The Cornrows Era Is Over

JO shaved his last season. So did Rip. Even Kwame got shorn.

Now Carmelo has chopped his locks, leaving The Answer as virtually the only iconic player still committed to the braids. (Eddy Curry is more “prominent” than “iconic.” Udonis and Josh Boone are the only two others I can even come up with.)

UPDATE: Ben Wallace, Turiaf and Nene still rock em as well.

Since it was essentially Allen and Spree that started the cornrow pandemic back in the day, it seems fitting that he is its last notable proponent of a cultural style that once seemed near-ubiquitous in this League.

Brad Miller cries a single tear for the end of the cornrow era.
