During a recent livestream, Jaylen Brown leaned into the internet’s jokes about his hairline and made a surprise call to none other than LeBron James, asking if a trip to Turkey might be the solution.
“It’s real, chat. I’m about to call LeBron… speaker… You don’t answer. So I’m gonna leave a voicemail,” Brown said, laughing as he dialed.
The voicemail? Instantly iconic.
“LeBron, it’s Lil Bro. Call me back. We got some real sh*t to talk about. It’s a code red… Turkey or no turkey?”

Brown’s call was a tongue-in-cheek reference to Turkey’s reputation as a global hub for hair restoration procedures, a topic that’s long been associated with LeBron James, whose hairline has been the subject of speculation and memes for years.
While LeBron hasn’t publicly responded to the voicemail, the internet is waiting. Rather than dodge the jokes, Brown embraced them, turning the moment into a viral sensation. In an age where athletes are scrutinized for every move, Brown’s playful approach to a sensitive topic was refreshing.
