    I know this is pretty stupid, but did anybody notice that Kobe used to be NAAAAAAAASTY when he had his little fro? Now he has that clean cut, and he's doing good, but damn, he used to be sick when he had the fro.

    Before he got married, he stuck with that nappy afro, but since he got married to Vanessa, he always had that clean cut shaved look. Maybe Vanessa had a say in it. [​IMG]

    Ain't nuttin' wrong with rockin a fro. I thought Kobe looked better with his from.

    I like the 'Fro ine the winter but spring and summer gotta be cut close.

    my theory is he started cutting his fro down cuz he wanted to look more like jordan. if you start to notice, his hair has been getting shorter and shorter... eventually we're going to see a bald Kobe. hehe

    Yeah he looks better with a fro, and he's probably more marketable with a fro too so I dunno what his wife was thinking.

    I always thought he shaved the 'fro off because to bring luck to him and the Lakers in the Playoffs...If you recall, he shaved it off in the 2001-2002 playoffs versus Portland, before Game 1.

    Ive been thinkin about that for the past about 3 months i think he would look better with it and it gave him his own unique look i think he should regrow it.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting MustardMan:</div><div class="quote_post">my theory is he started cutting his fro down cuz he wanted to look more like jordan. if you start to notice, his hair has been getting shorter and shorter... eventually we're going to see a bald Kobe. hehe</div>

    lol if anything it should be the opposite. When he was young he had a shaved head and people said it was because he wanted to be like Jordan. Then he started growing his fro but people still said he tried to be like Jordan. Now that people agree he isn't like Mike and he said he doesn't want to be you say he did it because he wants to be like him again? I'm sure I've lost some people with this confusing post, but what I'm saying is if there was ever a time where he REALLY wanted to be like Jordan it was when he had his fro.. not now. I always though it gave him a cleaner look, and I read that he really didn't care about his appearance until he met his wife, and since then you can notice the obvious change.

    I actually have an old Sprite poster of Kobe with a Fro, and I agree with the rest of you that he should regrow it. I really doubt he will because he seems too caught up in lookin good because of his wife, but like someone else said it was something not TOO many players had, and it was "Kobe"

    Acually, it seems that his hair had nothing to do with his explosiveness. Don't you guys remember when he was going for that reverse dunk against Minnesota in the playoffs. He acually got the dunk and he injuired his shoulder. Then ever since he hasn't been that nasty. Then he got injuired by Ray Allen, and then Kedrick Brown. So his shoulder isn't 100% now. But I do want his fro back. And hopefully he'll take out his anger on the court things next season, and be his nasty ol' self again.

    His hair didn't have anything to do with it, lol, but still, he was nasty when he had that hair, i'm jus referring to that as a time period. But still, the fro gives him a special look.

    I love the clean cut that he has now. It shows more maturity. I liked the fro but the clean cut is great.

    He's savin' his legs so he can play still explode when he gets older...This is a fact...I and other people have read it...He doesn't want to end up like Vince..He can dunk on anybody he wants to, but he don't.

    remember the ASG?...A freakin' layup!...

    The KOBE with the fro (time period) was off the chain, when it came to highlights.
