The heart beneath Carlo Sharma's hairstyle.

You're surely wondering why Carlo Sharma is looking more and more like one of the 12 apostles and less and less like a fearsome PBA enforcer. He's not copying Bad-Beard-Boys like Baron Davis or James Harden. Carlo's reason for growing his hair and beard is much more poignant.

Carlo's long-time barber, who also happens to be his long-time friend, passed away recently. And Carlo vows that no one else will touch his hair and beard for the remainder of the season. As a tribute to his barber and friend. As a sign that deep inside a 6'7" bruiser's frame, a heart mourns. MH
