If you observe closely, you see that most NBA players are bald. The case is especially common among veteran NBA players. This curious case of baldness does not discriminate between great basketball players and regular basketball players. Even if you are rich or poor, baldness is bound to affect you in life.

The sting of baldness has finally hit the Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and fans are quite fascinated about the development. To be completely honest, LeBron is dealing with this case of baldness for quite some time now.

The timeline of LeBron James going Bald

Honestly, it is tough to find out exactly from which year LeBron started getting bald. However, interested eyes can always find out the best possible timeline.

Just like several other NBA players, King James entered the league with a head full of hair. During his entire first phase with the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron had a head full of hair. Even when James left the Cleveland Cavaliers and went to the Miami Heat, there was no visible hair loss on him.

But good things barely last long enough. As soon as LeBron gave up wearing his signature headband from the 2013 NBA Finals Game 6, a receding hairline popped up for the first time for the public to see.

By the time LeBron joined the Cavaliers for his second stint, it is said that James showed a Stage 4 hair loss. But then seems like magic happened.

Strangely in 2018, LeBron suddenly got his hairline back. Interestingly, throughout 2017, King James rocked the bald look. In certain instances, James even took to Twitter to joke about his hairline problem. Good to see an NBA champion having a strong sense of humor.

The infamous LeBron James Incident – Yes, it involved King James’ Hair

You might be a legend of the game but in certain times in your life, there is no way that you can avoid embarrassment. In one such case, LeBron James was also embarrassed.

This particular incident happened during a LA Lakers vs Utah Jazz game on October 25, 2019. By this time, it was well known that King James has joined the LA Lakers. The Lakers put on a prolific display and won the game against Jazz 95-86. But during the match, LeBron really had a closet malfunction moment. And interestingly, it involved his hair.

In a hilarious moment, Bron’s headband slid back at the temple of his head. And this caused a worthy accident. Bron’s hair plug fell out which left the entire arena in shock. Like, who wouldn’t be shocked by seeing that? After all its LeBron. The mishap was soon managed as Anthony Davis warned James about the malfunctioning headband.

LeBron at that game scored 32 points and snatched the victory from the hands of Jazz, but the highlight of the night remained about his hair falling out and the problem he is having about baldness.

Is LeBron James completely bald now?

Like LeBron James many other NBA veterans are joining the list of being bald. Recently, we saw Kevin Durant facing the same problem. Durant’s hair is thinning, and he already has a bald spot in his crown.

As a solution to his baldness, Bron has shaved off his head this NBA season. He has shaved off his head like many other greats such as Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. After all, James belongs to that league of elite players.

LeBron James may lose his hair but the King has not lost his skills.
