The Drubbing

Taking the fro-hawk to a whole new level

My colleague Nate and i were talking about the new look in the NBA, the ‘fro-hawk.  This year’s afro-mohawk look has taken over for last year’s fashionable sleeves look.  Hopefully Nate will dive into this with more detail in an article that has taken longer to go post than Chinese Democracy.  What i want to focus on, is Ron Artest.  We are so busy focusing on all the negative aspects of his brawling, rap career, and other incidents that we forget about his style.  Yes, his style.

Watching the Rockets lay the smack down on the LA Lakers last night, i was pleasantly surprised by Ron taking things to the next level.  Sure, he had the fro-hawk.  But he added his own little bit of style to it.  On one side is an intricate design, on the other the Rockets Team Logo.  Now that my friends, is mixing some team pride with the newest trend in the NBA.  I thought i was cool in 9th grade when my braces had rubber bands the same color as my school (OK maybe i was the only one who thought that), but Ron has found some artist to bring back a little retro late 80′s look mixed with today’s hot new style.

And for that, i am rooting on the Rockets.
