Media day 2024 is here and all eyes are on Jimmy Butler, the NBA's master of media day trolling, to see what new hairstyle he'll debut.

Tyler Herro had a new haircut for media day. Jimmy Butler’s hairstyle was still to be determined. And with that, the Miami Heat season started in predictably unpredictable fashion. Butler was not at the start of Heat media day on Monday morning,

Due to a traveling snafu, Butler was a late arrival to Heat media day ahead of the 2024-25 season. Though he was reportedly on hand, Butler did not meet with the media at the same time as head coach Erik Spoelstra or teammates Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro.

During Hardaway’s interview, podcast co-host Stephen Jackson added that perhaps Riley is also tired of Tyler Herro, who has sporadically missed time due to injury while the Heat have been “babying” him. Hardaway replied: “He’s probably talking about both of them, but I think he’s really talking directly to his star.”

But most are simply eager to see how Butler will show up to Heat media day this year after showing up to 2022 media day with dreadlocks and then sporting an “Emo Jimmy” look for 2023 media day.

Jimmy Butler signed a 3-year, $146 million contract extension with the Heat in 2023 with a $52.4 million player option in 2026.

Miami Heat legend Tim Hardaway Sr. has shared his insights on the relationship between Jimmy Butler and Pat Riley.

With Jimmy Butler about to enter his final season under contract with the Miami Heat, the tea leaves may be trending towards an inevitable split. Retired Heat great Tim Hardaway appeared this week on an episode of the “ALL THE SMOKE” podcast.
