The Deron Williams Fade

The 27 year old Williams isn't just known for his basketball chops.  He's almost as famous for his hairstyle known as The Deron Williams Fade.

Even though he left Salt Lake City and the Utah Jazz he's remembered almost as much for his hairstyle as he is for his court moves.

Williams forced his move to the New Jersey Nets by refusing to sign a contract extension with Utah.   Then he stunned the basketball world by signing with a Turkish team, Besiktas.

New town, new season and new haircut.  With his move to New Jersey, Deron has modified his Utah style fade.  Maybe because all the old fans in Utah are still rocking The Deron Williams Fade.

Or maybe he was just bored with his famous haircut, which he famously had before every game.

Deron's Hairstyle Still Wildly Popular In Utah

Ironically, even though Deron is playing for a competitor, barber shops from Salt Lake City and surrounding areas are reporting an increase in the demand for his fade hairstyle.

In Utah The Deron Williams Fade is even more popular than the George Clooney hair cut, which is a type of Caesar and the Justin Bieber shag.

A Caesar + A Fade + 360 Waves
