NBA All-Long Hair Team

The NBA season is now getting dangerously close to the end, which sucks because I have watched only like 5 games this whole season. But I'll live, I guess. anyway I was thinking the other day about NBA players with long or nasty(or both) hair, and so I looked online to try to figure out my favorite "do" in the NBA. I managed to find so many, I was actually able to create an all long haired NBA squad. I tried to get a real team with a guy from each position, but I couldn't find any point guards with long locks...well, except for the old Nash hairdo, but that's long gone, so I'm not gonna post it
















Just kidding!! I freakin love his ugly mophead way too much not to post these pics. Ironically, I say his hair is ugly, but I've had several people tell me when I have long hair I resemble him (especially when I'm playing basketball, or in Korea...but then again, I look like a girl in Korea too). So maybe I don't look at cool as I think^^

Walter Hermann- For those of you who don't know who my buddy Walt is, I'll have you know he's probably the third best Argentine in the league(behind Manu and Scola). Not only does he have gorgeous blonde hair, he pulls it back into a ponytail, for a truly unique-to-the-league look. Plus, I love it when announcers try to say his name. Is it Her-man, Air-mon, or just like we say Herman here in the US?? He seems like a cool dude too, so it's impossible for me to not like him.


Latrell Sprewell- I know, he's retired, but this was a thing of genius. Only someone as crazy as Spree could've pulled it off. Troy Hudson tried it, but got blackballed from the league or somethin, cause I haven't seen him since.


Mikki Moore- This guy will throw you for a loop, because he looks like a thug, with tats and dreads, but interviews like he graduated from Columbia or something. Sadly, the Jazz didn't re-sign him, because they already had an articulate Stanford grad at center in Jarron Collins. Jerry Sloan was kinda upset about it. Now he plays for the freakin Celtics.


Luis Scola- "The hottest Argentine" is what my friend Matt likes to call him. He's a great player though, I still don't get why the Spurs traded him to an in-state Western conference rival for next to nothing. Stupid move by the Spurs typically savvy front office.





Sasha Vujacic- I hate this wuss, and the only reason I put him on here is to make that known more widely












Anderson Varejao- Crazy curly hair. This is a cool look only if it's natural. If I permed my hair to look like this, people would make fun of me for trying to look gay or something. And Matt already does that.




Drew Gooden- Ok, he doesn't have long hair at all, in fact, there are rumors his hairline has been receding since the third grade. But, the beard was the longest the NBA has seen for decades, so he makes the team.
Plus, last year he sported this gem on the back of his neck...




There a a few other sweet long hairdos that I missed, like Renaldo Balkman and Marquis Daniels, but their hair looks pretty much the same as Mikki Moore's so I didn't bother to put them in.

You've got one ugly team going there, and I don't think they can win without a point guard!

They are better longhaired! It suits to their braveness!
