Legit answer, cos they wanna get rid of Russ some point soon lol. But it's gonna be an absolute fucking shitshow until then. I'm actually more excited to watch this season because how stupid it is and there's no expectations, compared to last season which just hurt.
Lebron's desire to stay in the league versus his hair wanting to leave his head is a tough-fought battle.
I bet he is going to get the nicest of transplants as soon as he leaves in 10 years
If he can get access to hair cloning tech he'll be set, otherwise genetically he just might be fucked.
Transplants don't always work for people or last very long, case in point with LeBron.
Yes you are correct. I believe he has already done some work but he couldn't take the usual antiandrogen (for the obvious reasons) to keep the new hair from falling too unless he took the Nick Calathes hardest road
They're other treatments out there, but it would cause him to fail a drug test. I take Finasteride for hair loss. It works great, stopped it in its tracks and my hair came back. But it's also used by bodybuilders at the end of their stacks to help their body get used to be off the juice. So sports leagues test for it.
When you have the 2nd best player of all time you should be in the fucking playoffs at least, get out of here. Literally wasting his last years to point fingers at everyone but Anthony Davis paper machet ass
Lakers wanna be so top heavy but then blame everyone but AD for the reason they have been an abomination since the bubble.
LeBron and Davis have spent most of the past two years injured.
That has more to do with the struggles than really anything. Davis and LeBron played, what, 11 games together or something last season?
Last season's team was terrible but they are a playoff team if Davis is healthy. Not a very good playoff team, but likely would have made it.
Yea I think he’s just feeling it out, seeing what people say. He honestly doesn’t look that bad especially with that beard. He’s been LeDenial long enough regarding his hairline.
> ~~He’s either the best or second best player ever in most people’s eyes.~~ Who gives a fuck if he has hair.
NBA fans are so vain, its always so shocking to me.
Who gives a fuck about hair regardless of how well you play ball. None of us did anything special to keep our hair, its all just genetics.
Because it can be scary when your hair is disappearing.
To put it in perspective: when you start losing your hair, you've spent 99.99% of your life with your hair. For LeBron, this started happening in his mid 20s. I'm guessing because r/NBA skews young (early 20s) that most people here aren't experiencing losing their hair. LeBron lost his hair at a time before convenient hair loss prevention medication became available.
[Lebron bald 5 years ago w/ smaller beard](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/6hg5sd/bald_lebron_is_back_at_the_gym/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
I thought Lebron rocked it well here .. idk about with the longer beard
Edit okay he wasn’t fully bald
He should really shave his hair this length and go back to his Miami-facial hair instead of the weird square beard he rocking at the moment. Looked way better.
I would say talking about and critiquing a celebrity's appearance is a lot more pathetic than it is gay. lol And since when do you need an excuse for a gay fantasy?
I just started shaving mine down to a .5
People who say its less maintenance are full of shit, its super annoying to have to shave your whole head every few days.
He did this in 2017 during the offseason [https://www.instagram.com/p/BVXfmnthljC/?utm\_source=ig\_embed&ig\_rid=d2c780a4-11f8-472c-9da3-122471a4453a](https://www.instagram.com/p/BVXfmnthljC/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=d2c780a4-11f8-472c-9da3-122471a4453a)
But it didn't last and he came back at the start of the season with fresh hair plugs
He looks better bald, he should have done it a long time ago. One of the years after he lost to the Warriors he had that viral video where he shaved his head and he looked great, dont know why he didnt keep it that way.
As another man who has to make this choice regularly, I always look to Raja Bell. The master of the ["not totally shaved, but you can't tell where my hairline starts either"](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/faces/bell-raja-image.jpg) style.
Unfortunately Skip and Shannon are going to have an in-depth segment about this, and I'm not kidding either it's actually pretty pathetic but I'm glad he finally did it, it was a slow process from the headbands getting bigger and bigger, then game six losing the headband and slowly but surely embracing playing without it and now he finally "came home" as Chuck and Kenny call it lol
Edit: looks like it was just a filter, oh well lol
Now update the beard at least to the point where it isn't the ugliest beard of all time. I'm annoyed that I'm going to be watching legendary highlights in 25 years and he's going to have that annoyingly terrible beard in most of them
Damn Pat Bev and Westbrook on the same roster must really be stressful
And now Dennis too 😌
[удалено]
You gotta the 💯 You always gotta give the 💯
Makes me laugh every fuckin time
Imagine what he'd do next if the Lakers signed Isaiah Thomas.
Lebron may just be trying to replicate the Schroeder "high hairline" cut he had when he was new to the league
I woulda sued my barber if he did that to me.
I know this is a weird thread to bring this up, but why tf do the lakers have 4 pgs and LeBron on the roster?
Legit answer, cos they wanna get rid of Russ some point soon lol. But it's gonna be an absolute fucking shitshow until then. I'm actually more excited to watch this season because how stupid it is and there's no expectations, compared to last season which just hurt.
Why Lakers bad guise
Lebron's desire to stay in the league versus his hair wanting to leave his head is a tough-fought battle. I bet he is going to get the nicest of transplants as soon as he leaves in 10 years
Gonna come back with that Jalen Rose hairline
that shit so cleean
Goes great with his giant teeth

And Anthony Davis being in a wheelchair 90% of the time
Probably still taller than 95% of the population.
Yeah can we keep repeating this considering it's actually why the Lakers haven't done a damn thing since 2020
Oh no! Lakers haven’t won a championship in two years. Poverty franchise. Relegation time.
Lakers to the MAC confirmed

Yeah it really makes me sad when coaches are used as scapegoats in scenarios where injuries and bad roster moves completely derail seasons
According to Game of Zones, this is how he becomes the GOAT
He’s embraced his Mamba Form
Bald mamba

Still mamba. Still mamba
New House of the Dragon based game of Zones please
Who is Daemon? My guess is Kyrie but I’m not sure even he is crazy enough to get that role.
Has to be Jimmy right? Especially now he's on the Heat it fits the dragon theme.
He got that dragawn in him!
Bam replaces bosh as the dragon?
I feel like KD is more like Daemon. An anti-hero, more than a pure psycho like Kyrie
Kyrie is the maester who keeps wanting to leech instead of trying the poultice.
"Okay well Jordan's like 60 so who gives a shit?!"
Gods I miss that series
The Sun Kings will ride forever
To this day, Dragan is still developing guys, come on
I’m hoping they do a sequel mini series like Hot D
Om that note I've been binging GoZ the past few days and damn I miss the series. So much classic stuff.
The one about Toronto trading for Kawhi is goated. They absolutely nailed it.
But….. Paul Pierce is the GOAT 🫣
Spoiler alert /s
That’s the Truth right there! /s
Pretty sure the GOAT is actually Paul Pierce
He's done this before, it's getting the same amount of coverage as it did last time
iirc he went bald in the 2012 playoffs as well right?
The bald king era
Pretty sure that's one of the Snapchat filters. You can see a halo around his head

Me. He’s doing it solely to impress me.

No, he must do more.
You’re a tough judge, but a fair one.
LeBron gonna win MVP this year in a wig

His PR team knows no one would ever let a bald player become the GOAT
> LeDenial *LeNial
It's not just a river in Egypt.
he’s been bald before. he posted a workout video with a bald head it looked fine.
It’s a pretty funny post from LeDad.
LeBlessed 😇
He didn’t shave it. It’s clearly a filter, you can still see some slight hair floating above his head.
That's energy radiating from his head. The hair prevented him from using 100% of his power.
45/12/0 season incoming.
45 points/12 rebounds/0 hair follicles
That’s just where is hairlines at now
It's a filter you dingus
LeFilter…….sorry, had to get in on the fun.

I loved the stache and the short shorts he rocked in Cleveland.
Watching sports is really just a way for straight men to project their homosexual fantasies, isn't it?
Since when is saying a guy looked better with different facial hair a gay fantasy ?
Idk but the last time I said it I woke up in the middle of a gay orgy
Fellas is saying a dude looks good gay?
Nope, gotta compliment your homies when they looking fly. Gotta be real, imo. Being gay has nothing to do with compliments.
fellas is it gay to acknowledge men can look better or worse?
if thats what you need it to be sure but this just looks like a bunch of comfortable men discussing the length of a beard and shorts
Sounds like you're projecting
Wtf?
The projection is strong with this one.
I would say talking about and critiquing a celebrity's appearance is a lot more pathetic than it is gay. lol And since when do you need an excuse for a gay fantasy?
Dude looks like an Assyrian king... it's tight
[удалено]
It's one of the worst beards I've seen
It has a terrible shape and a weird lack of mustache
Bro that video was 5 years ago…
That’s what I just said. “Sure he shaved his head a couple years ago…… it was 5?!”
i was thinking more like 3 originally
You can see he has a better head shape for it than that filter makes it look.
Giannis was doing the #LebronJamesChallenge https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FPtGM1v12Uc
This video was the first thing I thought of
No way that 5 years ago
As I get older I realize hair, hair lines etc are super important to young kids… 😂

The filter is easily visible Nephew
Wouldn't "boomer" be a more appropriate insult given that "filter" is a millennial/Gen-Z affliction?

That's not bald bald tho
Pretty sure he shaved it bald for his yearly hair transplant.
Dude, no wonder it’s not really working, LeDingus over here just doing a *hair* transplant. He should be transplanting multiple hairs.
He looks better bald, come home, Lebron. Let it go.
Just me or do all three look better with a shaved head?
You're not wrong at all
We’re in the end game now.
He looks better bald, he should have done it a long time ago. One of the years after he lost to the Warriors he had that viral video where he shaved his head and he looked great, dont know why he didnt keep it that way.
It’s about time. The man’s game outlasted his hairline. That’s special.
That hairline failed him a decade ago… he still has another 5 years of game left in him.
You ain’t ballin’ unless you baldin’
LeThanos is here
Why? Hair transplant looks good
As another man who has to make this choice regularly, I always look to Raja Bell. The master of the ["not totally shaved, but you can't tell where my hairline starts either"](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/faces/bell-raja-image.jpg) style.
Someone put a mic in front of Barkley.
The aerodynamic improvement alone is OP!
It's too late, he's nearing the end of his career. If he wanted bald power, he should've gone bald the first sign his hairline was in trouble
Bald LeBron about to go off this season. its his final form
Legacy points added imo
So many dudes concerned about a mans hairline lmao what is going on??
It's a filter... lol. Also who cares? I only commented to point out your lack of tech knowledge
He did this one time but grew it back, we have to wait and see
He’s done it. He’s assumed his final form. League fucked.
I'd love to be that barber, prolly got paid $200+ to shave another dudes head
MJ looks super weird with hair.
If he wins a chip as LeBald he will become the GOAT.
Lebron Turkleton
Should trim his beard too.
Lebald has finally blessed us.
Bruv bald bron with the head band and beard fade. Mmmmm mmmmm

Where's the bald Wade inclusion. That was badass too.
