LeBron James got rid of his headband to look more like his teammates

LeBron James wore a headband for over a decade in the NBA. The fashion accessory and tossing chalk became his two defining characteristics (outside of being one of the best dang players in the association). This season he lost the headband and suffered the endless jokes about his hairline, but it was all in service of being closer to his Cavaliers teammates, according to Cleveland.com.

"I did it because I just wanted to look like my teammates," James told Northeast Ohio Media Group. "Just wanted to be one. Nothing more than that."

This is sweet in a really weird way. Sure, there might be more obvious ways to bond with your teammates than taking off a headband, but it's a nice gesture of team unity. Mike Miller joked about the switch:

"Well, that's the only way he can (look like us) because I can't get away with wearing a headband," veteran Mike Miller said with a laugh after hearing James' reasoning.

There will continue to be jokes about LeBron's new look, and PLENTY more about his hairline, but if that's the cost of a little more unity then it was well worth it.

Alpha as ****. KING JAMES!

Please.

He was tired of the headband jokes. His hairline looks better without the headband.

[Im Still Ballin]

Love how he and the media is sweeping the fact he got a hair transplant under the rug like it didn't even happen

Casual NBA fans wouldn't have a clue

[Im Still Ballin]

Not that it's a bad thing he got one

Just that he consistently comes up with ridiculous cover-stories

Like the 2 week break in Miami he had... Lets be real

He didn't go to Miami because it's warm

He went for the drugs

[BigNBAfan]

is he going to get rid of his shoulder too?

[Im Still Ballin]

Or howabout when he suddenly lost all that weight in the off-season and his cover-story was that he was trying a new no carb diet...

Off-cycle

[tomtucker]

Yeah, and he also got a **** ring to match his teammates

.
right theoo ?

[Spaulding]

Chatty Patty thread. Shame on all of you.

[imdaman99]

It's alpha as fk to follow your teammates lead :rockon:

Headbands get progressively wider every season to hide his receding hairline

Obviously gets hair plugs, stops wearing headband

Offers up bogus reason, stans so gullible

It amazes me how insecure he is about his hair. Who gives a ****, nobody would care if he at least pretended it didn't bother him.

[VengefulAngel]

Bran taking shot's at his teammates, nothing unusual. :lol

[Tmuston Beltics]

I think he got rid of it because his hairline now looks much more "acceptable".

[Trollsmasher]

Brandon Haywood be like:cry:

[yarrak]

Never understood why so many people here pay so much attention to his hairline.. Who the **** wants to have a receding hairline and look ugly? What's the problem If he has the money to fix his issues with the hairline? Almost all you **** would do the same if you were in a similar position.

Leave tom alone

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

He should find out who his father is to be more like his teammates w/ fathers day over a month away

[r15mohd]

the lengths some folks go to satisfy agendas...who really cares about headbands and his hairline, especially as apart of an NBA game?

That last picture isnt how his hair ever looks, they put some fibers in his hair for that event. It looks more like the 2nd picture

[monkeypox]

It baffles me that a guy with that much money didn't pay for the better kind of hair transplant.

Can you blame him? He makes like 75 million a year. I'm surprised he didn't do it earlier. I always wondered why he didn't.

I always wondered why he didn't just shave it off. He is black. He can pull it off.

He has an oddly-shaped head. Like an acorn or something.

I mean, he CAN do it if he wanted to. But he'll be even uglier than he is right now.

That's pretty hard.

The constant question that goes through your mind daily "I wonder what thoughts go constantly through the minds of ISH posters." Lol, idiot. It does go through my mind every time I see the transplant scar on the back of his head. It's like Tara Reid and her horrible boob job. You guys have tons of cash, why go to some back alley surgeon?

[BigBoss]

I hope someone creates a cringe compilation of video/quotes/etc of Lebron when his career is over.

[VengefulAngel]

He also god rid of his brain...

[TheMarkMadsen]

such bullshit

:roll: :roll:

[KembaWalker]

This dude is so beta I swear, tell me he ain't wearing it because he thinks it's gonna make him better

[Hey Yo]

This dude is so beta I swear, tell me he ain't wearing it because he thinks it's gonna make him better
22-5 and 3 at the half.


WITNESS!!

[kennethgriffin]

ive noticed lebrons headband is at his rookie playing level and not sitting atop his head anymore

i'm guessing this is because it would mess with his hair transplant follicles

[305Baller]

Voodoo Headband?

(Filed in LeBald voodoo case files.)

[Yoshi]

So did he not want to be part of the team tonight? LeBron leading Cavs? Hmm...

[tomtucker]

I dont get why people like this are allowed on this board if there are mods

Because the mods here can handle the truth

Every man has a receding hairline. Some people don't go bald, but everyone's hairline changes as they get older.

My hairline isn't great. I'm about Bron's age, a bit older. It's whatever. It's hair. At some point you have to say ITS HAIR.

If you let it symbolize a loss of youth or virility or whatever, then you already ****ed yourself. Everyone is sad at first, I'd bet.

It's gonna suck for me if/when I ever go male pattern bald, to the point where I have to shave it off, but I don't think it's worth it to alter yourself for vanity's sake.

I imagine hair growth creams give you rash on your scalp. Some drugs that you take just cut your testosterone. And transplants (which probably also involve drug taking at some point or another) is just taking hair from somewhere else and putting it on your head. lol.

People who say "Who wants to have a receding hairline?" Probably aren't old enough to have to worry about that shit. It's like those ads they play where it's like "I just realized going bald was not for me!" It's like oh ok bro. There are people who are born with shit hair. There are kids who have comb over style hair in grade school.

Let me say again: It's hair. It sucks. Getting old sucks in some ways, but being in total denial isn't the way to do it. It's not real. You aren't becoming younger.

But on topic, I did see he brought the band back.

[ZMonkey11]

Was wondering when this would be brought up. Surprised it didn't happen last night. I guess maturity has risen on this board.


But can we know get over LeBron and him being a good leader/nice guy?

This man does things for himself, then tries to spin it. Period. No headband to be more like his teammates, then wears a bright ass headband. How will he spin this one?

"Well...my teammates were getting me confused with my other scrub teammates, so I put it back on to make sure I get the ball in key situations."

If Lebron wasn't rich he would get no girls.
