LeBron James is no stranger to people talking about his hair. The Los Angeles Lakers star has faced scrutiny for this hairline from clearly bored NBA fans, even charting his headband movement over the years. However, he was on the other side this time, reacting to a ‘hilarious' thread on another player's locks – UCLA Bruins star Johnny Juzang.
Responding to claims that Juzang is the first true owner of the flossy curl look wearing a Bruins uniform, Josiah Johnson came up with an epic thread. The Twitter thread paid homage to some of the original funky hairstyles from UCLA alumni, including former Lakers Lonzo Ball and Matt Barnes.
Hate what just transpired to your school man but damn this thread is hilarious!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/JIvt686Ian

James clearly was amused by the deep dive into the hairstyle, as seen by the Lakers star's generous serving of laughing emojis.
Based on the thread, Juzang clearly wasn't the trend-setter for this look. The gold standard is apparently owned by Toby Bailey, who starred for UCLA from 1994-1998.

Juzang is far from the greatest player in UCLA history, too. The list ahead of him probably stretches into double-digits given UCLA's storied success. Bruins legends include the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, and Reggie Miller, not to mention more recent stars like Kevin Love and Baron Davis.
However, the fact that he isn't the first to rock the hairstyle, nor the greatest UCLA Bruins player doesn't diminish what he's been able to accomplish. Under his watch, the Bruins were a Jalen Suggs buzzer-beater, or an inverted charge call away from possibly making it to the NCAA title game as an 11th seed.
Johnny Juzang, take a bow.
