You can practically feel the anxiety exuding from my selected thumbnail image. Marco Belinelli, after a made shot, checking to make sure that his hair is still there, and, more importantly, is ruffled enough to give it the illusion of thickness – to cover up the bald spot that is rapidly forming there. Marco thinks nobody notices, but DownToBuck sees all when it comes to players anxious about their receding hair.
He knows that his fellow Euros have not fared well in the hair department: Evan Fournier, Bojan Bogdanovic, Manu Ginobili (not Euro but who cares); all of them lost their hair at a young age. Marco knows he is next in line for imminent and embarrassing hair loss, and he knows that once the hair loss has reached the point where it is undeniable, I will begin writing descriptions unfairly targeting his hair, or lack of hair.
What Marco doesn’t know is that I have already begun writing such descriptions. That I have sunk to new lows when it comes to deriding the balding players of the NBA. That I have forgone whatever journalistic ethics I might have once possessed. That I am now running what is essentially a tabloid from my YouTube channel. He doesn’t know these things – yet. But he will. When I tweet this video at him fifty times in the span of one hour.
