I hadn’t noticed until just now that Johnathan Williams has a triangle for a beard. Nice! Geometric shapes are an underappreciated form of self expression. It would be cooler if he could somehow make a tetrahedron out of a goatee, somehow make the edges really sharp (otherwise it would just a be a slightly angular goatee and not really a tetrahedron), but triangles are cool. Even adding just one edge and making them into quadrilaterals just misses the point entirely. For sure, triangles are at the top of my shape power rankings.
No, you don’t get to see my shape power rankings. The world is not ready for them. We can’t even be trusted with nuclear weapons, how can we be expected to be trusted with DTB’s opinions on which shapes are the best?
Angled follicular constructions aside, I hope Lakers fans are enjoying Johnathan Williams this year. I bet they are, because even with NoDefense “LeBron James” Suckballs in the picture, the Lakers fanbase is still kinda in “overrate all possible young talent” mode. These last few years have seen the Lakers compile one of the worst cumulative records over that span (right next to the Knicks, and here I thought the NBA was propping up the big markets), and when that happens, fanbases start to react strangely. I’ve seen every possible Lakers rookie scrub get overrated to high heaven (except for Robert Sacre, poor guy). Sometimes it’s justified (Thomas Bryant is a beast), sometimes it’s not (Tyler Ennis was never going to be good), but it always happens.
I haven’t seen it a ton with Williams this season, but it’s there somewhere. I just have to dig deeper into the horrific abyss of casual Lakers fans on Twitter to find it.
