‘Look Good, Feel Good‘ – a phrase that might seem empty at first. Yet for some NBA athletes, their bold and confident appearance is enough to set the tone. That seemed to be the case with Stephen Curry, who in 2016 wore his trademark short hair fade. The reigning MVP might have had some slumps that season, but his hair game never disappointed.

He cut the Baby Faced Assassin‘s hair all season long, making sure he always looks the part of a defending champion and a historic MVP. That year Curry produced brilliance, cementing himself in the rare company of back-to-back MVP award holders. He averaged 30.1 points, 6.7 assists, and 5.4 rebounds while playing in 79 games that season. Once again he was an All-Star and an All-NBA first-team selection.
