[Big Cuz 15]

dude looks like he's a mormon from utah!

 

[Bricklayer]

Guess he's decided to shed the soft label by going mountain man.

 

[Kings113]

lol yeah, I think it's to make him look tougher and distinctive... have read that from Grizzlies news too.

Distinctive? Perhaps.

Tougher? Um, nope...ain't workin.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I remember Mark Eaton, I watched Mark Eaton... YOU Sir are no Mark Eaton!

 

[vj9999]

Or maybe he's entering Bill Walton look alike contest

lol, I don't really care about the new beard either way. But it is different anyways, in a couple aspects.

I knew there was a reason my skin crawled when I watched Will Farrell in some skits on SNL. Now I know what that reason is...

VF- I thought you liked tall men with beards.

 

[tyrant]

more players are growing out their facial hairs. i wouldn't say it makes them look tougher, but it's definately more intimidating than a clean shaven baby face. if gasol wants to look tougher he should hit the weights. like kobe.

 

[loopymitch]

Sorry but that's just ugly!

 

[HndsmCelt]

I rest my case!

PS The Walton look with the beard really was cool in it's day (loved him as a player) but I am not sure any one ever really accused him of being a "tough guy"

 

[NoBonus]

I think he looks more like Ewan McGreggor's Obi Wan Kenobi

Every Man should have a beard. Shaving every day is just a ploy by the shaving industry to get men to buy razors and shaving cream.

He looks like Man Mountain Eaton now that you mention it.

Guys like McKie, Baron, etc may want to look like Worthy, but that don't make them big game.

Beards can be used to scrape the opponents when being defended. This tactic is very effective. Peja should re-grow his beard as it would allow him more spacing to get his shot off.

There aren't very many beards on Mormons in Utah, just to help you out. I'm currently living in Utah and most are clean shaven. Just a little fact, at BYU (Church school) being clean shaven is kind of rule/standard/whatever you want to call it.

I'd say it mirrors the Bill Walton look, but why would anyone want to do that? I wouldn't try to emulate that guy in anything.

 

[funkykingston]

It appears to me to be more sea captain/pirate than anything.

Ahoy matey, the rim be dead ahead!

When did they wear those black jerseys?

 

[Bballkingsrock]

It is called.........

SHAVING!! Get a shaver will ya Gasol?

Sorry but that's just ugly!

I agree!

is that kobe this year?

^ No. That's some stupid photoshop thing that a grip of village idiots at LG made. They have disturbing fantasies about Kobe wearing black instead of purple, yet pissed and moaned when they changed the seats at Staples from purple to black.

aside from the jersey, is that really Kobe? He looks very "Karl Malone" with the chin stuble and those massive arms.

Thanks for the info, Gargy...

So, tyrant... wanna explain why you're hanging around LG?????

Not just a suggestion..its a flat out rule. I've got friends that were not able to take their finals because they hadn't shaved in about 4 days.

I personally had to shave the goatee in order to play ball at the BYU gym and I didn't even go to the school.


I say this as a point of information, not as an invitation to bash BYU/Mormons. Just an FYI.

That's early last year judging by the tattoo and the bulk. He's smaller than that this preseason.
