Show Notes

When the Atlanta Hawks traded Luka Doncic for the Trae Young and a future first-round pick, an outpour of criticism exploded on social media. From his defensive play to his slender frame, every aspect of Trae Young was picked apart and dissected. However, the most brutal critique and still talked about issue with Trae Young is not about his game—but about his hair.

The Bird, Hair, and Vase explores one of the strangest critiques in the NBA. What if there's more to his hair than we realized? What if Trae Young's hair holds all the power to his transcendent game? In this bizarre, exaggerated episode, we witness the origins, sacrifices, and consequences in dealing with the upcoming rookie's future fuzz.
