Dreadlocks

you bastard.

...and the answer is yes

DeMarre Carroll of Missouri had some wild dreads.

Also the PG on LSU this year (Hickey?) and I think one other player on that team.  McCallum on UWM.

In the NBA there is also Marquis Daniels, Nene and formerly Chris Bosh.

  Perhaps you could throw Buycks in there--nowhere near Crowder in terms of length, but probably on the short list. 

Dwight didn't have dreads - he had cornrows.

God, you people are white!

I always thought it was because in football, it is harder to show your identity because your helmet really covers a lot.  In football, it used to be that you could stand out by having dreads (although everyone has them now), so that people could ask, "hey, who's the guy with dreads?".  In basketball, your full face is exposed, so you can just ask, "hey, who's the guy who looks like an easter island statue?" (DJO) or "hey, who is the guy who looks like he should be in fat albert's junkyard crew?" (gardner)

Well, if people are doing dreads for Crowder on Senior night that means someones got to do a really large distinguished chin for DJO.

Too much work for the marketing program.

Only would happen if Tommy were here.

Jae's hair is braided. Not reallt dreadlocks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreadlocks

Over the past few years I rember a few opponents.  Renaldo Balkman of South Carolina.  One of the players on Dayton--can't recall his name.  Perhaps you could throw Buycks in there--nowhere near Crowder in terms of length, but probably on the short list.  I'm sure there are a few more one could find with a bit of searching.   But, you're right, it does seem to be less prominent.

London Warren.  Pretty entertaining player for lacking much talent.  Must have been the dreads.

F*ckin' sports the licelocks.

LOL!

Tommy didn't allow dreads, braids, or cornrows.  Had to keep it clean.  All about the image...

I got a little bored...

personally, I've always thought DJO looked like Sebulba, the pod-racer from Episode I

Didn't one of the dudes on that Missouri team that beat us in the NCAA tourny 2009 have dreads.

He was pretty good if I recall (damnit).
