It’s been just a week into the NBA regular season, and social media has already started creating memes on the funniest things happening around the league.
One popular meme that has picked up traction recently is around the viral clips of Celtics’ Jaylen Brown’s hair.
Why did Jaylen Brown call LeBron James for advice?
Brown went viral a couple of times for having unfortunate in-game moments where his hair rubbed against a defender’s jersey, leaving behind a stain.
Social media did its thing by creating memes out of the moment, ultimately leading to Brown himself having to publicly acknowledge the issue.

He posted on his Instagram page on Tuesday that he would be live-streaming that night at 7 PM EST, with the caption “I’m cooked ngl (three hand over face emojis) tap in.”
Brown addressed the issue with the status of his hair, even at one point in the stream, calling NBA superstar LeBron James.
James didn’t answer the phone, but Brown left a voicemail saying, “Code red…they caught me slipping. I need to know Turkey or no Turkey, and I ain’t talking about no cheese sandwich. This some real s*** bro, call your lil bro back, put all that s*** in the past” (via Legion Hoops).
James himself is reaching an older age, and with that comes issues with his hair, which social media has made memes about plenty of times in the past.
Brown, in a sarcastic yet serious voice, was looking for advice on what to do with this issue at age 29.
Aside from this dilemma he has faced, he has played very well as an individual to start the season, averaging 26.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists.
