Portland Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard decided to playfully troll Yahoo Sports and TNT reporter Chris Haynes for his new hairdo. In Lillard's barb, he took a shot at Haynes by effectively comparing the reporter's haircut to that of former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer.
Haynes himself posted the exchange via Twitter, showing a screenshot containing Lillard's hilarious comment pertaining to Haynes' do:
For some context, Boozer turned himself into a cult legend when he did this to his hair:
In Lillard's mind, Haynes' hairstyle has that similar spray-paint look. Looking at the two side-by-side, we can't help but agree with the Blazers guard.
Much like the rest of the players inside the bubble, Lillard appears to have a lot of time on his hands right now. Not that that's a bad thing, though, with the idle time allowing Lillard to catch up social media.
Lillard and the Blazers were actually back in action on Thursday, taking part in their first scrimmage match inside the bubble. Portland took on the Indiana Pacers, with the Blazers suffering a 91-88 defeat. Lillard showed some signs of rust in his first game back, going just 1-of-5 from the field (all 3-pointers) for four points. The 6-foot-2 point guard did dish out seven dimes in just 20 minutes of action, though, so at least we know that his playmaking is still on point despite the lengthy layoff.
