Carlos Boozer’s twin sons are top prospects for the 2026 NBA draft, but he may have yet another legacy in the league: artificial hair. It would appear that Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown is carrying on the tradition. Over the weekend, Brown had two incidents in which some kind of dark residue on his head, possibly applied to simulate a hairline, appeared to smear onto the clothing of opposing players.
The first of these incidents occurred in the third quarter of Friday’s game against the New York Knicks. (His hairline was looking rather painterly in this pregame photo posted that day.) With Knicks wing OG Anunoby guarding him, Brown hit a ball fake and nuzzled his forehead against his defender’s torso. You can see the smudge occur in real time.
