LeBron James has two new tattoos that are making their first appearance while he plays for Team U.S.A. in Japan.
On his right calf is the word ``Witness,'' a reference to the Nike campaign during the playoffs. Also, on his right arm, below his elbow, is a large ``330,'' a reference to his hometown area code, with four stars around it.
``I got some things to debut to the fans,'' James said.

Dwyane Wade rose to acknowledge the crowd chanting his name with 4 minutes left, the only time he got off the bench as the United States routed Senegal 103-58 Thursday to advance to the second round of the world championships.
Wade had the night off, after helping the U.S. rally a day earlier in the win against Italy.
The NBA finals MVP for the Heat stood and waved, drawing a loud roar.
"That was a first for me," Wade said. "It was a great experience, though. We play our heart out here to entertain. We gained some fans on this trip."
Chris Bosh scored 20 points and LeBron James added 17 in limited duty for the U.S. team, which remained unbeaten.
The Group D champions depart Friday morning for Saitama, where they will face Australia on Sunday in the round of 16.

By playing for Team USA, not only does LeBron James get to play international basketball at a high level, but he also gets to market himself directly to a lucrative region of the world.
``It is only going to help my business,'' James said. ``Once I knew the world games were going to be in Japan, I knew I was going to be on board.''
James is also taking Mandarin Chinese lessons with the goal of being able to conduct interviews in that language by 2008.
