Jimmy Butler Debuts Emo Look, X Reacts

Jimmy Butler is most known for his exploits on the basketball court and for being an elite coffee snob but there is a new side of him emerging. During a media day event for the Miami Heat, Jimmy Butler debuted a new hairstyle that seemed to be inspired by the R&B bands of the 80s, and fans on X are reacting. Jimmy Butler, 34, appeared at the media day event for the Heat on Monday (October 2) and displayed his typical confidence in leading his squad back to the NBA Finals and finally completing the goal of winning it all. But all the chatter today is about Butler’s new look, which is a permed and layered hairstyle with piercings and the whole nine.
