There was an audible gasp in the press room of the Kaseya Center when Jimmy Butler walked in to attend the media day duties in 2022. As images from the event circulated on social media, the entire NBA community buzzed with curiosity about Butler’s sudden new look featuring dreadlocks. Just as fans began to acclimate to this unexpected change, the forward reverted to his signature style, revealing that the dreadlocks were simply a fashion statement for the occasion.

Fast-forward to their next annual Media Day in 2023, Butler again donned a new look, which was a shocker, even considering Jimmy Butler’s antics. When inquired about it, the fashionista said, “I’m very emotional right now. This is my emo state and I like this. This is me.” Soon enough, the appearance of straightened hair covering an eye also disappeared when he got back with the team to start the 2023-24 season. Since Jimmy has created a wave with his hairstyle, fans have begun to speculate what look Butler will sport this year as the Heat’s Media Day draws near.

Betting is no longer limited to the actions on the hardwood. Now bets are even placed on Jimmy Butler’s appearance for the Media Day. Yes, and it only gets better from here. As per Bovada’s website, there is a +650 odds for Jimmy Buckets to turn his hair into a Mohawk while +850 odds were on twisties with low fade. Afro and dyed hair are also among the predictions with +550 odds each. But the favorite one is sure to make you laugh. According to an X post from Basketball Forever, “There are betting markets on Jimmy Butler’s hairstyle for media day, and the favorite is bald.”

With Jimmy Butler, you never know if he finds the idea appealing and proceeds to scratch his previous plans, shaving his head instead. However, it would prevent him from going back to his usual style for the regular season then. With that downside to it, the fans will only get to know about his 2024 media day look, when the 35-year-old joins the others at the presser.

Catch Jimmy Butler and Co on Miami Heat’s Media Day

After a not-so-impressive season, the Miami Heat will face the media and their hard-hitting questions on September 30 at the Kaseya Center. The media can ask regarding Jimmy Butler’s injury, the Heat’s early exit from the postseason tournament, the roster changes and upcoming strategies. President Pat Riley will be joining Erik Spoelstra and his team for the session. The press conference’s timing is yet to be confirmed. This makes the Heat one of the seven franchises who are yet to confirm the timing, as per NBA.com. The team’s official YouTube channel will be broadcasting the entire session live.

Butler and Co. will fly off to the Bahamas and start their training camp at Baha Mar the following day. After a week of training, the team will have five preseason games before heading into the regular season. It starts with the game against the Magic on October 24.

Butler is coming off a disappointing personal season due to his injury in the playoffs. Playoff Jimmy had to contend with throwing jabs at the opponents off the court. Pat Riley gave him an earful for this. With his future seemingly lying elsewhere with the Nets and Warriors rumors swirling, this season could be Butler’s last chance to bring the chip to Miami. This could give him the opportunity to leave the franchise with his usual swagger.
