Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler shocks with traditional look on NBA Media Day
Top 5 NBA teams for the 2024-25 season | For the Hoops
The FTH squad ranks their top five teams heading into the 2024 NBA season.
Miami Heat All-Star Jimmy Butler has a knack for messing with NBA media personnel. The past several years, Butler has shown up to media day wearing some outrageous get-up or hair style all in an effort to look as ridiculous as possible for starting lineup graphics when his team’s games air on television.
In 2023, he showed up to media in full emo attire.
And here he is in 2022 with luscious dreadlocks.
Butler’s look this year has been speculated so much that some people were even placing bets on Butler’s hairstyle for 2024 media day.
However, after all the speculation, Butler wound up opting for his normal look.

Jimmy Butler’s 2024 media day look
In a shocking turn of events, Butler opted to do nothing special for 2024 media day. Instead, Butler simply showed up as normal. Does this mean he is more locked in than usual for the upcoming season? Has he put such chicanery behind him? Perhaps Butler simply wanted to subvert expectations now that everyone was anticipating something wild. Who knows?
