The situation got even funnier when Brown called LeBron James during a Twitch livestream to ask for advice on hairline maintenance. The light-hearted conversation between the two generated millions of views, proving just how invested fans were in the storyline.
This season has been filled with shocking injuries, landmark performances, dramatic ref calls, and intense rivalries but somehow, Jaylen Brown’s hairline has managed to cut through all the noise and become its own genre of NBA content.
Rudy Gobert’s On Court Advice Steals the Show
During Saturday’s Celtics vs. Timberwolves showdown, the broadcast cameras captured Gobert speaking directly to Brown during a stoppage. While the audio wasn’t recorded, lip readers and fans online caught Gobert laughing before saying:
“Just shave it. Go bald.”
Within minutes, the clip spread across X, Instagram, and TikTok. Browns’ reaction a wide grin and a quick head shake only added fuel to the moment. Fans immediately turned the clip into memes, with Gobert being crowned “funniest NBA big man” for delivering the most straight forward solution yet.
Gobert’s calm, matter of fact suggestion became an instant punchline across the internet. After weeks of jokes, rumors, speculation, and Twitch calls, the French center jokingly offered the simplest cure of all time.
And surprisingly, Brown didn’t seem offended at all if anything, it looked like he agreed.
Brown’s Monster Performance Overshadowed By the Meme Storm
While the hairline jokes dominated the conversation, Brown turned in his best performance of the season. He dropped an incredible:
- 41 points
- 6 rebounds
- 7 assists
- 5 steals
This made him only the second player in Celtics history alongside Larry Bird to put up a 40/5/5 game with five steals.
Despite Brown’s brilliant effort, the Celtics still fell short in a narrow 119-115 loss to Minnesota. It was a brutal defeat for a team that has been struggling to find its rhythm, losing six of their last ten matchups and slipping to a 10-9 record.
But regardless of the result, Brown’s performance was overshadowed by the flood of jokes and reactions after the Gobert moment went viral.
Even the Timberwolves players had something to say about Brown’s competitive fire.
Anthony Edwards Reveals What Brown Told Him During the Fourth Quarter
After the game, Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards was asked about defending Brown in the fourth quarter. Edwards admitted Brown’s trash talk added extra fuel to the matchup.
Edwards said Brown told him he was “too small” after making a tough shot a comment that immediately fired up the Wolves star.
“I feel like I did a good job on him. He made a tough shot and told me I was too small. I said that might’ve been the luckiest shot ever. That kinda woke me up,” Edwards said with a smile.
Edwards himself wasn’t far behind statistically. He finished with 39 points, turning the final minutes into a fiery back and forth battle between two elite two way players.
But again, the highlight that stole all the headlines wasn’t the duel.
It was Rudy Gobert telling Jaylen Brown to “go bald.”
Celtics Face Growing Pressure As Humor Collides With Reality
While the hairline jokes are pure comedy, the Celtics’ season outlook is no laughing matter. Despite high expectations, the team is struggling to find consistency on both ends of the floor. Brown is playing some of the best basketball of his career, yet Boston is still far from the form that took them to the 2024 NBA Finals.
Brown’s ability to stay light hearted through the viral drama shows off a personality many fans rarely see. Even as the memes grow, the trash talk intensifies, and opponents join in on the jokes, Brown seems unfazed if anything, he’s leaning into it and using the attention to entertain fans.
Still, one question remains:
Will Jaylen Brown actually take Rudy Gobert’s advice?
Social media is now filled with Photoshopped images of a bald Brown some terrifying, some hilarious and even Celtics fans are debating whether the new look would suit him.
One thing is certain:
The hairline saga isn’t ending anytime soon.
And with Boston facing the Cleveland Cavaliers next, the world will be watching to see whether Brown shows up with a fresh cut… or another viral moment.
