Whatever happened to dressing nice and being prepared for work?  It’s almost like in Major League Baseball.  You’ve got the mops of the Red Sox and the prim and proper facials of the Yankees.  Though I guess the mops seem to be working lately.

Perhaps that’s the mentality in the NBA?  Just completely let yourself go?  Hell, look like a hobo.  Perhaps try and covet the “Prisoner of War” look.  Or simply let your beard grow so you can hang out with ZZ Top.

Whatever these players are thinking, I’m sure it’s not “I want to look good today.”  And if it is, God help them.

Here is the All-NBA Facial Hair team

Drew Gooden

I have no clue what he’s going for here.

Ricky Davis

Now that’s one hell of a duo right there.

Adam Morrison

What a tool.

Scott Pollard

There should be an entire site dedicated to this guy.  This appears to be Pollard’s latest look.  But he’s had the chops, blond hair, braided beard.  You name it.

Pau Gasol

If Paul is going for the Prisoner of War look, then he’s succeeded admirably.

Baron Davis 

When you’re nickname is “The Beard” it’s pretty impressive.

DeShawn Stevenson

By the way DeShawn.  You’re not good!

Brian Skinner

Yeah OK there buddy.  Blond thing?  I don’t get it.

Marc Gasol

Do not try and follow in  your brother’s footsteps Marc.  Bad idea.

Gregg Popovich

Bums coaching in the NBA now?  Stop it with these statements already.
