Why do you think Carmelo Anthony cut his hair? The answer is one of these ten scenarios:
1) When Allen Iverson got traded to the Detroit Pistons, the Denver Nuggets needed to use Carmelo’s hair to make the salaries match.
2) David Stern wanted to study the DNA of a player who is a great scorer but refuses to play defense.
3) Nuggets coach George Karl told Anthony he needed to lose five pounds. Instead of working out, Carmelo did the next best thing.
4) Carmelo was so inspired by Barack Obama, he decided to copy Obama’s hairstyle.
5) In an attempt to clean up the image of the NBA, David Stern has demanded that all high profile players conform to a hair length of no more than one inch.
6) In a moment Pete Rose could be proud of, Carmelo made a bet on a basketball game and used his hair as collateral.
7) With Chauncey Billups coming to town, Carmelo decided to get a hairstyle like Rasheed Wallace — complete with the random white spot.
8) Noticing that no player on the San Antonio Spurs has cornrows, Carmelo decided he figured out why they have four championships in the last nine years.
9) Carmelo wants to get in on the high-powered Denver Broncos offense and become the team’s new tight end, so he cut his hair so his head could fit in a helmet.
10) Carmelo Anthony wants the opposing team to think he’s Anthony Carter so that nobody will guard him.
