6,000 people can't all be wrong. Can they?

I realize that sponsorship in sports is common. NASCAR drivers wear more patches on their outfits than Boy Scouts. It’s one thing to have sweetheart deals with lobbyists and major campaign contributors -that’s part of the American way. You don’t think Hillary Clinton’s just gotten by on her looks now, do you?

Sure, Tiger Woods is in every Nike commercial and uses all their stuff. David Wright uses enough Vitamin Water to flush 12 kidneys. But David Lee of the Knicks has now gone ‘a cut above’ the rest. Lee decided to let fans (through his endorsement of Vitamin Water) cast their votes on what hair style he should wear. The overwhelming choice of six thousand Internet responses: A Mohawk. Give the guy credit, Lee was true to his word. I can’t see Derek Jeter agreeing to something like this.

Result: Not the best work with scissors, but infinitely better than that ancient stylist Delilah and her most well known client, Samson. Lee was more fortunate-he had male barbers clipping his tresses, and won’t require a stint on the DL. Lee wound up with a combination Mohawk/Punk look -and he donated some cash to the Garden of Dreams charity.
