Najera is a former OU basketball star and one of my all-time favorite players. He helped OU to four consecutive NCAA tournament appearances during his college career, as well as finishing in the school's all-time top ten in nine statistical categories. Before being drafted into the NBA in 2000 by the Mavs, Najera received rave reviews from scouts, who boasted on Najera's quick first step and extraordinary rebounding ability. He is only the second Mexican-born player to join the NBA. He was the first Mexican player to be drafted into the NBA. His first four years were with the Mavs where he became a fan favorite for his energy, rebounding and his tenacity on defense. The Mavs lost him in the trade to Golden State that brought Dampier to Dallas, and since then, he's been to Denver and most recently the dismal New Jersey Nets. But now...he's back in Big D!

What kind of hair gel did Najera use when playing for the Mavs? I'm trying to kick start my career and believe this will help.
