Normally I would be hesitant to make a video of Meyers Leonard scoring just fourteen points. That’s not very many for a guy with a reasonable amount of offensive skill, a guy whose totals are usually limited by the minutes he plays more than anything else. But I had to make this video because I have a very important message for Meyers: whatever it is you’re doing with your hair right now, just stop.
I don’t know if he wants to bring back the Bill Walton era to Portland or something, but the “mop held back by hairband” style has looked cool on approximately 0% of the people who have ever attempted it. The best-case scenario for Meyers is if this is an intermediate step between short hair and long hair, and that he will eventually look like a blond Steven Adams. The worst-case scenario is that he actually wants to look like this and he’s going to keep it this way forever in defiance of my advice.
I feel like Mike Miller tried this look once upon a time. Maybe the Blazers should trade for that Miller guy so he can dispense his veteran advice in Meyers’ ear. Advice on how to not have that hairstyle anymore.
