And I call for the reinstatement of the Big fro. Who other than Ben Wallace rocks one nowadays? It can really be a competitive advantage, as it blocks your opponents view of the action/rim. Wallace isn't really that great of a defensive player, compare his stats with and without the fro and you'll see. :wink:

Imagine Ray, KG, Paul, Rondo, and Perk all with huge FROs. They already shaved their heads together at the beginning, now grow it out!

I think that was just an opinion piece, not a legit call for the end of cornrows.

Thankfully "the Commish" is only some bloke named Vincent Thomas. Yup, mere opinion. Would be racist coming from the NBA Commish.

I can only think of Haslem and Big Ben. It's not as popular a hairstyle as it once was.

Josh Cilldress sports a fro though not as hip as Big Ben's.
