Kobe Bryant Gets a Haircut (2002)
April 21, 2002 - "I've been wanting to change it for, like, two months," Kobe Bryant told reporters following his clean cut 34-point performance in a Game 1 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. "I had an afro for about five and half years. And last night I finally got the courage to cut it off... I feel a lot quicker. I'm shorter though."
