"Bro turned this into a bag" - Donovan Mitchell Joins NBA Fans in Praising Jaylen Brown’s Savage Clapback to Hairline Trolls

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has addressed his hairline concerns, which have haunted him throughout this season. Brown partnered with hair growth supplement Nutrafol on Sunday, following on-scenes where he was caught with a fake hairline during NBA games.

Brown announced it on his social media account, acknowledging the memes and on-court clips where his fake hair dye stained jerseys. The Celtics star said it is part of staying sharp on and off the court.

"It is all part of the journey of staying sharp on and off the court," he said. "At some point, you start to notice all the little things. For me, my hair started to thin out a bit. First, you brushed it off, but then you really start to pay attention." "Being a professional athlete, you have to perform under bright lights. Everything is magnified. Your appearance, the way you walk, the way you talk."

Other fans on X also lauded Brown for making the most of his hair dilemma while the season is ongoing.

Aside from rubbing off his hair dye to opponents' jerseys, Brown has also gone viral after calling LA Lakers star LeBron James for advice about a thinning hairline.

This year, Brown has been putting up career numbers, averaging 29.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game as he has become the Celtics' go-to scorer with Jayson Tatum sidelined with a torn Achilles.

Jaylen Brown gets candid on viral moments regarding his fake hair

Jaylen Brown's on-court mishaps about his hair did not affect him. Instead, it even made him more focused, according to him.

In his interview with Jackie Fields of People, Brown got candid about the effects of his viral hair moments on his game.

"I was a little bit embarrassed. And then I got mad at myself for being embarrassed at all," he said. "When those moments happen and people think they're making fun of me, it actually makes me become a stronger, more disciplined, more focused individual." "So I'm like, 'Why not?' I'd do it next week if I needed to get my mind to where it needed to be. I'll rub my hair on three more teams."

With Brown leading the charge, the Celtics remained among the top teams in the East, currently standing at the third spot with a 17-11 record.
