Jimmy Butler Takes a No-Nonsense Approach at Heat Media Day

Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler took a no-nonsense approach at Media Day on Monday.

After two seasons rocking new hairstyles at Media Day, Butler was back to his normal look to tip off the 2024-25 campaign.

Butler made a splash last year

by showing up basically in costume — new hairdo, some facial piercings and a look that went viral immediately. It was his “Emo Jimmy” phase, he said. And he did something similar in 2022, going through media day with dreadlocks in another switch from his usual look.

This year, Jimmy was just Jimmy. Social media was wondering what he’d come up with this year, and perhaps to the chagrin of those posters, he kept things simple.

Butler was not at the start of Heat media day on Monday morning, after his flight back from Paris was delayed — travel issues — and he didn’t arrive in South Florida until early afternoon, a few hours behind schedule.
