?He Had a Thing for Miley Cyrus?: Jimmy Butler?s Obsession With $160 Million-Worth Popstar Once Drove His Teammates to Breaking Point

Jimmy Butler?has always taken an unconventional course and followed his own rules. In the case of music, he prefers country music over his basketball peers. They are primarily fans of rap and hip-hop. Butler’s taste, however, reflects his roots in the Southern town of Tomball, Texas. He even occasionally wore cowboy boots when playing as a rookie for the Chicago Bulls. Butler bravely lets his true self shine.

In recent news, Jimmy Butler’s teammates revealed his obsession with pop icon Miley Cyrus.

Jimmy Butler is a huge Miley Cyrus fan

The Heat’s undisputed captain, Jimmy Butler, sets the tone for the team’s performances. Before games, Butler frequently listens to a wide variety of musical artists. This includes Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and Rick Ross. The Miami Heat highly values Butler’s leadership (and DJing skills!). This is despite the team’s possibly diverse musical preferences. They understand that his outstanding performances trump any preferences they might have. ‘Himmy’ averages 30 points each game.

Fittingly, in a recent interview with ESPN, Jimmy Butler’s obsession with Miley Cyrus came to light.

Butler’s room in Humphrey Hall served as the gathering place for the Marquette players while he played collegiate basketball. The lounge, where teammates would frequently congregate for various activities, quickly became a place of laughing and shared experiences. For example, organizing spontaneous blackjack games was one of the most common pastimes.

Butler’s teammates got a taste of his varied musical preferences as the sound system filled the room with music. He flawlessly switched from Lil Wayne’s rhymes to Tim McGraw’s compassionate songs to Young Jeezy’s upbeat tunes in his playlist.

However, Butler’s affection for Miley Cyrus was what really caught his roommates’ attention. Maurice Acker, who was his teammate said, “He had a thing for Miley Cyrus, a big-time thing.”

Butler watched Hannah Montana?in the confines of his room to unwind. They started making light-hearted jokes, saying, “Jimmy watching Disney Channel again.” Whenever they’d find Jimmy absorbed in Hannah Montana, they’d seek cover in another room! Butler’s love for the show remained unwavering despite the jibes.

One such incident includes Butler proudly strutting around with his brand-new Hannah Montana rucksack slung over his shoulder. Another noteworthy event occurred when Butler donned a pink bunny outfit. He even bravely wore it about his campus. Butler never gave a hoot about other people’s opinions. Way to go Butler!
