LeBron James has accepted his fate and joined the bald fraternity of the NBA

Father Time is still losing the war against The King, however, LeBron may have finally waved the white flag in one battle they’ve been waging against each other for years.

BREAKING NEWS!

No, sorry, it’s not a trade involving Russell Westbrook.

Instead, we bring news that LeBron James has finally thrown in the towel. Not on his career, but in the barbershop, as he has seemingly shaved his entire head according to this picture he posted on his Instagram story on Tuesday.

So does that imply that LeBron is at last following the similar careful ways of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant by going totally uncovered following quite a while of attempting to keep that hairline from its consistent retreat?

Well, not exactly.

He also posted a video of himself completely bald during the 2017 offseason before his final season with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Obviously, once the season started, LeBron had his normal head of hair as he has had for about a decade now.

However, that post from 2017 came in June, nearly 3 months before media day and training camp of that 2017-18 season kicked off. The complete shave early in the offseason could be a routine LeBron has adopted in the past decade as some sort of calculated system to have his hair looking as good as it can for the full season.

However, 90 days before media day is far unique in relation to six days before media day. Will we truly need to change our eyes to a fresh out of plastic new, uncovered LeBron James? It appears we will… except if…

If you look at the top of his head, the lighting around it looks a little funny.

Is this just one of the millions of filters we have in this day and age? One that can show you what you look like when you’re bald? We all know that when LeBron isn’t power-handling in the NBA, he’s quite an enormous numskull, so perhaps this is only a tad trick of his as he prepares for the smaller-than-usual camp he will lead with the Lakers program later in the week. If it is, I’m sure Lakers fans will enjoy it more than the last joke he played on us below.

But maybe this is real and we are actually getting LeBald for his 20th individual season in the Association. If so, I say good on LeBron for making the plunge into baldness and changing his appearance to whatever makes him happy. And if he’s joking? Well, good on him for never, ever, EVER giving up on his hair, I guess!
