A Houston Rockets writer will be making good on his promise to get a Russell Westbrook tattoo following the team's acquisition of the eight-time NBA All-Star.

Taylor Pate, a contributor to the website Red Nation Hoops, was so confident the trade wouldn't happen that he vowed to get Westbrook's 2016-17 MVP season averages - 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 10.4 assists - tattooed on his face.

The trade did happen, and after receiving his wife's blessing, Pate announced he'll be getting the tattoo on his inner lip.
