After Jaylen Brown suffered an embarrassing viral moment during the Boston Celtics’ season-opening game against the New York Knicks wherein his painted-on hairline rubbed off on OG Anunoby’s jersey, the C’s star leaned into by addressing it and getting a haircut on a live stream.
During the live stream, Jaylen Brown was cracking plenty of jokes, as he blamed his balding dome piece on the stress of playing in Boston.
“I blame Boston. 10 years of media, stress, championships. This is y’all fault,” Brown joked during the stream.
Brown also called up NBA legend LeBron James, who has been in an infamous battle with male pattern baldness for over a decade now, to get some advice on traveling to the hair transplant capital of the world, Istanbul, Türkiye.

Thus far this season, Brown — as the Celtics’ leader with Jayson Tatum out wiht a torn Achilles that he suffered against the Knicks in the playoffs last spring — is averaging 26 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game on 50% shooting from the field.
Brown, his new haircut and the rest of the 1-3 Boston Celtics will return to action on Wednesday, October 29 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, one of this season’s betting favorites for the NBA title.
