The Slick Watts Award
... given to the hoopster with the best hair





Nominee No. 1: Allen Iverson
Whether resembling swimming lanes or crop circles, the Sixers shooting guard's corn rows are arguably the best-known locks in the league. Like his tattoos, Ivy's hair speaks to the energy and creativity he possesses on the court.





Nominee No. 2: Steve Nash
Although Nash recently brought his shaggy 'do under control (check out his player page to see how wild his hair once was), it still takes on a life of its own when the free-wheeling point guard starts flying up and down the court. The rock-star 'cut hearkens back to the golden age (read: 70's) of terrycloth headbands and bowl haircuts.





Nominee No. 3: Moochie Norris
In Houston, Stevie might be the Franchise, but Moochie is the Rockets' mane man. Norris is normally a 6-1 point guard, but when his hair is adequately teased, he magically transforms into a 6-6 swingman. Moochie gets extra points for versatility (he also wears his hair in corn rows) and his on-the-court dance moves.





Nominee No. 4: Latrell Sprewell
Spree has been wearing his hair in braids for roughly as long as any other pro hoopster currently in the league. During the Knicks' Finals run in 1999, the high-flying guard became the face of New York basketball thanks in no small part to his trademark corn rows.





Nominee No. 5: Ben Wallace
Wallace's hair is among the most versatile in the league. The Pistons big man has been known to wear his hair in braids, dreadlocks, or as a high-rising afro that pushes the 6-9 forward well over the 7-0 mark.

ABOUT SLICK WATTS:
While former pro hoopster Donald "Slick" Watts was renowned for his tough D and heady play during his career, he was perhaps best known as being the first NBA player to turn a bald head into a fashion statement. For Watts, who played during the disco 70's (1973-79), having no hair was about as fashionable as high shorts are in today's league. Yet Watts preservered, and turned his shiny dome into a trademark look. Because Watts took a bold fashion risk, and because the risk paid off, the award is named after Seattle's true "king dome."
