Just Call Him Twinkletoes

More proof that Tyler Hansbrough seems more like a Duke guy than a North Carolina guy: He gets pedicures!

Ginyard talked All-America forward Tyler Hansbrough into going with him to the salon last summer, and the muscular sophomore is now a regular. "It's just something that feels good,'' said the 6-foot-9 Hansbrough, who tends to get extra work done on his right foot.

Forward Danny Green has a less enlightened view on the clipping and the scrubbing and the whatever-the-heck-else they do in there.

"It was nice, but I don't know if I'm going to have too many of those,'' he said. "There were a lot of girls in there, and it felt real feminine, kinda. We were reading magazines, and all they had there were Cosmos and stuff like that."

We don't know if society has progressed to the point that male pedicures have lost their stigma — though if you see pretty much any guy's feet, you know they probably should — but we're pretty sure A-Rod get them. Not much question about that, actually.
