The 2024 NBA season is just around the corner and teams have already called their players for training camp. Ahead of the training camps, teams and players also indulged in the media day a few hours ago. Much like last year, Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler had a huge surprise under his belt. Instead of rocking his usual hairstyle, the 2023 NBA finalist shocked fans and media personnel with his new look.

This year, Butler is rocking a silky, wavy hair look, which completely changes his appearance. With his viral photos and videos doing the rounds on the internet, the NBA world has left no stone unturned to banter around Butler’s new look.

Jimmy Butler leaves everyone shocked

Butler has mastered the art of trolling by now. A year ago, he entered the NBA Media Day rocking huge dreadlocks! While many thought the dreadlocks were real, it was later confirmed that they were fake. So why did Butler wear them? He just wanted to troll the fans.

“I’m just messing with stuff to make the internet mad,” said the 6-time All-Star during the Media Day press conference. It looks like Butler is in the same mood. During the 2023 NBA Media Day, he has changed his look again!
