Why does davis from kentucky have a unibrow




















You famously went through a growth spurt in high school, which turned you from a guard into one of the best big-man prospects in the country.

It helped you in basketball, but what about in life? What was it like becoming the tallest kid in your school out of nowhere? It was kind of awkward. I had to get all new clothes, a new bed. I was growing every couple of weeks.

It was pretty crazy. Kevin Garnett. Offensively, he can really shoot the ball, attack the rim, and play in the post with his back to the basket or whatever. In anticipation of his imminent rise to national stardom, Davis trademarked the phrases "Raise the Brow" and "Fear the Brow. It's me. NCAA rules prevented Davis from exploiting his unibrow's brand value while he was playing for Kentucky, and the school's athletic department kept a tight leash on merchandise celebrating his uncommon facial feature.

Jason Schlafer, the athletic department's marketing director, said he sent about a half dozen cease-and-desist letters and placed twice as many phone calls to vendors who were "sprinting up to the line," close to infringing on the Kentucky Wildcats' trademarks. At first, he said, he was concerned that T-shirts that said "Bow to the Brow" and "Brow Down" would offend Davis and his family because they "highlighted what may be perceived as a negative feature.

Davis played just one season for the Wildcats before becoming a nationally discussed NBA prospect. But as dazzling as his play was on the court last season, and despite his incredible potential, there's been an overwhelming amount of buzz about his unibrow in the past year. Will he shave it? Why does he still have it despite the unbecoming jokes at his unibrow's expense?

Does he enjoy the attention? Or does he actually really like that Well, regardless of whether he likes his unibrow, he's going to love it down the line, as he markets it like LeBron James marketed "King James" and "The Chosen One.

Beyond the marketing genius, I actually like what Davis is doing.
