Rudy Gobert reminds Jaylen Brown that he can go bald
Gobert knows bald
MJ made it cool to be bald. An accomplishment bigger than anything he did on the basketball court
He also raised the bar on baldness to an unrealistically high level though
Idk the eraser mustache combo made him human again lol
I also remember MJ rocking a hitler mustache in a hanes commercial, so that’s gotta bring him down a couple more points lol
thats a power move….
What are you gonna do? Launch a land, sea, and air invasion?
Nein.
Leave JJ Mccarthy outta this
Legitimate question, can Ant play quarterback?
Nah man it was a Charlie Chaplin stache…
Imagine being fucking Chaplin. The most evil man of the 20th century likely ever absolutely swiped your signature look.
Charlie was mad as hell for sure
He made a movie about it called The Great Dictator, this when the tramp first spoke.
He was trying to bring that back it was a massively popular mustache style before hitler fucked it up
Reappropriating hate symbols is based if pulled off
“It’s okay, I’m taking it back!”
cmon man ain’t nobody referring to that as an “eraser mustache” – call it what it is: a hitler mustache.
there has never been a bald US president. I dont know what argument this info suggests, but the fact still stands
Eisenhower?
you are right..
There are a few more, but most of them aren’t bald lol
He had a little bit on top
Are you smoking crack? Lmao there’s tons of portraits of bald presidents
Biden was bald with a huge combover
Lots of pretty much bald but none who shave their head
Trump is notoriously bald with a crazy combover.
Literally George Washington was bald lol
Joe Biden is bald. Just hiding it. I’m willing to bet that Trump is as well
He also rocked the Hitler stash and no one called him out on it.
Lots of people did
he went bald because of ONYX
DO DA KNOWLEDGE!
MJ’s r/bald post would have done numbers.
EEEENGGG!!! WRONG!!! THAT WAS ONYX
In central Asia they call it the Jordan
He has the sick unc earrings though
smh, these younglings don’t know about the OG bald goat - Kojak.
Him, and Steve Austin later. Thats why they are goats
I think it’s called lebald in french
“être chauve” => to be bald
“être chauvin” => to be proud to be French
Fabien Barthez, the goalkeeper for the winning World Cup 98 team in football, was called “le divin chauve” (the divine bald) and Laurent “The President” Blanc who was his most trusted defender and respected by all went to kiss his bald head before every game during the world cup.
And also we had Zinedine Zidane later on.
We know bald.
Homie he was making a LeBron joke lol
Mon gars, I was just expanding on the french part of the discussion.
LeFrançcais.
In LA also
Elite bald knowledge.
Nobody recognizes a person is going bald better than a bald guy.
That is hilarious. Both are good sports about it. Jaylen is just going to have to take the plunge soon.
This year is Rudy’s first bald year too, maybe he can give him some early adopter words of wisdom
As someone recently deciding to go bald with a beard I need a guide on what to do or what not to do I’m so lost. How do I shave? What razor do I go with? How do I maintain it? What beard product do I use? I’m so lost. If anyone is reading this and has any pointers I would greatly appreciate it.
You should swing by r/bald , I don’t know why the algorithm sent it my way (not bald) but I click on those posts and it seems like they have a great community. I think you’d get a lot of help there with those questions.
Most people come in there at a low point in their lives and are just looking for support but rest assured we will lean towards going bald so dont come in thinking we will ever recommend saving it.
Just took the dive myself this past March. I recommend a wet shaver (I use a Remington balder pro) so you can do it easily in the shower. Use some pre-shave oil to soften the hair and help protect your scalp from cuts as you wash up, then throw on some shave cream and use your shaver all over. Get a hand mirror to check and make sure you got everything, but after doing it enough you can tell by kinda running your hand over your head. When you get out the shower, use some sort of bump control cream or liquid to prevent razor bumps, then moisturizer and you’re done. Repeat every 2-3 days or as needed.
Thanks man, I appreciate the first hand advice. I’m currently just using a Phillips Norelco trimmer and while it kinda does the job I know I need something more suited for the sensitive skin on the scalp
My skin hates every electric razor I’ve tried, what I’ve found that works best for me is a normal razor, I use a Headblade (or something like that, can’t remember exactly). I’ve only ever used their cartridges and just have them delivered from Amazon once a month, but it makes shaving feel more natural to me then a razor with a full handle.

I appreciate it, I even used a little ChatGPT to get some advice on a routine (I hate using ai it makes me feel dirty).
It’s best to avoid Chat for this. As LLMs (what these AI actually are) have a hallucination problem, as in they will misinterpret information from the source then present them as truth. Because they have no true intelligence, and are more akin to blunt word repeaters.
This is a inherent flaw in any LLM, and should you hurt yourself or done something wrong, they bear no legal responsibility whatsoever.
They can be good as a starting point, but you can NEVER blindly trust them to not produce outright bullshit.
don’t go bald, just go the gta Trevor route and get a skullet
Oh I’ve rocked effectively the skullet during Covid when I didn’t go to a barber for 3 years.
I took the plunge a couple years ago. It was a process - terrifying at first, but I have zero problems with it now. I’ll attempt to share my wisdom.
First, it’s kind of a myth that some people have round heads and others don’t and so they look good bald or don’t. Everyone has round heads. I’m sure there are a handful of people whose faces just don’t take to it, but they’re the strong minority. And, yeah, growing out a beard helps you balance out your face.
I did it in stages - I started with a #3 clipper, and gradually went down over about a year and now I use it without the guard. It’s just a Wahl clipper I bought at Target, works great.
The benefit to this is that I didn’t have to go whole hog. The downside, of course, is that hair grows, it doesn’t shrink. So, if you start at no guard, and decide you want it longer, hair will grow and you’ll be able to see where you like it. My experience was that I always liked how it looked, then tried it a little shorter, and liked it better. Ultimately, .5 and 0 made a significant difference, though, and that’s when other people started saying it looked good. I bought one of those skull crushers and went down to the skin once, but didn’t love it. My head was too pale and I didn’t like how it felt from a tactile perspective either. It felt like skin instead of hair and it was weird. Of course, I only kept it that way for a week, so I could revisit it.
The golden rule, though, is that the longer your hair is, the balder you look. It’s not lack of hair that makes you look bald, it’s contrast. So, the benefit of going shorter is that there’s significantly less contrast.
As for practicalities - like I said, I just bought a Wahl clipper at Target for $40 or so. I also bought one of those barber’s capes online and a hand-held mirror. I put the barber’s cape laid out on the floor of my bathroom to catch the hair, then shave in front of my bathroom mirror and use the hand-held to check the back. When I’m done, I wrap up the hair in the cape and put it into the trash. Then, I use a broom to sweep up the hair. I have a dustbuster as well if it misses anything. I try to get as little hair into my plumbing as possible. The benefit of the barber’s cape is that it’s slick so the hair will slide off easily. I try to do it every 3-5 days.
For the beard, I just use a #3 beard trimmer, then line up without the guard. A small trick I’ve learned is you use the broad edge, you can clean up the tips of your facial hair without cutting it off.
For products, I have Shea Moisture beard wash to wash it. I have Honest Amish beard oil as well, but I don’t apply it that often, so I don’t know if it does anything. I’ve tried beard balm, but I don’t think my beard is long enough for it to matter, so I stopped using it. I think that’s more for really long beards that need more taming.
I’m not someone who historically had looks issues, but I can’t deny it all fuqqed with me pretty good for about a year, so don’t be too worried if you have strong feelings. I came out of it pretty good, though, and, honestly, I get more attention from women now than when I did with hair. Hair is also more than just about looks, though, it feeds into identity. I kinda liked the process of growing it out and feeling more “wild” then cutting it and feeling more clean-cut. I was a little worried about losing that sense of self, but I just developed a new one with regards to my current process. You can adapt.
It’s also free, and you can shave it anytime you want if you have an important event, which is nice. Good luck bro!
go to the bald subreddits feel like they have tons of these types of threads
you’ve already gotten good responses but honestly it doesn’t have to be difficult or a chore. Get a good clipper (or a multigroom like Phillips and use it for your beard as well) and work it into your routine: shave (lowest guard, don’t razor shave), shower, lotion. that’s all there is to it.
I just use my Balding clippers I bought like 7 years ago. Keep them clean an lubricated and they last a long time.
Truly depends on your ethnicity and patience. When you look online you’ll be led into some shit like “safety” razors but some dude in Germany who may look drastically different from you. You’ll also be told you can never use a razor and instead to invest in some Andis clippers. Truly no middle ground online….so my advice is to go to a barber and get it done professionally and THEN slowly test it out. Fail a lot? Go back and get it professionally done and…test again.
I’ve been using a Gillette 5 blade for about a decade now w/some Cremo shaving cream. I do it in the shower. I then put some Gold Bond on the dome when I get out. Next man will tell you some drastically different shit.
Good luck!
Note: I went bald as I got tired of brushing my hair. I let it grow every once and while to se that I still could have a full setup up there….and shave it back off :)
ngl, shaving your entire head every day / every other day sounds really complicated and hard
like how tf are you supposed to cleanly shave the back of your head without missing any spots or winding up with a new cut every other day?
The special shavers I’ve seen bald people use seem really easy to do. I don’t think they give the glossy shine of an MJ bald though.
Jaylen is crying on the inside
We all are ha. People get old though.
It’s crazy though cause didn’t he have that huge frohawk just a few years ago? Never would imagine he’d be balding just a few years down the road.
Life comes at you fast
I think it was those tight braids he had. I removed my braids last month and saw that I got the Vegeta type patches in the front of my hairline.
Before the braids there was no sign of that.
Nice braids Jaylen, what did they cost? …Everything
Once you shave you laugh inside and wonder what took you so long. At least that was my experience.
Does he, though? His hair isn’t even that thin. I think he’s just ridiculously insecure about it for some reason.
Bald D-White = 2024 Celtics championship
Bald Jaylen = 2027 Celtics championship
Wb Bald Tatum?
Top five
Top five in what?
Number
“…..🤔…top 5!”
Top fivehead
Is he talking with Javonte in that clip?
Yup lol
Don’t give him any ideas
Kobe
He wishes
19 year olds balding isn’t impossible, but quite rare
2042 bald Deuce= dynasty?
Nah Tatum got one of the best hairlines in the league
2029 champions
I’m just glad we got rid of cornrows Tatum
Edit: thanks, I’m stupid
Rows not rolls dude
Just waiting on Ant to complete the MJ transition and shave his head
its always interesting to me to see ant getting compared to MJ when my entire childhood there were conspiracies going around about Jimmy Butler being Jordans son, because a lot of details add up (which doesnt mean anything without concrete evidence)
What are the details?
IIRC (i might be missremembering) Butler never knew who his dad was and Jordan was in the same city as his mom around 9 months before his birth. Also they look quite similar and Butler was playing for the Bulls at the time which probably added to it. Theyre also similar height and build, but the main point is that he doesnt know who his father is and Jordan was in close proximity at the time he was concieved and they look similar.
Mike Korzemba if anyone remembers him has a video about this conspiracy.
If you watched Starting 5, Jimmy’s dad eventually came into his life and is in the show
Oh thats both awesome and wholesome didnt know that, thanks.
Its still wrird that MJ is the only player that gets these theories/jokes coming up about players being his sons. Apart from the Wilt/Otto Porter thing, but cmon they look the same and Wilt bragged about sleeping with 20k women ut was bound to happen.
Maybe Mj cucked his Dad ?
Link ❓
Netflix
Season 1 of Starting 5
👍 dont have netflix 🤷♂️
Hit the high seas
Haven’t heard that name in a while. Dude ruined his whole reputation for his “Steph with a 40 inch verticle” video on Lonzo, and from then on, every single comment on every video he posted was a play on that shit. Poor guy lol
Yeah the dude turned from a serious NBA channel like JxmmyHighroller to a meme in a millisecond.
Poor guy was hyped for a top 3 pick and it kinda fucked his career up.
But he knew his dad. People just hear single mom and think that equals non existent dead beat dad.
Sounds like people being immature
I wish people would joke as this as much as Giddey or Howard on this thread but they’re weak.
Likable Rudy moment 😳
He has several but the basketball community is too biased
He does a ton of really great stuff through his foundation (Rudy’s Kids)
My job just sent volunteers to work at a Thanksgiving event for kids he did recently, giving away hundreds of Thanksgiving dinner meals for low income families in Minneapolis. He was there and you can tell he really cares.
r/bald is a very welcoming community Jaylen
Literally one of the most positive subs on all of reddit haha
They always look better when they shave it off too.
They all have facial hair which does not bode well for me.
Whatever. You’ll be bald and beautiful bro.
Hopefully, in 20 years I’ll still have the same amount of hair as I do now. It was thinning but I’m on Fin now.
Yeah, cause people only post there if it looks good.
When you hold onto your hair for too long, it will always look good to shave it bald. Thinning hair will look better than being bald until it doesn’t. A lot of the people on bald are those that should have shaved their head years ago. Like I don’t understand how most of those people from top posts had half their scalp exposed and thought they could still try to rock hair.
Seeing the comments be a bunch of “Would” variations always cracks me up
French is such a beautiful language
He only got that close to him because he is wearing a black jersey and the hairline wouldn’t rub off on it
T-Wolves lucky they wore their black jerseys against Brown
Come on home brotha
No doubt, that’s what Rudy said!
“Brother iss ok, look at me”
Someone get this man an interview with Baldcafe
Rudy looks so damn good
Man pulls off bald really well
was thinking that, rudy really suits bald
I thought he buzzed / shaved his hair on a live stream
Yeah that was when he noticed he was cooked there been few times where he was using the hair in can and it rubbed on on others
That was ai apparently, he just trimmed it
What are those jerseys? Thought Jaylen was in a Pels jersey for a second
Karem, MJ, Magic, Barkley, Shaq, Kobe, Hakeem, KG, Ginobili, Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, etc.
If there´s a sport where being full bald is cool it´s basketball.
JOIN US JAYLEN, balds beautiful
It’s indeed a big brotherhood
Got nothing but respect for the guys that shave it all. Brethren, I’ll be with you soon. Make me as strong as you are.
It looks fine
Rudy go brrr
Lowkey gotta go bald to be one of the goats 🤷🏽♂️
Now he needs to get LeBron to promise never to wear his hair-hat again and just shave that shit. When cadaver hair donation becomes more doable, he can pop over to turkey, get them follicles stuck in, and get his ass back before training camp for his 35th season.
Every legend goes bald at some point
Duncan, Nash, Russell, Erving, McHale, Bird, Cowens, Pippen, Roberston, Stockton, Zeke, West
Duncan basically did balding in reverse
Except for them
I never understood guys with very short hair that don’t just shave it like Jaylen and LeBron. They would basically look no different. If they had to have long hair because they had to cover up a big ass forehead or a badly shaped face/head, can’t really grow a beard, it makes a bit more sense
Painted hair jb is mvp
Not even a chirp it’s like just roll with it welcome to the club
This is more in line with the image of a baguette.
I wouldn’t be mad about it because those words came from the bald himself, I would definitely be mad if Suggs said that
What’s come home in French?
Your awkward friend that bring up a joke that you forgot about.
Can’t they afford a trip to Turkey though? They’re wealthy enough to get a good hair transplant, tbh I’d do it if in their position.
His head shape looks conducive to shaving it all off. He’s close enough already.
Nice dig into a major insecurity right before the game
Jalen Suggs and Devin Carter about to get the talk next from Rudy
The bald guy in the back and D-White just hovering nearby lol
Rudy “Go Bald”
Rudy Gobald
He has the perfect head shape for a baldie. Now, all that’s left is acceptance.
The meeting of the minds
So sad seeing Jaylen desperately fighting a losing battle against baldness
Remind Bron next pleaaaasee Mr.Gobert!
Someday somehow this bald gate will crossover with AEW fans treatment of bald wrestlers in a strange crossover of my interests.
For a moment didn’t recognize Brown minus his hair dye and whatever else he glues up there.
Kobe and I went bald at the same time, they was callin me Kobe for years
Honestly rubbing your hair dye on players should be a league ban. Man up. Shave it.
🤣 I honestly forgot ru shaved his head lmao what the hell was he doing out there tonight anyway I seen neemias almost had a 20 20 Game on him
Always spreading infections
Gobert wants to be Andrew Tate so bad
I hate Redditors
Haha eww. Projection?
Rudy is a Tucker Carlson fan. Not that much of a stretch.
Huh. Is he?
Yeah he’d followed him and liked some sketchy ass tweets before all that stuff went private.
considering Gobert was reposting a book on his social media from the French Andrew Tate, not really
There’s a French guy also charged with rape, embezzlement, murder, organized crime?
yes
If you know anything about the French, yes
Why does every single thing on reddit have to revert back to the liberal/conservative paradigm?
Life is politics. Life is getting harder.
We’ve had liberals, we’ve had conservatives, yet at the end of the day, most people are struggling more than they ever have. So stop being on one side or the other. We’re on the same team. Lets just watch basketball and forget these corrupt losers in Washington for a second
Yeahhhhhhhh, no. WTF. What nonsense.
god centrists are annoying
I have friends and family like this. Doesn’t matter what the occasion is, have to point out why the opposing party is bad and why you should feel bad.
“If the other side wins, it’s over”
