ATLANTA – This was one cut that shocked the Knicks. Hipster no more, Lou Amundson’s trademark ponytail has been shorn.
When reporters walked into Knicks shootaround at Philips Arena on Tuesday, at first glance it looked like the club had just signed a new big man sporting a crew cut.
But it was the formerly long-haired Amundson, hoisting jumpers with a hairstyle he hadn’t worn since his freshman year at UNLV. Amundson got the buzzcut at the Knicks training facility Monday before the team boarded a flight to Atlanta.
“It was fun to get reactions from my teammates,’’ Amundson said.
