Las Vegas Raiders’ billionaire owner Mark Davis, 70, looks unrecognizable as he is spotted with PINK hair
Already known for one distinctive hairstyle, billionaire Las Vegas Raiders and Aces owner Mark Davis sported to a bold new look to celebrate A’ja Wilson’s unprecedented fourth WNBA MVP award.
In a nod to the pink wig Wilson wore while launching her signature A’One sneaker, the 70-year Davis donned his own alongside her parents, who also shared in the fun.
In fact, many pink-haired Wilson supporters were on hand to surprise the two-time WNBA champ as she received her fourth league MVP from commissioner Cathy Engelbert. Even Wilson’s boyfriend, Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo was in attendance, although he wasn’t seen in a pink wig.
Regardless, it was Davis who stood out the most, perhaps, because it was such a departure from his famed blond bowl.
‘This is the best his hair has ever looked,’ one fan wrote on X. ‘And it’s not close.’
‘Better than his real hair,’ another added.

Other critics feared Davis’ legendary father, Al, would be upset at the sight of his son in a pink wig.
‘Al Davis is fuming [right now],’ they wrote. ‘Sell the team clown.’
Incredibly, some Raiders fans blamed Davis’ pink hair for the team’s 1-2 start.
‘This why we losing,’ one remarked.
Davis’ coiffure became a major topic back in 2015 when ESPN revealed he travelled from Oakland, where the Raiders previously played, to Palm Desert, California to visit his preferred barber.
The piece also included the claim that people regularly he suggest he move away from his famed blond bangs, but he’s steadfast in his refusal to keep the hairstyle.
‘He ain’t changing it,’ former Raiders receiver and close friend Cliff Branch told ESPN. ‘When people say something, he just laughs. The more they tell him, the more he’s going to keep it. If they back off and don’t say anything, he might change it.’

Of course, it was Wilson and not Davis who was being honored on Sunday.
‘It’s not going to hit me until the end of the season honestly; it is truly a blessing to be where I am. I don’t think I could ever put into words how special this moment is,’ Wilson said before Las Vegas lost Game 1 of the WNBA semifinal series to Indiana. ‘My name is in the history books forever.’
Wilson was previously tied with three-time MVPs Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie and Lauren Jackson.
The 29-year-old led the league in both scoring (23.4 points per game) and blocked shots (2.3) this season.
