One thing has become abundantly clear about Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat over the years: the star player likes to have fun.
You can see that when he celebrates a win on the court with his teammates and you can also see it with some off-court antics.
A few years ago, during the Orlando bubble, it was known that Butler started his own little coffee shop for NBA players as a way to make extra money on the side during the playoffs.
That’s just one example of him not taking things too seriously and looking to have a good time and get a rise out of others.

Well, he’s apparently done it again.
During the summer, fans were shocked by Butler’s new hairstyle, which was incredibly different than anything we had seen before.
Butler knew that it was going to cause a reaction – and that’s what he wanted.
“I’m just messing with stuff to make the internet mad. That was my goal this summer and it worked,” Butler told the press recently.
Butler isn’t all about causing reactions, he also wants to win too.
Butler Is Back
It doesn’t really matter what haircut Butler has, he and his team are still a huge threat in the East.
Some people forget it but they ended as the top team in the Eastern Conference last season and had been one of the best, most consistent teams all season long.
If it weren’t for the Boston Celtics, the Heat probably would have made the Finals.
A huge part of their success has been Butler’s incredible output on the court, as well as his leadership style.
The team has formed around him over the last few seasons and now the Heat are definitely his team.
