Jimmy Butler Surprises With 'No Shenanigans' Look at Miami Heat Media Day

Jimmy Butler showed up to Miami Heat Media Day on Monday with his most shocking look of all: himself.

After rocking ombre faux locs in 2022 and transforming into "emo Jimmy" the following year, there was significant interest surrounding Butler's appearance earlier today. There were even betting odds on the site Bovada regarding his hairstyle.

Instead, Butler was all business with his Media Day appearance, showing up as his authentic self.

"I'm here. Normal hair. No shenanigans. That's all I got," Butler said.

When asked if he had any looks in mind, the six-time NBA All-Star responded, "I don't even know. I don't even know. My mind isn't all the way...anywhere right now. I've been running around and trying to make it back here, so I'm just happy that I'm here, safe and sound."

Butler's all-business approach comes after Heat president Pat Riley suggested the 35-year-old should "keep your mouth shut" instead of talking trash about other teams, like the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks, that advanced further than Miami in the playoffs last season.

"For him to say that, I thought, 'Is that Jimmy trolling? Or is that Jimmy serious?,'" Riley said, per CBS Sports. "If you're not on the court playing against Boston, or on the court playing against the New York Knicks, you should keep your mouth shut."

Riley was also noncommittal at the time about working out a contract extension with Butler.

"Guess I got to hoop, got to prove that I am a major part of winning and rightfully so. I've done it before and this is no different," Butler said of the contract extension talks. "This is going to be a great year for myself. This is going to be a great year for the group of guys we have. That will take care of itself whenever that time comes."

In response to Riley pointing out how the organization would only "commit those kinds of resources unless you have somebody who's going to be there and available every single night," Butler stressed the importance of being available for his teammates.

"I just want to play basketball and want to be available, like Pat was talking about," he said, according to the Miami Herald. "I plan on being that… and making everybody happy."
