A Look at the Best Mullets in Sports History

1990 NBA Draft — There was a time not too long ago when the mullet was a common American haircut. Many people in the 1980s and 1990s decided to say the heck with hair on the sides of their head and just grow it out in the back. Some of those folks were high profile athletes.
