Getty ImagesLeBron James' hair looked a little different Tuesday night.
The returning Cleveland Cavaliers forward was at Nike's corporate headquarters in Beaverton, Ore., to reveal his new line of shoe, the Lebron 12. But, it was his no-longer-receding hairline that had everyone talking!
This led to some questions: Did the NBA star get hair plugs? Or, perhaps, he simply sprayed on some instant hair in a can? It seemed unlikely that, at 29, his hair could grow back in on its own.
Twitter had a field day trying to determine the root of this new 'do (haters gon' hate), but all is well. LeBron, a father of two with another on the way, has been joking about his lessening locks for years now! See below:
Had a dream my hairline was back! Woke up and went to bathroom, turned on light slowly. Same ol story. Damn! Lol #wishfulthinking
? LeBron James (@KingJames) August 24, 2011He's fine with it, too. Earlier this year a fan asked Lebron if his hairline was "a sensitive topic," to which he replied, "Not at all. My pops screwed me with this hairline. Dang it! Haha"
Don't feel too bad for King James, though. According to a recent Forbes estimate, he's already earned $450 million in his incredibly successful NBA career.
He's in good company, too. There's a (future) king across the pond who's also a bit follicly challenged, and like LeBron, he seems to be doing just fine!
