Lakers’ LeBron James shows up to Media Day with hair on his head, laughs at comment made by reporter
LeBron James is one of the greatest athletes of our generation. The Kid from Akron had a very humble beginning, but thanks to his basketball genius, he not only changed his life, he achieved something that only another NBA legend has. LeBron James followed in the footsteps of Michael Jordan and became the second NBA player to achieve billionaire status.
While his work off the court to build his wealth has been impressive, the King has never failed to amaze on the basketball court as well.
In his 19 seasons, LBJ has 4 championships, 4 MVP finals, 4 MVPs and many more achievements.
As his good friend Dwyane Wade once said, “It’s like when God did it, he said, ‘I’m going to give you all of this, but take that (hairline) off.'”
LeBron James has everything he could dream of except a good hairline, and that has been the subject of many jokes throughout his career. Recently, the King decided to back down. He put up a story with a bald head.

NBA Twitter reacts to LeBron James laughing at his own haircut meme
As soon as LBJ published that story, there was a lot of talk about it. While some said he finally embraced his age, others were more wary.
Many of us believed that he was using filters, and yesterday we saw evidence of the same.
During media day, LBJ appeared with the usual amount of hair on his head.
Seeing this, a reporter complimented LeBron and told him that his hair looks great. This sent the King into a frenzy of laughter.

I guess after seeing Giannis being a fun guy, LBJ wanted to give it a try too.
