PHOTO: Raptors' James Johnson gets his Dennis Rodman on, dyes hair red
Maybe James Johnson was tired of not getting noticed by Toronto Raptors head coach Dwane Casey.
On Wednesday, ahead of his team's game against the Charlotte Hornets, Johnson made sure his presence on Casey's bench would be impossible to ignore, dying his hair a deep, Raptors red.

Johnson, however, claims attention isn't the aim here.
"I just wanted a change," he said. "I don't want the spotlight on me or my head or nothing like that, but just a change for myself."
Faced with the inevitable Dennis Rodman comparisons, Johnson was humbled.
"Yeah, shoot, I wish I could play like Rodman, that man's a beast. But if that's what's gonna help I'll dye it different colors every day."
Fine by us.
