LeBron James Is “Follically Challenged”, Claims Business Partner As HBO Show Ventures Into Beauty Industry

LeBron James and Maverick Carter’s brainchild, The Shop Men’s Grooming Line, hit Walmart stores today. As the name suggests, The Shop is inspired by the award-winning TV talk show of the same name on HBO, co-created by Paul Rivera and Randy Mims in 2016. The launch date of the grooming line coincides with their “Be The Face” campaign, a creative initiative starring James, Carter, and Rivera designed to empower men to be the most confident version of themselves with barbershop-inspired tools.

In a recently released video for The Shop’s “Be The Face” campaign, business partner Maverick Carter couldn’t resist poking fun at James’ balding head. When asked who among the hosts has the best hair, Carter hilariously replied, “It’s not even close. PR and LeBron are hair follically, I don’t even know if that’s a word, challenged.”

This takes us back to when Dwayne Wade made a similar remark. According to James’ former teammate, D-Wade, the higher power gave James everything except the ability to grow hair on his head. During an appearance on I AM ATHLETE, Wade said, “It was like when God made him, he was like, ‘I’m going to give you all this. But I’m going to take one thing from you. I’m not going to give you no lining. But I’m going to give you everything else.” Hopefully, The Shop’s hair care range will help LeBron maintain whatever is left of his hair.
