Pretty cool article from TBW on the Pelicans' personal barber, Fat Cal

Put aside the fact Davis spends his nights dancing to Michael Jackson video games for a moment, and focus on the the man dancing next to him. His name is Calvin Doherty, or as most know him as, Fat Cal, the Pelicans' personal barber.

He's been cutting hair since 1992, when he was 12 years old. Cal, with his perfectly maintained goatee, says he’s cut a majority of NBA players’ hair throughout the years, including the likes of Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul, but Davis’ relationship with Cal is stronger than most people have with their hairstylist.

"This past year was really the first time I started [consistently] cutting his hair, and now we talk almost every day, you know, he’s a great friend," Cal said.

But no other Pelican has a relationship with Cal like Davis does.

"I've watched him help all kinds of people," Cal said. "He loves to do things with the kids. He loves the people's character [in New Orleans]. He loves New Orleans culture. Just real humble, he ain't gonna say too much. He's just a big ole kid."
