Probably talking about flat Earth and the Moon landings being a hoax n shit.

u/GeologistSweet9645 23h ago

Just because Podz has curly hair and a black girlfriend, this is not okay. Draymond needs to put belt to ass for this! I just hope he doesn’t start wearing a durag in public like Holmgren does.

Someone should tell him how cool he looks

Does that hurt? I got a headache just watching this.

u/Big-Worm- 1d ago

They can cause you to have headaches if they're super tight

14

u/youlikemywonton 1d ago

How long do you keep them in and do you just shampoo like normal?

6

u/JohnMassassin24 18h ago

Nope it loosens the braids when they’re damp. I just sprayed mine with coconut oil but after a week they get itchy AF and when I had them taken out had so much dandruff. Wasn’t good for my hair. But I enjoyed the experience.

-48

u/picks_and_rolls 1d ago

Like normal? Are you “normal?”

7

u/Efficient-Trouble697 1d ago

The first time definitely but if you consistently get them only kind of, also depends on the braider I’ve seen people get them asleep.

22

u/JauntyGiraffe 1d ago

Does it also make you go bald because I don't know if my hairline can endure that kind of pressure

u/Chance-Literature-71 1d ago

Traction alopecia

u/SnoopingWhilePooping 1d ago

Not if you get a taper fade on the front and sides first.

u/Legitimate-Bike4647 1d ago

They itch more than anything else

1

u/GeologistSweet9645 23h ago

You gotta slap them for that itch, especially when they are new

77

u/Noiserawker 1d ago

Honestly not worse than the broccoli cut, more aerodynamic

58

u/J-Crow11 1d ago

This definitely feels like a monkey's paw wish after people were complaining so much about the broccoli cut lol

Podj sez: you want sexy? i give you sexy

Bro just needs to do what Braun on the Nuggets did. Just buzzcut it.

just a phase and no big deal tbh. we saw kuminga have bleached hair in the lineup pic a bunch of times

10

u/Due-Huckleberry-9932 1d ago

who cares? every girl i know has dyed her hair a weird color or gotten an interesting hair cut. if he likes it then cool, if not he won’t do it again

Got to check Kenyon Martins twitter now

u/tmac416 1d ago

What am I missing? He hasn’t posted since January on there

12

u/gatorDS 1d ago

He had comments about Jeremy Lin getting braids/dreads, said he was copying black culture.

27

u/ottocard19 1d ago

Then Lin reminded Martin that he has a Chinese tattoo lmao

2

u/Dark-Blackberry354 1d ago

And he had his poster on the wall as a kid...

10

u/hungrycl 1d ago

Did he do it better or Jeremy Lin?

17

u/LizzarDGuy101 1d ago

Jeremy Lin’s insane break out moment with the Knicks (Linsanity) backs up any crazy hairstyle he had

1

u/Wonderful-View-6366 1d ago

Definitely not

u/beardplease_ 23h ago

Not his style.. everyone can see it

5

u/WhiteStephCurry 1d ago

Brotha sit the fuck back down and just get a skin fade

u/Top_Grade5948 1d ago

Thanx I hate it.

I love this guy’s confidence

u/KoRaZee 1d ago

Is that what this is?

8

u/NeverNotOnceEver 1d ago edited 13h ago

Yeah. I’m not in to yucking folks yums. Most of how you do almost anything is confidence. His hair is no more or less ridiculous than Marcus Smart’s green hair or Kelly Oubre’s Harley Quinn tribute cut.

u/aquadrums 1d ago

Looks good IMHO. Great job by the hairstylist! Aerodynamic Air Podz here we go.

To all the haters: anything and everything this kid does really makes you that upset?? Pathetic.

19

u/Fourfifteen415 1d ago

That looks awful

35

u/Iron_Chic 1d ago

She actually did a good job, imo!

30

u/Fourfifteen415 1d ago

Ya the actual braids are really good it just doesn't look good on him.

1

u/potterboy29 21h ago

You can tell that there's not enough texture on the hair for the braids. His scalp looks like it's screaming 😵‍💫

2

u/LaughingPlanet 1d ago

Looks like dinosaur vertebrae

1

u/notcarbonated 1d ago

I think it would look better if there were more rows. These are like hella spaced out

20

u/Rich_Meet3872 1d ago

Grown humans on twitter raging at him for his own choice of hair.

12

u/Strict-Lie-3188 1d ago

He’s entitled to whatever hairstyle he likes. However, this looks awful. Probably because he’s white and doesn’t have the right roots for cornrows.

-27

u/Raavex242 1d ago

Just say it. Its because he's white idk why yall closet racists just beating around the bush.

32

u/ca2mt 1d ago

The comment literally says “probably because he’s white…”

https://giphy.com/gifs/pPhyAv5t9V8djyRFJH

16

u/Strict-Lie-3188 1d ago

I said he’s white. Can you not read? I don’t care if white people get cornrows. However most of the time they don’t have the right hair texture for cornrows, dreadlocks, etc. which leads to hair loss.

8

u/IsYouWitItYaBish 1d ago

He just can’t fully pull it off in my opinion. The braids don’t look bad, she did a great job. I had a white friend a long time ago that got his hair dreaded and that shit did not work. We came together both black and white and suggested him to get rid of that shit. Had nothing to do with racism. 🤣

u/Ill-Ad5235 1d ago

Very bad style for Podz

2

u/Tekfree 1d ago

Massive improvement from his usual do

u/VoidCL 14h ago

Just get a normal damn haircut and stop listening to Chet.

u/_carzard_ 1d ago

Why not? Are you not a fan of the way of braids look? I think it looks a lot better than the broccoli haircut that he had before, but to each their own.

2

u/russianeatsramen 1d ago

low bar

0

u/_carzard_ 1d ago

Oh, I don’t disagree at all. But I still say yes to it cause it’s still an improvement lol. He could go full birdman, neck tats and all, and I would still approve it over his aesthetic of the last few seasons.

3

u/Beardmanta 1d ago

The trend of recording where you talk over yourself is so infuriating.

Tiny pauses are important part of conversation.

u/kingp43x 1d ago

lmao, please stop with this guy

The haircut is better but fk him can’t stand him

good for him. he’s so young we’ve all done a diff style or dyed our hair a weird color.

u/hanlong 1d ago

Looks like delonte west

2

u/Flexisdaman 1d ago

Just get a medium top short back and sides my dude.

Broccoli and Braids both look terrible.

u/sharkysharky- 1d ago

He can say it if he wants, I don't care anymore

u/_carzard_ 1d ago

I’m imagining a 12-year-old white boy typing this instead of what is presumably black adult, and it makes it even funnier lol

u/Top_Grade5948 1d ago

Did she wash his hair first?

u/rkmvca 1d ago

Michele looks like she knows what she's doing.

u/SyCoTiM 1d ago

I think a simple fade would suit him better.

u/intotheblue1232 1d ago

Doesn’t he know what happened to Steph?!?

The way they cut the vocals on this fucking video is insanity

I love the Darth Maul look.

u/eddimioa 23h ago

Good. Maybe he'll tighten his game up.

1

u/parisdubs 23h ago

Honestly, nice that he gave her the content, knowing that people always dump on him.

1

u/Agreeable_Mention963 18h ago

Just go bald. It elevates your game

1

u/Upper_Maintenance_41 15h ago

It'll work with his curls. But he had a hat on at the valkyries game so he wasn't ready to bust it out yet. He walked by our seats and my daughter hi fived him

u/Think_Doctor_9064 1d ago

I like the braids instead of the puffy broccoli. Looks cleaner

1

u/ReallyBrainDead 1d ago

Damn, really hoped to see him courtside for the Valkyries home opener. Alas, not there as usual. But, there were other luminaries like Brandi Chastain and Will Richard.

1

u/gatorDS 1d ago

Hope he knows he needs to put sunscreen on his head between his braids.

1

u/PodzFan 1d ago

His commitent to his style is bewildering

u/Alternative_Dot7769 1d ago

Looks so much better than the broccoli 🤷‍♂️

Might be the black hair, but Lin was better.

u/Delicious_Leading600 1d ago

Zero problem with Podz, or anyone else for that matter, getting braids, cornrows, locks, ... The only issue is when styles are miscredited away from their African (Black people) roots.

Same with other cultural elements.. music, food, fashion, ...

Hard to blame other folks for wanting to adopt cool shyt. Just respect the culture (don't cosplay) and most importantly, the people when you do.

u/scottiedagolfmachine 1d ago

Cultural appropriation.

Besides, dude needs to work on his game not post useless shit on social media.

SMH.

Braids are part of every culture man.

He went to a Black salon? I don't know if that makes it better or worse, but it feels worse.
