Absolutely no one believes Eric Bledsoe's salon excuse, but it makes for an A+ meme
When Phoenix Suns' point guard Eric Bledsoe got in trouble over a tweet, he tried to use a trip to the hair salon as an excuse.
The team's general manager didn't buy it, but the internet ate it up, Photoshopping Bledsoe's face into a salon chair and having at it with the hair jokes.
After the pro baller wrote "I Dont wanna be here" in a cryptic tweet Sunday night, he got called out by the Suns' upper-ups. He said he was referring to a trip to the salon with his girlfriend, but the Suns' General Manager Ryan McDonough called bull on the excuse. McDonough believes Bledsoe was referring to the team. Rumors have been swirling that Bledsoe wanted out.

In the video above, McDonough told reporters that the 27-year-old "won't be with us going forward." McDonough is in talks to trade Bledsoe with other teams, according to ESPN. This all went down as the Suns shook up their coaching staff, pushing out head coach, Earl Watson, and assistants on Sunday.
Folks on the internet quickly turned Bledsoe's awkward tweet into a full-on meme.
