A lighthearted exchange between Rudy Gobert and Jaylen Brown at the end of Timberwolves–Celtics went viral after cameras appeared to capture Gobert telling Brown to shave his head. The clip, following Minnesota’s 119–115 win, shows the two stars in a cordial handshake line as Gobert leans in with a grin and a brief comment that online captions interpreted as a good‑natured nudge to “go bald.”
The moment landed squarely in the internet’s sense of humor and quickly became the night’s most replayed postgame snippet.
The video surfaced alongside full‑game highlights, with descriptions explicitly framing Gobert’s line as “told Jaylen Brown to shave his head,” and was later echoed by aggregation sites and social feeds. While the audio isn’t crystal clear in every upload, the consistent captions and context, two players sharing respect after a tight finish, helped cement the playful reading that fueled the meme’s spread late Saturday.
