“Laughing and feeling sorry” for NBA superstars suffering from baldness.

To reach the top level in the toughest tournament on the planet, NBA superstars must continuously improve and practice. Even LeBron James has to spend a large amount of money every year to invest in himself to maintain his muscle mass and physical condition at the best level. Ironically, one thing that big superstars in the NBA have to deal with and find ways to overcome is gradually thinning hair.

On average, 66% of men in the US will begin to lose hair when they reach the age of 35. Despite having bushy beards, the following players’ hair gradually disappears from the age of 25. , very far from the average mark. Various measures are also applied by sufferers to improve “hair is a human aspect”.

To reach greatness, hair loss is one of the things that NBA superstars have to trade off?

1. LeBron James

Even on the same face, LeBron James’s hair is inversely proportional to his beard. “The King” had hair loss problems very early when he was only 20 years old. By the age of 23, James’s hair line on his forehead had gradually disappeared, causing him to go bald. Bigman of the Cavaliers at that time was quite shy when appearing on television with realistic hair.

LeBron James could not use hair loss medication at that time because this medication was banned by the International Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). That’s why LeBron James later applied other methods such as hair transplant and fake hair extensions. Using a keratin powder to sprinkle on his head, LeBron James can create an “illusion” that makes the other person unable to recognize the bald scalp.

2. Shaquille O’Neal

In addition to his great physical strength, Shaquille ONeal is also known for his bald head and beard. Despite having a shaved head for most of his time playing in the NBA, there was a rare time when Shaquille ONeal kept a funny haircut while playing for the Lakers. However, the amount of hair is gradually thinning, causing ONeal to decide to shave his head to maintain aesthetics.

Even though he doesn’t have to take any measures to prevent hair loss, the hair line on the first half of Shaquille ONeal still looks very funny. Even in a bet with Dwayne Wade, ONeal lost and agreed to shave a funny line of hair, showing off his bald forehead.

3. Kevin Durant

The Brooklyn Nets superstar has shown signs of hair loss since he was 30 years old. The hair on Durant’s head was unevenly distributed and jagged, causing his baldness to become more and more visible. At the peak of the 2021 Playoffs, fans were “distressed” by Durant’s large bald head. If timely intervention measures are not applied, it is likely that Durant’s hair will suffer the same fate as his colleague LeBron James.

4. Trae Young

Even though he is only 22 years old, Trae Young already has serious hair loss problems. The Hawks defender has thin hair, with a large bald spot in the middle of the top of his head. In the 2022 Playoffs round, Knicks fans “warmly” welcomed Trae with chants of “bald Trae Young” in the stands. However, Trae Young’s talent also goes beyond his age, just like his hair. The young defender’s bravery has been proven in the NBA through 3 excellent seasons.
