Things got a little out of hand yesterday on KNBR 680 as Tom Tolbert and Ray Ratto‘s weekly on-air discussion with Draymond Green devolved into an agreement to grow out their hair should the Golden State Warriors win another championship next June.
[CLICK ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT ARROWS ABOVE FOR THE PHOTO GALLERY SLIDESHOW]At first, Tolbert mentioned that he didn’t recognize Andrew Bogut, who lost 20 pounds from his 260-lb frame, from where Tolbert was sitting for the radio broadcast at the previous preseason home game.
That led to Tolbert also saying he didn’t recognize Klay Thompson due to the new facial hair Thompson was sporting.
Which led to Tolbert remarking that Green pretty much “stayed with the same old Draymond look.”
From there, it went on like this…
Tolbert: If you had to go something, could you go afro like a big Oscar Gamble-like afro or could you go full beard? [NOTE: See photo of Gamble in the Indians jersey in the photo gallery above.]
Green: I had that back in the day (afro). [NOTE: See Green’s family portrait in the photo gallery above.] I can get both of them, but I ain’t trying to get in either one of them.
Tolbert: Oh come on, give me one. How about if you win a championship this year, you come back the following year with a big ‘fro?
Green: I might come back with a bald head.
…
Tolbert: You win a championship this year, you come back either bald or afro.
Green: No, I’m not ready to go bald yet, I don’t think. Not just yet.
Ratto: I tell you what, you go afro if Tommy goes afro.
Tolbert: I can’t go afro!
Ratto: You can. You’ll look like Granville Waiters. [NOTE: See photo of Waiters in the Buckeyes jersey, with the afro-slash-bald head, above in the photo gallery.]
Tolbert: I can’t go afro, though. I’ll tell you what. I’ll grow it out. It’ll be the most hideous thing you’ve ever seen. Everybody’s already laughing already (in the KNBR studio). That’s another reason. Everybody around here’s already gonna be rooting for the Warriors, now they’ll really be rooting for them to see me grow my hair out.
Green: Alright, cool. So we win the championship, I grow a afro and from the day we win championship — I’ll go even longer, but you gotta keep your hair ’til after the first preseason game.
Tolbert: Oh wow, that’s rough. That is rough. Alright, alright, we’ll do it.
Ratto: You realize, of course, he’ll be rooting for you guys to lose in the Finals?
Tolbert: No, I’ll do it. I’ll do it. That’s gonna be sick. That’ll be sick. I mean, yours will look good. Mine will look sickening, but I’ll do it.
Green: Mine will look pretty bad, too, but we’ll figure it out.
Tolbert: Alright, alright, we’ll do it. You know what else we’ll do? We’ll perm Ray’s moustache so he’ll have like a curly moustache like Avery Schreiber. [NOTE: See comedian Schreiber’s photo with the guitar in the gallery above.]
Ratto: I don’t think that’ll have the same effect.
Tolbert: No, probably not.
[NOTE: “blazing pubes” ommitted due to TMI]Shortly after the on-air “bet”, Tolbert confirmed on Twitter the sickening thought of him growing out his air and the potential resemblance to Chris Kaman:
That may not be to far off…..Egads! https://t.co/xSTBr9pSC3
