LOS ANGELES — Two of the best defenders of the last two decades of the NBA met Wednesday inside the Lakers’ practice facility, with Ben Wallace and Anthony Davis meeting up to … talk haircuts?
“He told me he liked my hair,” Davis said, pointing to his afro. “A headband, couple of wristbands and maybe I can win defensive player of the year.”
Davis’ afro is nowhere near Wallace’s at its peak, a haircut so high and robust that you almost forgot one of the NBA’s biggest, toughest centers wasn’t even 6 feet 10. His trophy room is also lacking — Wallace with four of the NBA’s DPOY trophies and Davis, maybe surprisingly without only one.
