Just days after the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers announced that they’re swapping first-round draft picks, NBA fans received yet another surprise.

On Tuesday, a photo made it’s rounds on the Internet of Kawhi Leonard posing after a workout, without his signature cornrows. The San Antonio Spurs star was one of the few NBA players known for his trademark braids, besides Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony, pre-cut. Of course, the Internet had a field day with Leonard’s new look.

Some fans are on the fence about a braidless Kawhi:
