After last night’s victory against the Utah Jazz, Victor Wembanyama was asked about being selected to the All-Star staring five. Immediately after discussing the honor, the focus shifted to baldness.
When
asked about Carter Bryant’s standout performance, Wemby responded,
“It was great, it was great. Feels like now he makes dunks, he don’t want to let the hair go.”
Wembanyama is referring to the recent posts that Carter Bryant was offered $20,000 to shave his head. Thus far, Victor and Keldon Johnson have ceremoniously shaved their heads while Jordan McLaughlin was ahead of the curve.
Bryant was offered the stipend to join in the festivities. When he turned it down, De’Aaron Fox said that if Bryant blew three more dunks he’d not have an option to shave his head.
Wemby believes despite making the dunk and turning down the money, Bryant will come around.
“I think everybody needs more bald players. I think it’s a show of dedication, at least from my point of view. I think Carter’s coming next if I had to bet on it.”
When asked if Wemby, as a team leader could exert his power and influence to lobby for more shave players, he replied wryly,
“I definitely am. And we need to start having contracts and conditions.”
His influence thus far has garnered the respect of his fans and peers in the Jackals as well as members of the Spurs crew.
There was even some in-arena fun from The Coyote focused on bald members of the audience.
We all know when Wemby wraps his head around an idea, he gets people on board. After all, the Jackals was his brainchild.
Now the head is bald and he’s putting his energy behind getting his teammates on board.
In his postgame interview, Harrison Barnes stated he wasnt against shaving his head as long ias it was his decision. He also hypothesized that Stephon Castle will be the last to shave his head.
Even NBA on Prime got in on the trend.
Who will be next to go under the shaver? Only time will tell.
