Jon Elmore is certainly embracing who he is.
In an incredibly amusing moment during the Los Angeles Lakers' NBA Summer League win on Thursday night in Las Vegas, Elmore hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer and then rubbed the top of his bald head to celebrate.
The 30-year old guard likely has heard plenty of jabs from his teammates about his appearance. He didn't mind leaning all the way into it in this moment:

Elmore finished the game with 11 points and five assists while making 3-of-4 shots from beyond the arc.
He may not look it, but he's got quite the impressive basketball story.
During the 2025-26 season with the Stockton Kings in the G League, Elmore averaged 13.8 points and 6.1 assists per game.
He had played collegiately at Marshall University.
Elmore led Marshall to its first NCAA Tournament win ever, scoring 27 points in an upset of Wichita State.
He set Conference USA's all-time record in both scoring and assists, and he was the first player in D-I history to score more than 2,500 points and dish out more than 750 assists.
Elmore has played all over the world, and maybe he's simply bound for the G League again. But the dude knows how to run the show on offense, both with his scoring and distributing, and maybe that will still earn him an NBA regular season debut at some point.
