Lonnie Walker IV, young point guard of the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA , known as one of the most talented players of his generation and an extremely long and distinctive hairstyle, has opened his followers Instagram to explain what has thought for quarantine and why she decided to cut her hair.

The player of 21 years was cut her hair last week, in an attempt he explains now, to cut his losses with some memories of the past . He says that his hair began to grow long when he was in 5th grade (6th grade in Spain), at 10-11 years old, after being " raped, abused and harassed ".

"It was like camouflage for me. During the summer of my 5th grade I was with more family, and I was sexually harassed, raped and abused. I even got used to it, because at that age you don't know what is what . He was a gullible child and Funny that I didn't know what the real world was. And I thought my hairstyle was the only thing I could control. It gave me confidence, "he explains on Instagram.

The young base acknowledges that the confinement due to the coronavirus pandemic has affected him and brought out those past feelings. "I was not at my best. The previous story popped into my head and mentally sucked. I tried to really look in the mirror to find out who he really was. And I have found peace and happiness . I have forgiven all people, even they don't deserve it, because they were a dead weight for me. "

He admits that his hairstyle " was a mask that hid my insecurities ", but that now he is "better than ever". "Out with the old, in with the new."
