It’s extremely difficult to spot Adam Morrison on the court these days because he’s not in the NBA.
However, he finally made an appearance recently during a Brooklyn Nets tryout and boy, does he look different.
In fact, he hasn’t played an NBA minute since April 27, 2010 when the Los Angeles Lakers destroyed the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 5 of the 2010 Western Conference quarterfinals. He played eight minutes in garbage time and scored four points and grabbed three rebounds.
After that game, he received his second championship ring with the Lakers and disappeared off the face of the earth, seemingly.
He had a brief stint with the Washington Wizards, but he was waived before the start of the 2010-11 season.
Unlikely to get a spot on an NBA team, Morrison jetted to the Adriatic League in Europe where he played for Red Star Belgrade and averaged 15.5 points per game and became the team’s top scorer.
He wanted other opportunities the next season so he went to Besiktas Milangaz in Turkey, but later left the team because he didn’t like his playing time.
Yes, folks, Morrison couldn’t get playing time in Turkey, either.
Now, Morrison is trying out for a spot with the Brooklyn Nets, but the bigger news is that he has a crazy new hairdo.
He was always known for his fierce mustache more than his gameplay in the NBA, and now he has the hair to go along with it. He looks more apt to be rockstar Andrew WK’s twin brother than a basketball player at this point.
Well, if we can’t spot him on the court, at least we’ll be able to easily find him on the bench in Brooklyn.
