NBA Hair Watch: Switch the Style, Chris Bosh

It is with great pleasure that I inaugurate a new FanHouse series, NBA Hair Watch. Today, we'll be visiting with Chris Bosh, who used his time on the shelf as an excuse to change up his hairdo. Described by the National Post as "a head full of tiny Charles Oakley-esque braids," the new look was correctly identified by our own Miss Gossip as "twisties." On the surface, there doesn't appear to be any deeper motivation behind the added flavor:

"No inspiration, just a hairdo, something different, know what I'm sayin'?" he said. "Wild, free. Free, wild."

One could venture that this is the somewhat shy Bosh coming out his shell a bit, getting more comfortable expressing himself as a person and player. It could show that he's been corrupted by thug gangterz while on the shelf, and his career will now plummet accordingly. But your boy Shoals just thinks he's trying to match the heights of style braved by Vladimir Radmanovic in the 2005 Playoffs.

Bosh has also been rocking the stache for a minute now. Not sure how, but the combination looks a lot less intimidating on him than either one would alone. I'm interesting in knowing if this is the rule for all NBA players, or is a function of Bosh's unique appearance.
