NBA fans are trolling Jaylen Brown after the Celtics star was seen wiping off his hair color before the game against the Nuggets. A viral clip shows Brown repeatedly wiping his head and checking the towel, which led to fans assuming that he would be worried about dye dripping down with his sweat once he started playing.
Brown has been labeled with a number of bald jokes ever since the player appeared to have a diminishing hairline. Fans are asking Brown to either get plugs or simply shave everything off and rock his baldness.
“Jaylen Brown making sure ALL the hairspray was wiped off before the game (crying emoji x3)” BrickCenter tweeted, sharing the viral clip.
