alien tattoo.

"Wemby & Jalen Brunson aren't the only ones with skin in the game 😅 If Spurs comeback, a Knicks fan will get a tattoo of an Alien 👽 If not, Michelle will have to decide where she'll place Captain Clutch on her body 🫣 No matter who wins the NBA Finals, someone will have a permanent reminder of their team losing 🏆," they revealed.

NBA fans react to the tattoo reveal

NBA fans can't wait to see what Beadle is going to get.

"So you're dating a Knicks fan, 👏, do better. J/k," one wrote.

"Make it like a lil Wayne tear drop with Brunson shooting a three," one fan added.

"On the bright side, if San Antonio loses at least the Brunson tattoo won't take up as much space as a Wemby tattoo! 😁😂🤣," one fan added.

Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals is set for Monday night, tipping off at 8:30 p.m. E.T. on ABC.
