The Kobe Bryant farewell tour hit Minnesota on Wednesday and one 9-year-old boy went above and beyond to pay tribute to the Los Angeles star.

Marcus McQueen got Kobe's face shaved into the back of head before taking in the Lakers-Timberwolves game.

The haircut was actually nothing compared to what McQueen did to get to the game.
