LeBron James laughs at his own bald patch

While LeBron James has been dominant for the LA Lakers on the court, he has also been having fun on social media with a meme mocking his receding hairline. For millions of fans who have seen the King play at the greatest level for numerous years, LeBron James’ receding hairline has been a source of contention.

James paid tribute to the back of his balding head and its similarity to a partial Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup on Monday morning, hours before the Lakers faced the Trail Blazers in Game 4 of their first-round series.

The basketball great, 35, took to Instagram yesterday to share a photo of the back of his head side by side with a photo of a peanut butter cup that was half stuck to the wrapper.

“One of the funniest ones I’ve seen,” the 35-year-old superstar captioned the photo. “Hated when my Reese cup would do that but guess what I still kept it and ate is.”

In the NBA bubble, LeBron James does not have the luxury of his own barber and stylist, and the results are obvious in the spread of his bald spot.

This isn’t the first time LeBron James has poked fun at his hairdo. Earlier this season, Anthony Davis laughed when some of LeBron’s hair fell out during a game. It is common knowledge that LeBron James has hair plugs and weaves, as witnessed each summer when he returns to play with a full head of hair.

James normally stays away from social media during the playoffs, but he made an exception this year due to the peculiar setting of the playoffs, which are taking place in the NBA’s bubble.

“I won’t be turning my phone off during this run; I can’t afford to,” James previously told reporters.

Fans flocked to social media in droves to remark on the amusing snapshot.

One wrote: ‘This is why I love cheering for LeBron James. He can laugh at himself and his hairline on his own page haha.’

‘Every time I see LeBron I think about Reese’s now,’ said another.

And a third added: ‘Which one of y’all said Lebron head look like a half-eaten Reese’s wrapper?? I can’t unsee it.’

James and the Lakers presently hold a 3-1 lead in their first-round series against the Blazers.

The Lakers defeated the Blazers by a score of 135-115 on Kobe Bryant’s birthday.

Following a loss in Game 1 of the series, the Lakers had won three straight games, putting the Blazers on the verge of elimination.

Mamba Day will be observed on August 24th in Orange County and the city of Los Angeles. To honor the late great Kobe Bryant, the LA Lakers will wear special Black Mamba versions of their alternative jersey in Game 4.

LeBron James and Kobe Bryant have a lengthy history together. Over the years, the two NBA icons have formed a deep connection and a brotherly relationship. LeBron was devastated by Kobe Bryant’s passing in January. LeBron James shared a video on Instagram yesterday of him and Kobe Bryant enjoying Kobe’s 30th birthday together at a Team USA camp.

LeBron James is more determined than ever to win this season. He aims to continue on Kobe Bryant’s legacy by bringing a championship back to the Staples Center.
