Jaylen Brown has never been afraid of a viral moment, but this one had a different tone. The Celtics star dialed up LeBron James mid-livestream to talk hairlines, of all things, and ended up leaving what might be the funniest voicemail of the NBA year. But while the internet replayed the moment on loop, it wasn’t LeBron who answered back. It was Savannah James who offered the only proper solution to the problem everyone was joking about.

Almost a week later, on her hit podcast Everybody’s Crazy, the Queen of Cool herself offered what might just solve Brown’s problem. Midway through the “Beauty Edition” call-in, Savannah picked up a question from a man named Brandon from Chicago. His dilemma? His hair wouldn’t grow back right. 

Savannah, to her credit, couldn’t stop being a girl’s girl as she offered a solution while helping her friend’s business in the same minute. “My close friend has a brand and line called Rejuvagrow,” she said casually.

“She has a hair oil, and she has a hair tea. So my recommendation is to go there. The tea is we’ve been talking from the inside out, so like, drink the tea to help your hair grow back, and then the oil for your hair. So that is what I would recommend.” It was practical, but more importantly, it felt perfectly timed.

A week after Brown’s livestream meltdown, LeBron’s wife just offered the most sensible fix in the room. Whether intentional or not, Savannah’s timing was impeccable. Jaylen Brown’s livestream had turned a running joke about his hairline into an entire NBA side quest.

Fans couldn’t stop dissecting the clip where he said, “LeBron, it’s Lil Bro. Call me back. We got some real sh– to talk about. It’s a code red… Turkey or no Turkey?” He’d followed it up with lines like, “I blame Boston. Ten years of stress. This is y’all fault,” and the memes practically wrote themselves. It would’ve ended there, if not for the history.

Earlier this year, during All-Star Weekend, LeBron James seemed to skip over Brown during introductions, an awkward flashback that reignited an old clip where Brown questioned Bronny James’ NBA potential. When Brown then called LeBron for hair advice, it felt like a peace offering wrapped in humor. A truce that only made sense in NBA culture.

Now, Savannah entering the chat adds a twist. Because where LeBron went silent, she spoke through empathy and brand synergy that could make Kris Jenner jealous. The woman behind Reframe Beauty, her own skincare brand, has become one of the more influential voices in the lifestyle-meets-pop-culture world.

147k people heard Savannah James’ indirect hairline-problem advice to Jaylen Brown

Her podcast Everybody’s Crazy has a 4.8-star rating on Spotify and over 147,000 Instagram followers, and Savannah herself sits at a cool 2.5 million. Even her co-host, April McDaniels, has a 60.1K Instagram following. She’s not just LeBron’s wife anymore, but a brand herself and, well, clearly, a problem solver.

What makes Savannah’s response so striking is how effortlessly she plays both sides of fame, including the family brand and her own lane. While LeBron’s been the global symbol of control, Savannah’s built a more modest empire of relatability, even with her Pilates!

On Everybody’s Crazy, she isn’t selling perfection. She’s laughing, advising, and sometimes, apparently, diagnosing hair emergencies. The call-in advice to use Rejuvagrow was on-brand diplomacy. Without addressing the LeBron-Jaylen saga directly, Savannah still entered the conversation and, somehow, managed to humanize the entire situation. 

And that exact precision has made her one of the most subtly influential figures circling NBA culture today. Her timing often says more than any comment section ever could. Meanwhile, Brown’s original message to LeBron still remains.

He asked for advice, sure, but maybe what he really wanted was acknowledgment. A nod from the man whose name still carries more weight than any brand of hair oil could match. And if that never comes, well, Savannah James just offered the next best thing.

A fix that works, a wink that sells, and a reminder that not every call needs to be returned when your better half already answered it.
