One thing Carlos Boozer will never live down is the night he played in a nationally televised game with what looked like painted on hair. Boozer appeared on Highly Questionable and finally explained what was going on and it’s absolutely hilarious.
You can skip to the 3:30 mark.
Here’s the transcription, via Mark Hinog at SB Nation:
Dan Le Batard: “What was going on with your hair that day?”
Boozer: “Oh man. Man, listen, so … truth be told, as you can tell, I started losing my hair a little bit…”
Bomani: “I know the struggle. I’m with you.”
Boozer: “…they came out with this — it’s like a hair dye, whatever, for men called the ‘bigen.’ Well, I had one guy that was like, ‘Yo, have you ever thought about growing your hair out?’ And I was like, yeah, I was thinking about it, until I saw some of these little bald spots on my head. So, I was like, you know, I just cut my hair off. And so he was telling me that he could — you know, ‘grow your hair out, I could cover it up a little bit, and make it look like you got a regular haircut.’ So I tried it, and he just made myself look like shoe polish up there … this is like five years later, and I’m still hearing about it.”
Bomani: “Oh yeah! You’re gonna hear about it till the end!”
Boozer: “I still get this!”
Bomani: “We’ve been sitting here for 20 minutes trying to figure out how to work it in!
Bomani: “You know, we didn’t want to hurt your feelings! But, you know, it was a thing!”
