If you watched the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday (February 15), you may have noticed something a little different about the Detroit Piston's superstar guard Allen Iverson.
If you're not sure what it is ... he cut his braids off.
For the first time in 13 years, the Answer buzzed his hair, sporting a new clean cut look just in time for All-Star Weekend.
Not since his first couple seasons in the league have fans seen Iverson without his signature cornrows.
In a video posts on Yahoo, A.I. showed up in the locker room for the All-Star when his NBA colleagues witnessed the shocking changed, howling and laughing at the sight.
"It's a wrap," Iverson says.
According to Yahoo's spots blog, it wasn't until the 1997 rookie game that the b-ball showed up with his now trademark braids. It was a straight East/West Rookie back and forth back then, no sophomores (that didn't take off until a year after the lockout year, which went without an All-Star weekend), and AI showed up with braids.
