Sixers’ Hair
With all of the on-court progress that the Sixers have made this season, one area in which the Sixers have regressed significantly is their hair styles.
After two years of dominating the NBA hair world, Nerlens Noel decided to tear down his résumé as well as his flat top. I’m not a fan of Nerlens’ hairstyle by any stretch – and I’m further unnerved by the fact that his hairstyle is spreading to the likes of Richaun Holmes. Perhaps this is the source of the unverified reports of Nerlens’ poor off-court behavior.
An equally surprising disappointment has been T.J. McConnell’s hair. The wavy, gelled-up look does not embody T.J. in the slightest. Unless T.J. is working part-time as a wisecracking South Philly bartender, the change is completely unwarranted. Even Dario Saric agrees.
Dario Saric is never allowed to leave Philadelphia

Nik Stauskas has cemented his place as Gordon Hayward’s younger brother. Timothé Luwawu-Cabbarot has either struggled to find the right barber in Philadelphia or is soon hoping to pose as Kramer in a remake of Seinfeld.
It’s been a fun year on the court, but a brutal year for Philadelphia 76er hairstyles. Thank goodness for Sergio Rodriguez’s beard.
