Quite often, bobbleheads of athletes do not exactly belong to the realism movement in art. While not quite cubist, there are times the likenesses feel more impressionistic and requires a little squinting to see the player in there. Which leads to guys hearing about it in the locker room.
It’s bobblehead night Wednesday night in New Orleans, and that means Anthony Davis is up.
However, AD likes this one – the first time he has ever liked a bobblehead, he told Jim Eichenhofe of the Pelican’s official website.
First 8,000 fans at tomorrow night's game go home with this AD bobblehead courtesy of @HancockWhitney!

Anthony Davis on new bobblehead at tonight's game: "This is the first one that actually looks like me. The rest, I don’t know who that was."

That is a pretty good likeness.
Next season, if the Pelicans want to do a realistic representation of DeMarcus Cousins, do they need to have the bobblehead looking incredulously at a referee?
