The 20 Ugliest Hairdos in the NBA from Last Decade

Sometimes NBA players sport hairstyles that would easily get teased in a sixth-grade classroom.

Why these athletes allow their hair to grow to the longest extremities is beyond our scope of knowledge. 

Other players have the misfortune of having a bald spot because of old age. That's not their fault, but it's still ridiculously ugly.

Whether it's because of ego or nature, these 20 guys should consider just sticking to a regular buzz-cut.

Please note that this list only consists of active players that either play in the NBA or in Europe. As a result, you will not find Dennis Rodman here. 

20. Ben Wallace

Big Ben Wallace once became identified by his massive fro. Although it looks cool to most, the thought of maintaining that thing makes me cringe. 

19. Marc Gasol

Marc Gasol makes this list and his brother, Pau, does not because at least Pau's hair looks tamed and smooth.

Marc's just looks like a caveman's. It does symbolize their playing styles, though. Pau is the softie while Marc is the aggressive beast. 

18. Steve Nash

That hairstyle has always made Steve Nash look like a girl.

Maybe it's the reason why scouts never really recognized his talent back in the day.

They were too busy trying to look past his horrific hair. 

17. Mike Miller

Okay, maybe this isn't that terrible of a hairdo, but when you look at how he looks now with the Miami Heat, you may want to reconsider.

He actually looks pretty decent now. So what the hell was up with that hair?

16. Sasha Vujacic

Maria Sharapova might've liked it, but Phil Jackson once made him cut it before training camp, stating "Vujacic played with his hair more than he played on the court." 

And considering the fact that Jackson has 11 rings, we're going to trust him on this one that Vujacic had a terrible hairdo. 

15. Luis Scola

His Steve Perry look just doesn't work in 2012. 

14. Chris Anderson

Hey Birdman, just like your nickname, game and tattoos, your hair isn't cool.

Your body is not a canvas and your head should not be shaped like the onion volcano from your local Japanese restaurant. 

13. Adam Morrison

Come on baby, light my fire!

12. Darius Morris

Darius Morris' barber gave his client an asymmetric haircut.

Sadly, Morris probably asked him to make it like that.

I know for a fact I would never walk into a job interview with the left side of my head partially shaved off. 

11. Brandon Jennings

Straight from an '80s sitcom.

Remember Waldo Faldo from Family Matters?

10. Chris Kaman

No word if opponents ever complained about getting their hand stuck in that thing or if his violently swinging hair would slap them in the face as they were trying to make a stop. 

9. Anderson Varejao

No Anderson, you can't pull off the Valderrama.

8. Chris Bosh

Those dreads kind of made Chris Bosh look like a dinosaur when he played for the Toronto Raptors.

But just because your team's mascot is a dinosaur, it doesn't mean you have to look like one. 

7. Dirk Nowitzki

This might've been cool in Germany, but it just doesn't work in America. 

Dirk soon realized this but his hair still makes people uncomfortable. It's pretty obvious why he gets points in the paint even though he's not a physical guy. 

He just gets the ball, starts moving around, and his hair impedes his defender's vision. 

6. Andrei Kirilenko

Andrei Kirilenko's game has diminished recently.

Maybe it's because he has Bieber Fever and that's just not as intimidating as resembling Ivan Drago (as he used to).

5. Manu Ginobili

The iconic image that makes us realize just how old the San Antonio Spurs are year after year. 

4. Metta World Peace

This might've been cool if Dennis Rodman hadn't done it a million times. 

3. Drew Gooden

You missed a spot. 

2. Lamar Odom

At first, I thought that Lamar Odom had gotten a tattoo on his head and it took me three years to realize that it was actually a star shaved on his head. 

I don't know who's more stupid—me for thinking it was a tattoo or Lamar for doing it.

1. Andrew Bogut

I'm sorry. No.

That's not called being unique, that's called being stupid.
