The Golden State Beard


Inspired by the good folks over at Fear the Beard!

What if we were to flip the script on believing this season and simply... grow a beard! I know it's a far fetched idea but a lot of people are making that extra effort during our playoff run. Even the fake beards are acceptable to rock in public! (Kids and ladies too!) Just the thought of seeing a sea of yellow We Believe T-Shirts accompanied with a thick beard (grown, strapped on or cut-out) is history in the making. If the players of Golden State went the next step and grew beards that would be an incredible site to see. Just imagine... actually, let me draw it out so we can all see the possibilities!

I've taken a stab at movies, music, and tall tales, but on this one I wanted to give it that TV sitcom feel... The Beard Bunch! Where do I begin?

1) Monta Ellis: This is going to be Monta in 6 years looking extra street! That rugged look is most fitting although what do the ladies think?

2) Al Harrington: The beard is looking fly on Harrington and he's looking a little bit like Hip-Hop veteran Common!

3) Andris Biedrins: Is reminding me of a young Chuck Norris posting up for a rebound! Originally, I was just gonna give him a beard shadow since he isn't old enough to have a thick one.

4) Don Nelson: I went with a thick black beard for Nellie because the white one reminded me too much of Santa Clause!

5) Matt Barnes with a beard kind of reminds me of Freeway from Roc-a-fella!

6) Kelenna Azubuike: With a beard he looks like that dude from ER!

7) Baron Davis: Need I say more? Rock the Beard!

8) Stephen Jackson: I know he's trimmed it considerably, but hey- lets get it thick as if he was competing with Baron's!

I'm just having fun with the idea and adding on to the ever growing Beard Movement that even Baron is representing. Spread the word!

My favorite Beard related sites:

How about Belinelli?
He'd look like such a stoner bum.  It'd be awesome.

then we will fight in the shade.

I don't know why, but Monta reminds me of Gilbert Arenas in this picture.

Alot of people say bad things about Stephen Jackson, but don't give him credit for being a good basketball player.

They can...
In drawings buddy! It's like a rough composite to a muder suspect so to speak lol. It was a fun concept that got major laughs at the Houston game. Theres more to come!

...and it's like that! Coz' that's the way it is... Dubz!

by jchao204 on Mar 23, 2008 9:52 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

seriously
i can too... just because you lack the genes doesn't mean the rest of us do too.

I hear...
That Chinese people are all really short and know Kung Fu.  There's no way one of them could ever be 7'6"...

dude I shaved by beard after the Houston loss
This new beard started off with a good win.

by racsan on Mar 24, 2008 1:36 AM PDT   0 recs

I shaved mine last week too
Not because of the loss, in fact I think I did it early last week.  Too much maitenence.  Too scratchy.

also
why change Andris' hair color?

by racsan on Mar 24, 2008 1:36 AM PDT   0 recs

dammit tony
you forgot about my boy Pietrus.  with the way he's been playing lately i would have given him the nod over barnes.
I pray i never have to use a gun again.

It may be getting too old, but...
Andris Biedrins doesn't block shots
Balls know not to go into the basket

Andris Biedrins once played basketball with God.  The score was Andris 69, God 2.  God prayed for Mercy and Andris gave him a free layup after blocking him 34 times.  Andris is a benevolent ruler.

Sorry, I suck... anybody else?
