10. Michael Beasley
Beasley's afro was short lived like his stay in Miami, but you gotta give the dude credit for this well groomed creation. It's a shame Beasley wasn't around in the 70s as he would have fit right in with this 'do and his off the court habits.
9. Allen Iverson
Iverson may be the biggest case of "what could have been" in afro history. Renowned for his cornrows, Iverson let it loose in this SLAM '98 cover and gave fans a glimpse of what it would have looked like if it was ever unleashed. Straight hood.
8. Marouane Fellaini
Fellaini has been repping the afro for a number of years now, and it has gained him quite a reputation as well as quite a following. The Belgian's hair has entrenched him in Everton folklore and at every game there are fans rocking a Fellaini wig, and I can't blame them that mop is something to be jealous of.
7. Kobe Bryant
Not the greatest photo, but the Kobe mini-fro from the late '90s- early 2000's may be my personal favorite of all time . Getting rid of the afro was the worst mistake Kobe ever made, besides pissing off Shaq, and theres no doubt that he should still bring it back.
6. Moochie Norris
Pair one of the greatest afros of all time with one of the greatest names of all time, and you should get an all time great right? Sadly, that wasn't the case with Moochie who finished with a career average of 5.1 ppg. Shoulda just let his fro do the talking.
5. Josh Childress
Childress has been sporting the throwback afro since his college days at Stanford and hes been doing it in style. Bonus points for taking the 'fro overseas during his time in Greece.
4. CoCo Crisp
Crisp's afro was straight up throwback, and it served as a reminder of the lack of classic hairdos present in the pros today. And the hat as hard as it may try is not containing that afro, and props to Crisp for that.
3. Randy Moss
Moss repped the I don't give a fuck afro better than anyone else ever. And all I can say about it is, straight cash homie.
2. Ben Wallace
Wallace rocked then afro longer than anyone I can remember and he deserves a "Lifetime Afro Achievement Award" or something. His 'fro has even been given multiple shout outs in rap songs, now that is what I call afro connoisseur.
1. Dr. J
The Godfather, the leader of a movement, what ever you want to call him there is no denying Dr. J as the all time afro king.Think of the word afro, and Erving just pops right into your head. Just look at it, precisely shaped, impeccable volume. Just perfect.
