Brian Lewis takes us on a tour of Jarrett Allen’s head, not what’s in it, but what adorns it, that throwback beauty of an Afro, how it started, how he maintains it, and how he intends to keep it. After all, as he jokes, he’s 7’5” with it.
As Lewis writes...
Allen is just 19 years old, but he’s added a mustache to the ’fro that would’ve fit right into the ABA and NBA two decades before he was born. And though his fast-improving play has endeared him to Nets fans who haven’t had much to smile about the past few years, his coiffure has sent his popularity next-level.
