With the release of "Semi-Pro" and March Madness descending upon us, one question looms large: Why has basketball played host to so many horrendous hairdos? Most players (at least the professionals) have the cash for stylists who can give tonsorial tips, and yet for every fantastic collection of locks such as Artis Gilmore's, there's also a Larry Bird "$5 Special" that looks like it dropped from the wrong end of a Flowbee.
Maybe it's because ballers are so tall they think no one will notice what's on top of their heads. But we do, and we're concerned.
Who did we miss? Let us know.

To me Larry Bird's hair looked normal. As for that bird's nest on Gilmore's head....I'm surprised he didn't have blue jays crapping on his head.

I don't know why Rick Barry was up there, unless they were looking for another white man to cut down to keep the black crybabies from screaming "racism!!!!!". His hair looked normal too.

some of the people you guyz talked about in the photos I would agree with but half of these hair styles may be part of their culture, it may satisfy them, or it could be team spirit...the writings in some of the basketball players hair is nice and some teens look up to that...how bout if some one made pictures of some the styles they didnt like in your hair...how would that make you feel....just kdding...the pics are halarious!!!!!!!
