Now that the Warriors have been eliminated from the postseason, Harrison Barnes has some free time and he'll use it to sign stuff for free. As a token of thanks to fans, Barnes announced on Facebook he will give his autograph away gratis this summer. The second-year player from Ames, Iowa aims to please.
You name it and he'll write his name on it. The memorabilia must be mailed to his P.O. box, along with an explanation of why you want him to scrawl on your souvenirs (because you can't afford an inscription from Harrison Ford isn't an acceptable answer). He does caution there could be delays due to his TV viewing and video game playing (apparently, his first duty is to Call of Duty), so senders might not receive their object until the fall if Barnes is immersed in Titanfall.
His policy puts some pressure on the similarly surnamed Matt Barnes - and his teammates, too (David Lee will have to waive his fee and Andre Iguodala will stop charging top dollar). Still, this is no small gesture by the small forward For starters (which, he's not), it's a great way to forge a friendship with followers* (you can call him your "nonPayPal"). Secondly, it's a smart strategy to stand out on social media. This could become Barnes' signature move.
*and us if he'd be willing to forge Stephen Curry's John Hancock on a jersey
