Brian Skinner will not be half-bad on Phoenix, at least as far as replacing Kurt Thomas is concerned. However, it looks like he's gotten a little too into the fun-lovin', free-livin' atmosphere of the Suns team.I am not sure what to call this look; it's inspired equally by pro wrestling, bad perms on gross chicks, Hot Topic, George Clinton, the Halloween-ish date of Opening Day, all those movies about ancient Rome, and something Amare Stoudemire said once on a ferris wheel. It also confirms my suspicions that Brian Skinner is the black Scot Pollard. Though on the court, it should probably be the other way around--Pollard can only hope in vain to be half the player B-Skinz is.
Anyway, a notable start to this Hair Watch season. Let's hope, though, this is an isolated incident, and not the beginning of some insidious, "Part Like a Rock Star"-esque trend within the NBA community.

3. come on, we are not in High School anymore. You are a man now and if you want respect, then dress and act accordingly. This is was not done as a style issue this is a attention grabber, brother just let your game do the talking and the sports writers will handle the rest.

8. Dennis Rodman was the rare overachiever who sported a wild look for his own amusement and for the enjoyment of NBA fans. Brian Skinner sucks. He is a crappy stiff who finally landed on a good team. Instead of kissing the ground his agent walks on, he grows this ridiculous, childish beard in order to publicly prove that he reached puberty. This is why the NBA sucks today.

15. Hey easy on Scott Pollard! His only claim in the Celts preseason was that he was a backup guy who could push others around in the paint. A man has got to know his limitations -- and Pollard plays this role well. Besides don't coax him into a green mohawk or something!!!
