He should wear one in his last game

Wildcard: He will wear LeFaceMask

Probably without, but as long as he’s still tossin’ the chalk, that’s all that matters.

In his final game he’ll be at 25/7/7, and the headband will slip down and block his eyes when he’s shooting the final shot.

MF would probably still make it.

Each era has 2 championships as well. edit: Also it goes further, his resume is perfectly matched in major stats.

Headband LeBron is the version that lives rent-free in my head.

I remember his headband fell off during the infamous Game 6 against the Celtics and it was like an emperor with no clothes situation 

He wore the headband to hide his receding hairline. That’s why it was so high up on his forehead. It wasn’t until he got hair treatment that he felt he could ditch the headband.

At this age he looks so much better without the headband. He’s never looked more unc than when he wore one for the game where he broke the scoring record. People in the future will watch that highlight and assume it was in his final season because the headband makes him look so old lol

He put one on when passing Kareem - I’d imagine he wants to be remembered with it

My ass is old enough to remember the game where his headband got knocked off and he was weirdly intent on not putting it back on

Yns don’t kno headband LeBron.

He was a menace, thought my boy drose was gonna steal the nba from him but he held on to the crown until Steph and jokic came to

He has another decade or so to go, and he’ll play it wearing a top hat.

This is honestly interesting to think about for some reason haha.

I’ll always remember him with the headband, but it’s because I’m old now. I think it will be like a Kobe 8 vs 24 thing where the old heads remember him as 8 but everyone else remembers him as 24.

The headband is vital to the Bron experience. He just looks wrong without it somehow

Without because its more recent

The headband was a better look

He should I wear the shortest shorts allowed this year!

For trying to hide the balding 

I’m still waiting on shiny smooth head Bron. Maybe it’s his final form

Dang, I never even thought of this. Good question. I do think he’ll be remembered with it because most people consider Miami his best years. That first half of his career is also just better. He won mvps, and made all defensive teams. He also wore one for most of his time with the Cavs.

I thought he bestowed his headband to Austin Reaves, like Steve giving the shield to Sam.

LeBalaclava

Being a Celtics fan, Cleveland and Miami LeBron is etched in my mind.

Specifically the LeBron vs Pierce headband battles.

Before I saw this post on if I was in a life or death situation and the question I needed to answer was does LBJ wear a headband I would’ve answered yes. For whatever reason it’s never hit me that he abandoned the headband a decade ago.

I was a HUGE LBJ fan from the STVM days til he went to Miami so maybe it’s just how I’ll always remember him but also the majority of his iconic moments came with the headband. If you were a young adult/adult through his whole career idk how you could say he’s remembered more without one tbh

I thought because it was Josh Smith’s signature headband

LeBald James

I like Headband LeBron better

“almost exactly”

Bron decision can’t come soon enough.

When he got his hairline fixed lol

LeBron needs to bring back the headband + black mask combo for his final game.

lol I love how this is one of the hottest topics of this sub

Do headband LeBron and no headband LeBron both get inducted?

It’s probably like Kobe with 8 and 24. It depends on which era you’re talking about.

You know it’s really the offseason when stupid articles like this are actually published

He didn’t permanently abandon it. He still wears it sometimes.

It will always be the headbanded Cleveland #23 LeBron for me. He’s the reason i started watching the NBA 21 years ago

Without. A vast majority of the Top images when his name is searched are without. The first images on Wikipedia are also without. Overtime I think it will be the default

Lelastic Band. Lasts until age 42

He’ll be remembered with half a headband on one side of his head and no headband on the other side of his head

if he goes to the heat he’s gotta bring it back

That’s wild to me. I still vividly remember the Finals game 6 against the Spurs where he lost his headband and rallied them back. We all thought it looked so weird to see him playing without one at the time.

Without IMO, his 2015-2018 runs were legendary.

This is actually a crazy fact

That’s insane lol and honestly I think he’ll be remembered more without it

He put one on for the all time scoring record game. Looked weird tbh

The “asking the important questions” part of the offseason has started I see.

Him wearing a headband is gonna fall into the mandala effect in the future.

Never for get that hairline fam.

LeBron is the the only player that can wear his own uniform on throwback jersey night.

What the actual f. This is the burning question you have. Might need a hobby.

The headband because of how much shit he’d get for it

Probably with. His absolute peak years happened when he was still rocking the headband.

The no headband coincides with other looks that makes me forget about it like those damn sleeved Cavs jerseys and now the shorter shorts style

These are the real questions we need to consider.

God damn, people really are bored.

He’ll always be headband Bron to me

He’ll be remembered as the president of hair club for men

I will always remember home for the headband toupee incident

Damn, do y’all remember the playoff game against the Spurs where they knocked it off and he never wear it again

He wore it for the record breaker

The 2nd Cleveland run is his peak so without.

Well my wife calls LeBron “Headband Man” so at least in our household he will be remembered with a headband.

If the Heat won G6 in a different fashion (ie without the Ray Allen 3), I think that game becomes memorialized as “The Headband Game”. Watching it real time, that’s what it felt like up until that 3. Now it’s more of a niche nba memory more than it is an iconic narrative. Headband-less LeBron dragged the Heat back into that game.

Going to be pretty similar to Kobe and his jersey number I think.

Who cares?

Not going to lie, I read headband as husband at first. I was very confused.

I just assign Kobe #16 in my head. Similarly, I think a thin Halo would be the solution here. 

He’ll be remembered with the headband imo because that is when the balding jokes began.

Peak offseason content

I think of this often

When I picture him in my head, he’s wearing the headband. Even though I’ve watched more of his sans headband games than the headband games.

With. Miam Bron did stuff to me. A core memory of hatred from young me

Depends on when you were born I guess. I still remember him with a hedband and it will probably stay that way

LeBarbies NPC’s for you folks. You can’t make this shit up. 😂

headband lebron was 10 times better, silly question

my favorite Lebron period was the first Cleveland stint so the headband will always be how I remember him.

Who fucking cares

For me it’s headband LeBron. Headband is prime LeBron imo.

ETA: The iconic Slam issue with LeBron and Sebastian Telfair is a core memory that definitely plays a part in how I will remember LeBron.

I’m in McDonald’s drive thru getting a dollar large fry.. read the beginning of this post and laughed from my fucking gut 😂😂

For me, headband bron

The way that he went Super Saiyan after Duncan knocked it off of him in Game 6 of the 2013 Finals is one of those milestone moments in his career.

Should read hairline not headband.

Headband lebron will be remembered

With a headband

Lebron if you are reading this and you decide to return to Cleveland plz bring back that thick mustache.

Cleveland mustache Lebron was the best version of Lebron.

I’ll remember him for balding then having hair then kinda balding then having a lot of hair again

Almost exactly?

Head band Lebron was a problem

probably mainly without, just because its in more recent memory. we naturally remember more recent things stronger. most people associate 24 more strongly with kobe than 8, even though he played equal time with both. when you think of the bulls runs in the 90s, you think of rodman before you think of horace grant, despite both being the #3 guy for a threepeat. because lebron’s headband era came first, it will be less remembered.

What? Did an intern write this?

No-headband and headband Bron eras like Kobe’s 8 and 24.

With a headband, without a headband, Lebron will always be remembered as NOT THE G.O.A.T.

Suck it.

LePED will be remembered as a person who was allowed to use PEDs his entire career.

Probably be remembered for the receeding hairline before the headband.

Insane levels of unemployment vibes coming from this post
