John Henson is a joker off the court, but has put in serious work on it

All the elements are there, the mischievous grin and conspiratorial eyes, the wily Pink Panther glances and the tiptoe moves of a grasshopper unfolding his limbs in sneaky silence. Henson's natural lightheartedness also invites joker attacks, such as the occasion a few weeks back when teammates covered his car in Post-it notes. (Winston-Salem Journal)
