Jimmy Butler has been trolling NBA fans for the last two seasons by changing his hair on media day to an outlandish style. This year, Butler showed up with 'emo' hair. He has doubled down on that emo reputation, appearing in the latest music video for the band Fall Out Boy's song 'So Much (For) Stardust.'
When it comes to emo music, the only band that would be even more emo that Butler could appear in a music video for is My Chemical Romance. Butler is a consistent presence in this music video, playing the protagonist in a pretty interesting video that is worth a watch.
Everyone will be waiting to see what hairstyle Butler pulls up to next year's media day with. Given his penchant for country music, maybe we see Butler pull off something even crazier and end up featuring in a Morgan Wallen or Luke Combs video next year.
As the winter months dwindle and Spring comes closer, we know that the Miami Heat are about to be a revamped team. They've been middling for most of the season, fighting to stay out of the Play-In Tournament in the East while dealing with a series of injuries that had weakened the team. But even with injuries and suspensions on the roster, the Heat are currently on a five-game win streak.
Butler recently spoke about the team's positive form, claiming they don't care who they're being put up against anymore as their goal is to maximize all wins possible.
"Our team is so ready for anything that anybody’s thrown at us. We’re so together, playing some incredible basketball. I don’t think it matters who we go up against right now. It’s that time of the year."
The Heat are currently the No. 5 seed in the East with a record of 33-25. They'll have to continue playing positive basketball if they hope to distance themselves from the chasing pack which includes dangerous teams like the Indiana Pacers and the Orlando Magic. The Heat are just 2.5 games behind the fourth-seeded Knicks, so they'll hope to secure first-round home-court advantage before the postseason starts.
Butler is averaging 21.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.7 assists this season, but the main difference-maker for the Heat has been Bam Adebayo. Bam is averaging 20.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 4.1 assists and putting together one of the best defensive seasons of his career. Even Tyler Herro is having a strong year on the team, averaging 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.4 assists despite various injury setbacks.
Erik Spoelstra signed one of the biggest contracts in NBA coaching history for a reason. He knows how to extract the most from his squad, and the Heat are going to be a nightmare playoff matchup for anyone in the East.
