>> Dec. 29 Add-Ons <<

Great Oden's Beard
Greg Oden, 7-0 center, Fr., Ohio State
Classification: Grizzly-old-man beard
Spotted: Dec. 23 at Florida by Commenter
Notes: An anonymous commenter noted that the beard Oden has been sporting of late "looks like an artist's depiction of LeBron in 15 years." Oden told SI that he's highly amused by his old-man rep.

Knee-length Tat
Derrick Low, 6-2 guard, Jr., Wash. State
Classification: Diamond-patterned leg tattoo
Spotted: Dec. 28 at UCLA by the Blog
Notes: Low, the Hawaiian PG who has led Wazzu's surprise start, has a diamondback-like tattoo that runs from his left sockline into his shorts. He also has Archive-worthy hair, but we're still looking for a good photo.

Is anyone sure Oden is not from the 70's transported from an Austin Powers time machine?

I sport a beard very much like the one that Oden wears. More power to him -- there is nothing more manly than a full, bushy beard.

Yes a full beard is by far the manliest feature that a person can have. It can easily add a good ten years to the person's look.

Oden and Lebron were separated at birth and they're both 37 years old! Am I the only one who sees this?....What's wrong with this world?!

Low is the most underrated player in America. He is finally getting the credit he deserves by leading WSU to an imporbable start. Do you think he will get drafted?

Nice bushy beard portends a nice full shrub of hair on his back as well as forests on his chest and other areas. This guy looks like he's 43.

Tell me what girl wants that?

yeah, of course Oden's great, he's really 35. But seriously, how ugly is that beard.?

How about the Latino 'fro, as seen on Ronald Ramon (Pitt)? Watch the Pitt/Syracuse game on Thursday and see what you think.

i read in an interview with derrick low that his tattoo acutally goes all the way up his leg to his hip and the diamonds get larger closer to his hip.
