This kid must&#8217;ve been abused.<\/p>\n<p>But, if you <i>were<\/i>\u00a0going to, at least it was executed perfectly by the barber, for a cool $75 bones.<\/p>\n<p>Not only does the image have the absolute perfect likeness of Matt Bonner, but it also has the perfect likeness of the goofy form on his jump shot\/set shot.<\/p>\n<p>But think how weird it would be to be behind that kid in line somewhere, especially outside of Texas- it would just be creepy.<\/p>\n<p>The cut itself though looks so good that the 12-year old could walk up backwards to the register at any store and easily, casually, purchase a pack of cigarettes <i>as<\/i>\u00a0Matt Bonner.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, if you squint your eyes and look at the image of Matt Bonner, it actually begins to look a lot more like artist Vincent Van Gogh. Or Chuck Norris.<\/p>\n<p>But what cemented the haircut into legend was the fact that the 12-year old recipient of the haircut was actually suspended from school for being a \u201cdistraction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That is when Matt Bonner had enough and decided to intercede.<\/p>\n<p>Bonner offered the boy (and fellow redhead) playoff tickets for him and his family, as well as several pieces of autographed Spurs memorabilia.<\/p>\n<p>Via Twitter, Bonner also offered a showing of solidarity for his young fan: &#8220;Keep working on your game and maybe I&#8217;ll shave you into the back of my head.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shaving notable celebrities into a person\u2019s head has really evolved in recent years, beginning with this barber who cut a startling likeness of the rapper Biggie\u00a0Smalls\u00a0into a patrons head.<\/p>\n<p>From there, the trend continued, culminating recently with Bonner and\u00a0even his Spurs teammate Tony Parker.<\/p>\n<p>Kudos to Matt Bonner for having the kids back. At least one adult involved handled the situation rationally.<br \/>\nRelated NBA:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8220;What&#8217;s Paul Westphal&#8217;s phone number?&#8221; &#8211; NBA Coaching Carousel Out Of Control<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Bill Belichick IS Gregg Popovich, Finkle IS Einhorn!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Let\u2019s Reflect: \u201cThe Admiral\u201d David Robinson\u2019s 71 Point Game<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; VIDEO: NBA Great Steve Smith On Guarding Michael Jordan, Where He Keeps Championship Ring<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matt Bonner haircut, really son?
