聖安東尼奧馬刺隊的側翼Lonnie Walker公開了自己的髮型以及剪髮的背後意義。

在他的NBA生涯的頭兩年中，關於Lonnie Walker IV 的最有名的特色可能是他獨特的「鳥窩」髮型。

他是馬刺建隊不可或缺的一份子，他的特殊造型讓他在球場上特別吸睛。

然而，這位21歲年輕人在IG發布影片，與大家分享這個髮型背後對他來說特別的意義，而他又為何決定剪掉他。

他寫道：「在我五年級的暑假期間，我和家人在一起。」 「有些名字會在我心裏難以抹去。我受到了性騷擾，強暴，虐待，甚至習慣了，因為在那個年齡，你不知道那是什麼。我是一個容易受騙的好奇孩子，不知道真實世界是什麼樣子。我的心態是我的頭髮是我可以控制的，我的頭髮是我可以創造的屬於我的東西。這給了我信心。」

Walker還說，由於武漢肺炎，他沒有處於最佳狀態，並關在家看著鏡子裡的自己，最終在此過程中找到了平靜。

「我甚至寬恕了所有人，儘管那些人不值得我原諒，因為它很沈重。時間不會等待任何人，所以我為什麼要浪費時間（在那些人身上）呢？我剪頭髮不僅僅是剪頭髮。我的頭髮掩蓋了我隱藏的不安，我覺得我還沒有準備好面對這個世界。但是現在比以前好多了。昨日種種譬如昨日死，今日種種譬如今日生，我在精神，情感，身體和精神上都蛻變了。生活永遠很艱難。一定打好手上的那副牌，並嘗試贏得勝利。失敗不會萬劫不復，失敗為成功之母。」

Lonnie Walker的新髮型十分俐落，側面有一個十字架。希望他髮型的名氣不會蓋過他的表現。

能夠和大家分享這種悲劇故事並非易事，但他的勇氣，以及他在此過程中獲得內心安定的力量，應該受到讚賞。

The real truth as to why i started doing this early 5th grade, it was a cloaking device for me. During the summer of my 5th grade year I was around more family. Some that names will be left alone I was around more. I was sexually harassed, raped, abused, I even got accustomed to it because being at that age you don’t know what is what. I was a gullible curious kid that didn’t know what the real world was. I had a mindset that my hair was something that I can control. My hair was what I can make and create and be mine. And it gave my confidence. As of recently I wasn’t at my best. Previous History popping up in my head and it sucked mentally “demons”..... because of this virus, I began to truly look at myself in the mirror and see who I truly was even behind closed doors. Long story short I have found peace and internal happiness through this journey god willingly. I forgave everyone even the people that don’t deserve it why? Because it’s dead weight. Time doesn’t wait on anyone so why should I waste my time on it ? Me cutting my hair was more than a cut. My hair was a mask of me hiding the insecurity’s that I felt the world wasn’t ready for. But now better then ever. Out with old. In with the new. I have shed my skin mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Life will always be hard. Gotta play with the cards your dealt with and try and make a winning hand. And if you lose. It’s never a lost. It’s a lesson . I’m gonna be off this for awhile still growing through this. Just know I love each and everyone one of y’all. Peace love and happiness
