Overview

  • After Boston’s 125–105 win over Cleveland, Brown said he did call LeBron James on his livestream and left a "Turkey or no Turkey" hair-transplant voicemail, which went unanswered.
  • NBC Sports Boston play-by-play announcer Drew Carter joked on-air that Brown would be "flying to Turkey" this season, a quip that circulated widely online.
  • Brown shaved his head live on Twitch following viral clips that showed dark residue from his hair product on OG Anunoby’s white Knicks jersey.
  • During the stream, he looked up flights to Turkey and joked that years of Boston media and championship pressure contributed to his hair loss.
  • Despite the noise, Brown is off to a strong start, averaging roughly 26 points with 5.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists, and he scored 30 in Wednesday’s home victory.
