Shaving your beard during a hitting slump means you're hiding something

Bruce [Bryce] Harper shaved his beard because he's in such a bad slump that he thought, hey, I'm just going to change up my look... Anytime someone's like, hey, I'm going to get a haircut, shaving your beard, you're hiding something.

Opinion Baseball Medium Subjective

The idea that a haircut is a cover-up for a 'hidden' issue is a classic sports superstition and impossible to verify.

Luka Doncic is the best NBA prospect ever

I'm officially a Luka guy. I've never seen a second of film of him... I'm going to go with best prospect ever.

Hot Take Basketball Hot

Luka became one of the greatest young players in NBA history. While 'best ever' is debatable against LeBron or Kareem, he is certainly in the top tier of all-time prospects in hindsight.
