King James has long had problems with his hair, suffering from male pattern baldness for decades. There have been speculations that he has had a hair transplant to achieve a full head of hair. The four-time NBA MVP however has shown that he does not take his hair issues too seriously.

However, some have said that the post was just a photo of James that used a filter, and that he did not actually get rid of all his hair.
Y’all know that bald Bron is fake, at least in the picture he took, right? You can see the filter on the screen lol. Now he may have done it but that picture is fake.
