It's fair to say that Iman Shumpert is "all in" for Adidas*, since he shaved the sportswear seller's symbol into the back of his head. The Association, which doesn't allow other companies' logos to be displayed anywhere besides sneakers, told him to cut it out, figuratively, and he obliged, literally. On Friday, it was fresh and visible, but by Sunday (adi)zero of it remained. The matter quickly became a case of hair today, gone tomorrow.
Because the league's front office got bent out of shape, there's now a triangle-shaped spot missing from his mane. Regardless of if it's a right triangle, the removal doesn't look right. In the two games since he's been to the barber and back, Shumpert is a combined 0-9 from the field and hasn't score a single point^, so the rough patch isn't confined to his coiffure.
*and he even returned to action in a timely manner after tearing his ACL, unlike another endorser, who's waiting for a sign from the big man - and we don't mean Joakim Noah.
^those are the only type of New York bagels that are bad.
