Jaylen Brown decided to give LeBron James a call while addressing the ongoing balding jokes being hurled in his direction.

As you may have seen, social media has been ablaze with speculation thanks to the mid-game clip of the Celtics player seen below. The NBA champ later addressed the ensuing chatter on stream, ultimately leading to him leaving a voicemail for LeBron.

“Bron, it’s little bro,” Brown said in the voicemail. “Call me back. We got some real shit to talk about. Code red, my n***a. Code red. They done caught me slipping. I need to know, Turkey or no Turkey? And I ain’t talking ‘bout no cheese sandwich. This some real shit, bro. Call your little bro back. Put all that other shit in the past.”

Jaylen also traded hair-related concerns with PlaqueBoyMax in a separate stream, conceding that his own response thus far has been “a whole crash-out.” As Brown pointed out, he recently turned 29, leaving him perplexed as to what is transpiring. A karmic theory was also (jokingly) presented.

“I just turned 29,” he said, as seen below. “I don’t know what happened. This all is happening fast to me. I used to make bald head jokes. … Maybe it’s been just catching back up. It’s karma.”

Elsewhere during the conversation, Max revealed that he was previously slated to get a hair transplant of his own, though he failed to go through with the process. Revisiting this possible remedy, the streaming star proposed that he and Jaylen could make the trip together.

For those unfamiliar with why, exactly, Turkey would be getting multiple mentions here, the gist of it all is that the country has become known in recent years for its more affordable approach to hair transplant procedures.

However, not everyone is particularly enthused by such prospects. Stephen A. Smith, for example, recently told Speedy Morman on an episode of Complex's 360I don’t really give two shits about what a man thinks about how I look” when Turkey's apparent dominance in the field was mentioned.
