The NBA’s round of media days always leaves some nice quotes, pictures, and impressions.
However, Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler has found a way to steal all the headlines for the second straight season during this time of the year.
Last season, the two-way forward arrived in dreadlocks, cutting them off right after the pictures and forcing the league to use that hilarious pic of him throughout the course of the season.
Now, the Marquette product doubled down on that prank by showing up with his a new look and hairdo.
He arrived with straightened hair and multiple piercings.
When asked about it, he simply said he was “emo” (via NBACentral).

Butler later claimed that he was feeling very emotional as of late, and that he might even carry that look onto the court, because you never know how he’s going to feel later.
Butler is simply hilarious, and you can tell that the only thing he actually takes seriously is the NBA playoffs.
The former Chicago Bulls star might be a little sad because his team failed to get Damian Lillard, thus the emo phase.
Butler actively recruited Lillard at the beginning of the offseason, and the Heat reportedly made several offers for his services.
Still, it seemed like the Portland Trail Blazers were never interested in trading with them, and they got a much better offer with that three-team trade with the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns.
We get it, Jimmy; we would feel quite sad too.
