Who doesn't love a fresh cut 😂

A handshake isn't quite enough: one Lakers player reaches up to touch Ja Morant's newly cut hair as they greet each other on court. Another approaches smiling, and Morant touches the back of his head before gesturing across the floor.

The NBA's Short, "Who doesn't love a fresh cut 😂", turns those brief postgame greetings into the whole attraction. There is no scoring highlight to wait for, just players interrupting the usual round of handshakes to acknowledge the haircut.

It reached roughly 675,000 views in nine hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for a Short. The comments are busier than a typical first day, too, with viewers drawing comparisons to Morant's rookie haircut and his Murray State days.

The league also has plenty of Lakers basketball drawing attention alongside it: full-game highlights against Portland, a separate Luka Dončić scoring reel, and two Shorts featuring his long-distance buzzer-beater and Bruce Springsteen's reaction. Morant's clip offers a different courtside detail: the greetings after the basketball is done.
