OT-- Best Fab Five hairdo
After reading the article on the Fab Five reunion being planned for the Final Four next year on mlive.com (http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/basketball/index.ssf/2009/02/fab_five_t…) and seeing the famous photo of the Fab 5 with Webber sitting on the rim, it brought an important questions to bear: which of the Fab 5 had the best 'do? We're going to have to restrict ourselves to freshman yr only as by the tournament and soph year, most had gone for clean shaven look... The well coiffed UFR on hairdo's :
Chris Webber (-1): Multiple do's. We had the top only, cylinder top, complete bald. Hard to determine. We'll try anyway. +1 for the top only (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?page=dailydime-070112), +1 for complete bald (http://www.blogthecoast.com/sports_insider/2008/03/webbers_retirement_a…). -3 for the cylinder top right before first game (http://www.thedraftreview.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id…)
Jalen Rose (+1): "The Close Shave"... he was Onyx & Dr Dre before they went hardcore. +1 for the close shave before it went main stream. -1 for line in the front (http://www.bouncemag.com/wp-content/Fab%20Five.jpg). +1 for initiating the mr clean before the Duke game.
Jimmy King: (0) meh. Basic fade. (http://www.jamd.com/image/g/283435)
Ray Jackson (+2): power fade with the lines on the side. (http://images.usatoday.com/sports/_photos1/2002-03-28-fab-five5.gif) Accented by thin moustache. +1 for Joe Dumars cloning. +1 for moustache accent.
Juwan Howard (+3): Fresh Prince. Heavy D minus 60 lbs. Classic 90's box top with the van dyke goatee. +1 for resurrecting the Kid n Play, +3 for badass van dyke. -1 for not getting as high as Acie Earl (http://www.thedraftreview.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id…).
So what do you think?

I don't understand how you're gonna give Juwan a +3 for the box top while jacking 3 off my boy C-Webb for that illy cylindrical top.
You're right though, Kind did have the most generic thing going on by far.

Juwan's got a more cylindrical head so the style fits better. Chris's noggin was more circular, so his cylindrical top looks like a sponge on top of an orange.
