OP confirms he knows jack shit about basketball and only watches it to see muscular men run around in singlets. Not that there's anything wrong with that if that's what you're in to...

They purposely put a picture that clearly shows his declining hairline, just because it fit in with that quote, else they probably would had picked a picture that hid it better, like these magazines do.

Still looks fine as hell, just a bad cover picture.

He was just born with an aesthetically pleasing facial structure and he has a great work ethic to keep himself at least somewhat trim, which keeps his visual floor pretty high..it's gonna be hard for him to go the Boris Becker route....from this:

Kobe's aging well into his late 30s. Good complexion, clean shaven, good skin tone here:

Here's got a bit of scruff..here he's got a nice gruff, mature look going..but again, his great facial structure prevents it from going overboard into old man territory. The balance gives him a sort of majestic look.

Another good one. Decent jacket-shirt combo, would've preferred he put on some shades, but it's still solid presentation.

It's unfair to ask him to have the same youthful aesthetic exuberance he had 10-15 years ago. But I'd say he's aged well and his style has adapted to the time.

My god, see what I mean. Shaq looks like he's pushing 70 there.

Surprised that he has a little bit hair. I thought he was completely bald with no hairline.

Shaq's hairline ain't bad at all.

Roughly the same as the cover shot, I think. Just a bit receding on the sides.

Are you in love with him? You just took 5-10 minutes out your day to find pictures of another man and talk about how attractive he is? And you post 50 times a day. :facepalm

It's so Magic Johnson son, but that makes it funny. Using the word majestic.
