Dwayne Schintzius Stood Up For His Mullet
And was promptly traded. According to Tampa Bay Online:
Former University of Florida basketball center Dwayne Schintzius, of Brandon High, was the NBA draft’s 24th overall pick in 1990. He liked the San Antonio Spurs and anticipated a long career there. But Spurs general manager Bob Bass didn’t care for Schintzius’ “lobster” hairstyle.
“He told me to cut it,” Schintzius said. “So I got it cut and sent him the shavings in an envelope. I’m not sure he appreciated that. And then, away I went.”
We would say there could be worse reasons for losing a job, but that would be a lie.
THERE IS NO ATHLETE MORE FIT TO REPRESENT THE STATE OF FLORIDA THAN DWAYNE SCHINTZIUS
