Forget Ironman Jackson and all the other players that were shipped in, out, or sideways over the summer. Memphis’s fate this season all hinges on one thing: Pau Gasol’s amazing new non-metrosexual beard.
Gasol is sporting a full beard, and references to Grizzly Adams appeared lost on him. Asked about the new look — and he was asked over and over — Gasol said: “I’m not into the metrosexual look, I’m not into the caveman look. I’m me, myself. I haven’t felt like shaving for the last three weeks.”
Three weeks? THREE? We estimate it would take us 27 months to grow that, and we’d still need a magic marker to fill in most of it.
Predicted record: 40-42
If Pau shaves: 0-82
