Great Moments in Facial Hair History

Baron Davis once again makes Great Moments history by offering to sell you the beard that’s gonna change your pathetic beardless lives. And it could be all yours for for the recession special price of $29.99.

But wait … there’s more.

Get this — the beard comes along with a free Deron Williams Texturizer Kit. Shop now or forever look like a lady. (via Ball Don’t Lie)

Great Moments in Facial Hair History: Vol. XV

by Jared Wade on January 26, 2010 at 12:13 am

Do eyebrows count as facial hair? I say they do.

The following photo and message came our way via @HawksPRman prior to the Hawks victory over the Rockets last night:

Before you’re shocked tonight, Hawks head coach Mike Woodson is minus his eyebrows tonight…don’t ask me why…LOL!

Why does he have no eyebrows? Lost a bet? NFL playoffs-related possibly? I have no idea. And at press time*, neither does anyone else.

Says Lang Whitaker of SLAM:

OK, been texted folk and nobody seems to know the deal w/ Woody’s eyebrows. The mystery deepens…

Perhaps we’ll never find out.

This blog doesn’t use paper. What I mean is “bench press” time. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to lift weights. Lots of em. Really heavy ones. Call me, ladies.

It’s hard to believe that someone could shoot 1/10 from the floor and only score 2 points in their season opener and still be named game MVP. But Baron Davis’s beard did precisely that.

When asked for his comment on becoming inaugurated into Great Moment history, Boom Diz first just stared at me with a cold, steady gaze before looking over at his shoulder at his girlfriend for approval and then turning back to me slowly to say “This is Sparta.”

Vincent Van Gogh. Emily Dickinson. Franz Kafka. Three artistic geniuses unrecognized in their own time.

Now, we can add one more name to that list.

Well, maybe not a name. But the fist-pumping, chest hair-flaunting, gold shark tooth-wearing, full beard-rocking hombre from 1995 who shows up 19 seconds into the below video has now officially been acknowledged for his unending contributions to humankind with this Great Moment in time.

Bonus: He’s probably not even dead yet.

John Salmons must have had a very conflicted Tuesday evening. One on hand, he repeatedly got torched down the stretch by Paul Pierce, who decided to drill pull-up jumper after pull-up jumper in the fourth quarter and overtime after realizing that Bulls coach Vinny of the Black has a learning disability and thus was not going to send a double team at him. But on the other hand, John probably looked in the mirror at some point after the game and saw this fantastic face growth while Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World” started playing inside his head.

Moral of the story: Win some, lose some.

Therefore, this Great Moment is dedicated to the man we in the NBA Twitterverse have affectionately begun calling Fish Sticks. And, yes, by “we” I mean “me.”

And in mildly related Bulls news, this is my favorite cartoon thus far from the Garbage Time-All Stars.

We had a mustache contest at work today (which I won) and it reminded me that I witnessed Reggie Evans sporting a phenomenal beard the other night.

See, the only thing that makes Philly even remotely worth watching is monitoring the ascension to greatness by my boy Young Thad. But since even that doesn’t really merit watching more than 10 minutes at a time and Reggie Evans only plays 13 mpg, our paths rarely cross in the night.

But when I saw the notorious junk aficionado himself sitting on the bench with such finely groomed chin treasure, it was indeed a Great Moment for the ages. So for those of you who thought there was only one reason to watch another Philly game this year, I’m here to tell you, nay, there is a second: Reginald Jamaal Evans’ beard.
