Jimmy Butler might score buckets after buckets but his recent hairdo choice has left fans with much to be desired. The Miami Heat star revealed his new hair extensions during practice and has left many shellshocked and confused. The player, who gave it all for his team in the playoffs, looks a lot different with the new hairdo. Last season, he used to braid his hair but this time around, he has been sporting really long dreads.

The star had also posted a step-by-step change of his hairdos on Instagram. He posted the video with the caption, “Now you see, Now you don’t”. This drastic change has come overnight for the Miami Heat star.

The shooting guard led his team to the Conference Finals but faltered there. His imperious form led many to compare him to Michael Jordan but all that came crashing down against the Boston Celtics. Nonetheless, he had an amazing postseason and is raring to go the distance next year too.

These are some of the fan reactions found on NBA Twitter. Some mocked Jimmy while others were shocked:
