San Antonio Spurs guard, Lonnie Walker IV, is opening up about being sexually abused as a child.
In the video, as friends react to Walker's hair being cut off, the Spurs guard details his hair history from middle school through college. On the night he was selected 18th overall in the 2018 NBA Draft, he went viral on social media after his hat wouldn't fully fit on his head when he went up to shake commissioner Adam Silver's hand.
"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 than 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 you're dealt with, and try and make a winning hand. And if you lose. It's never a loss. It's a lesson."The second-year guard ended his post by saying he would be stepping away from social media while wishing everyone"peace, love and happiness." Walker's agent, George Langberg, said in a "This is something that Lonnie has been dealing with for some time now," Langberg wrote.
