Cleveland Cavaliers leader Kyrie Irving has social media in tears. The NBA champion blew the Internet’s mind away this week by cutting off his signature beard and paying the ultimate trolling price.
Kyrie initially sparked everyone’s attention by releasing footage of his new look.

Based on the video and initial reactions, Kyrie will show off the fresh face for just a few weeks.
The Cleveland Cavaliers point guard says he needs to be clean-shaven for the next three weeks, but he’s going to try to be as inconspicuous as possible until he can grow his beard back. “Get it out now. It’s fine. It’s fine,” Irving said in the video. He doesn’t exactly explain why he had to shave, though he does mention “prosthetics” so maybe he’s filming some kind of commercial that requires lots of practical effects wizardry. Still, he says he knew the jokes are inevitable. (Uproxx)
The Internet did not waste any time and made sure to give their thoughts on his baby face.
