Ode to Drew Gooden’s Hair - Gooden Explains His ‘Duck Tail’ Hair Cut
Some people simply aren’t made for HDTV - sorry Carlos Boozer.
But HD does wonders for Drew Gooden and his funky hair. You can see below - but all season long, Gooden has shaved his head and had a ‘reverse’ goatee or soul patch… a huge square of hair on his neck. I’ve wondered what the hell that was and what kind of bet he lost - but I finally found an explanation from Gooden himself.
Gooden says the hair style is a “duck tail” and says it is the height of fashion in his hometown Oakland.
I will say that I live in San Jose (40 minutes from Oakland) and have NEVER seen a duck tail hair cut other than on Gooden.

[…] And beRecruited SportsWrap knows great football. From Drew Gooden to Floyd Mayweather to Brady Quinn. That’s why we cried when we heard that RW McQuarters had cut his hair… he actually values safety over fashion (remarkably poor judgment). McQuarters and the NFL agree that one way to prevent concussions (strangely) is to wear shorter hair. Not sure my medical encyclopedia agrees… but his choice. […]

[…] When SI.com recently asked Drew Gooden about his favorite things from the 80s, he was quick to mention calculator watches. We know he has bad taste in hair, but calculator watches are a huge fashion no-no. They are also very difficult to use when you are 7′0 tall and have hands large enough to palm basketballs. […]

Gooden may call that mess a “Duck Tail” only it is NO WHERE close to the “duck tail” hair style which was popular in the 1950’s.
