Ever since NBA games resumed at the bubble in Orlando, Florida, fans have taken notice of LeBron James and his visible bald spot. While viewers have been trolling James' hairline for years, the memes and jokes have increased after the Los Angeles Lakers icon himself shared a photo of a James-Resse Cup meme. In response to his recent photo where he kneels in protest during the national anthem, fans took to social media to ask James to finally shave his head.

James' recent photo was compared to a goldfish cracker, along with the Ben 10 logo and the World Cup trophy. The meme James shared on his Instagram story, was of a different angle, which was compared to a peanut butter cup whose chocolate gets stuck on the wrapper. While fans appreciated the 35-year-old icon being able to laugh at himself, they also asked him to shave his head. "Seriously bro no one cares," one user wrote, while another asked the Lakers star to just "hang it up".

While James has never publicly addressed his bald spot, his recent posts on social media have featured his much-evident bald spot. The Instagram story he shared had the three-time NBA champion laugh at himself. "One of the funniest [memes] I’ve seen. Hated when my Reese cup would do that but guess what I still kept it and ate it so," James wrote. A few weeks ago, fans had trolled James' hairline after Savannah James shared a photo of Zhuri James playing with her father's hair on Father's Day. Fans appreciated James spending time with his daughter, but also compared it to Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry's receding hairline.
