I’m not really a fan of the bleached look for Ky Bowman, but this is a free country, this is America, he can do what he wants with his hair, no one can tell him not to, that’s one of the rights that the founding fathers saw fit to explicitly include in the constitution. I am equally free to say it looks stupid, but my words mean nothing; he’s the mega-rich NBA player (actually, as a two-way player, he’s practically middle class or even worse considering it’s the Bay Area) and I’m just some schmuck on the internet who has delusions of grandeur. Why should he care what I think?
I bet Bowman’s teammates give him crap for it, though, and he should definitely be caring about their opinions. If someone like Draymond Green told me that my hair was stupid looking, I would take that comment as a sign to change it up, out of fear that he would do something drastic like kick me in the nuts because of it. I would also probably cry. Did I say probably? I meant definitely. I would definitely cry.
There’s not much to say about this performance other than that it matches his career-high (which barely matters since everyone on the Warriors roster will be setting new career-highs repeatedly just out of necessity) and that his jumper looks pretty good. I want to take this moment to criticize the Warriors video crew or whoever handles replays: if you are showing a replay of a devastating crossover leading to a bucket, be sure to actually SHOW the crossover and not just the bucket. If you miss the whole point of the replay, why even bother?
