Barnes sporting a Mohawk!

by EternalWarriorsOptimist on Apr 20, 2007 3:21 PM PDT

Apparently Barnes told his teammates back in February that if they made they playoffs he'd get a mohawk!

Here's Barnes explaining what happened to reporters at practice today:

What do you guys think of his new haircut? Fill out the survey and leave your comments. Maybe some other Warriors will come out on Sunday with new haircuts as well? There was a rumor that Baron was going to shave his Teddy Pendergrass beard off...

That Great!

I've been rocking a mohawk for the past 2 months and been growing my beard for almost a year. It will definitely make him more streamlined and able to knock down more 3's

haha

i think the mohawk should make him more aerodynamic, and help aim the threes in the hoop

the mohawk should help aim the threes in the hoop

especially if he shaves an arrow in it aligned with the center of his brain.

barnes

said on KNBR that if we made the playoffs, then the team would make Baron shave his beard. As for Barnesie's new do, I'm speechless.

I hope Baron NEVER shaves his beard off

that beard of his is pure savagery.

RUN TMC!

Keep the Beard

It gives him a crazy mean mug and scares the ish out of his opponents. It's like a bulldog coming strait at you.

Through thinNthinN?

according to the recent issue of Vibe

faux hawks are way outta style, straight up 2005... especially for black men. not a good look for ANYONE in my opinion.

by dj fuzzylogic on Apr 20, 2007 3:46 PM PDT reply actions

it's not a faux hawk

he's got a mohawk. A faux hawk is a fake mohawk, when someone styles thier to the shape of a hawk.

thats right..

there is def. a difference. at any rate, still not a hot look -- fauxhawk or mohawk (ala p.ditty running the marathon way way back in 2003-04?)--NOT HOT.

according to the recent issue of me

jock-hawks should always be out. i'm glad harrington got rid of his but now barnes baby is trying to correct his original hair issue with something even more horrifying. speaking of barnes here's something for everyone who has a passing interest in the guy should peep. this randomly found blog is responsible for me refering to matt as a crackhead lately. feel the barnesation barnes nation!

that barnes blog site is whack

i'd say the guy who writes that blog is crackhead! he did have a link to a funny FLICKR gallery of NBA players partying. Here's some highlights:

Jassy gets down!

Now we know how Foyle spends New Years.

Must be post-trade.

HAHAHA!

Dude, Jassy by far got the best groupies or fans. Is hoops skill inversely proportional to groupie love?

Good call

On calling me out the day I manned up to get a Golden State of Mind account. No offense though, since I'm part-crackhead, part-whack, and a whole lot of bandwagon hopper. Just to clear this up: first off, its like a complimentary crackhead, since we all love Matt Barnes over at the son of dippin. Secondly, although at first it looks as if I'm simply about loving on Matt Barnes and nobody else, I've slowly developed into a halfway decent Warriors fan watching as many games as I can get here in NY, and don't tell anybody, but I even quietly rooted for the Warriors to beat the Knicks when I went to the Warriors-Knicks game at MSG. Go Warriors.

The Son of Dippin.

Haircut

I hope that Matt Barnes' new haircut helps improve his consistency in 3's. Personally, I have never liked the look of the faux-hawk on anyone. It just makes dudes look more metro, regardless of how manly they be. At least with Barnes, his new 'do isn't as jacked up as compared to Chad Johnson's blonde faux-hawk...LOL.

Baron

should not shave his beard until the playoffs are over. it just really makes him look sav as HELL.

Baron should not shave

"his beard until the playoffs are over. it just really makes him look sav as HELL.'

Yeah, I've got one too and I hope I can keep it till we win the finals but it's starting to itch.

by ballin on Apr 20, 2007 8:43 PM PDT reply actions

Al Harringturtle used to have a

mohawk too earlier in the year on Indiana.

The pics from the GSoM story/game threads probably aren't around anymore and for links sake I can't find them anyway with the search function at the top of the main page.
