Hair ball: Warning NBA fans: The 'do' is coming to a town near you, and so is Adam Morrison.
Byline: Brian Schmitz
Jul. 12--Charlotte Bobcats rookie Adam Morrison flits around the court practically nonstop at RDV Sportsplex, his flowing, shaggy hair trailing his wiry body.
He's running to a corner one moment and then sharply weaves through players under the basket, all sharp angles and motion at 6 feet 8, eyes always on the ball.
Always. The ball and Morrison are never apart for long, and haven't been since he was shooting a Nerf ball as a toddler.
He has a sense about him when he plays: It's as if he's the only one on the floor.
Morrison is not classified as selfish, but at times, teammates appear to be just friendly shadows and stronger defenders mere nuisances.
He led Division I basketball in scoring as a junior at Gonzaga University last season with 28.1 points a game for a reason. It's all about Morrison finding the ball and the ball finding Morrison, and he receives it with one objective in mind:
