We love a good afro here at TSL, and what better place for one to show up than at the most entertaining NBA draft in recent memory. Unheralded Lucas Nogueira was taken with the 16th pick by the Boston Celtics, and promptly propped his draft day hat up on his massive 'fro.
And then the internet broke.
Fantastic Fro. Kid needs to gain some weight to support that. Never cut it. The fans will wear wigs. Great marketing.
