A triple double with ten steals is quite an achievement.
Wheeler is a dominant post man, right? I can see him getting ten blocks on a good night, but ten steals is a fantastic game.

and does #11 have pig tails? C'mon man, that's not a great look for a guy lol

It was in jest man, relax, I'm not downing the kid at all. Just that pig tails are not the most masculine hair style you'll see for a guy. You can be a badass basketball player with all the talent in the world with a girly hair style, they aren't mutually exclusive lol

I understood exactly what you meant and what you mean. The youngters are gonna force the older generation to accept them for who they are whether they like their hair choices or not. and I love it. I fought the same battle in the 1970s.

Jeez dude are you always so dreary? It was a joke, I couldn't care less how kids wear their hair or dress or talk or whatever. If he wants to dye his hair pink and wear it in a Leia-style bun, more power to him if that's what he wants. I jus saw the picture and the style stood out.

Hairstyles and tats are how these kids show their individualty these days. Also the days of saggy pants are starting to change. Seems like the skinny jeans and shorts are making a surge. Different generation so different norms.

Just saw where a kid in Tx is not gonna be able to March in May unless he cut his hair. That one of several things that have been happening recently because of black folks hair. California had to recently pass a law to keep high schools out of the business of policing black folk's hair. So - yes I am sensitive to that.

I understand that and its a legit issue. It's absolutely ridiculous when school systems get into the business of legislating hair styles. It's absolutely absurd and it's undoubtedly one of the most prominent ways subtle racism shows up. I understand being sensitive to it man, I do, especially if you're a black guy. But I wasn't saying he should cut it, or change it, or anything of the sort. In a locker room, I would tease him about his hair being somewhat feminine and he would come back something about my fat neck or ridiculous mustache. It wasn't serious and I'm sorry if it came off as being racially insensitive.

styles are for sure changing. I'm not a fan of tattoos at that age, people change and may regret some of them if they aren't particularly meaningful and all races face issues in job interviews if they have a lot of exposed tattoos in areas not easily hidden, but I don't believe a school system has any right whatsoever to make problems for kids over them unless they are gang related.
