At the end of the game when his headband was knocked off I noticed that he had what is called a strip scar on the back of his head which is common among people doing hair transplants. So James finally started to get this procedure done. Or am I late to the party.
If I were balding, in the limelight all the time, and had all the money in the world I would get one too.
Doesn't make sense when you're allowed to wear a du rag and play. I can't remember the last time I shot around without one. Guess he's not street enough.
I noticed it. A good friend of mine had it done, although he had a lot more hair than I have now before he did, and he was scarred just like that. After a while, his hair grew over the scarring and you couldn't tell. Didn't bring it up because James doesn't dribble with his head... yet.
I have no idea why Manu allowed his situation to get the way it is. An early transplant with a prescription of Propecia, and people wouldn't have even known he was losing it. He obviously still cares about his hair, otherwise he would have just shaved it.
As with anyone I'd respect him a little more if he went au naturel like ginobili, & just didn't worry about it, but apart from those headband regression future prediction photoshops, an issue that's not really on my radar.
