JIMMY Butler has entered his emo phase.

The 34-year-old NBA All-Star turned up to the league’s media day on Monday rocking an eye-catching new look.

Butler said he was in his “emotional state”

A year after Butler, 34, stole the show with his impressive braids during media day, this year the Miami Heat star went an entirely different direction.

With long straightened bangs covering half of his face, multiple piercings, painted fingernails, and bracelets, Butler would have looked right at home in the mid-2000s.

If this wasn’t enough, his all-black attire included a long baggy coat with a skull on the chest, baggy pants, and black boots.

“Laugh it up,” Butler told the media as he entered his press conference.

One member of the media suggested he was giving off Milli Vanilli vibes, to which Butler responded: “I’m emo, leave me alone.”

He went on to explain: “This is my emotional state. I’m one with my emotions, so this is what you get.”

Butler’s My Chemical Romance/Fall Out Boy essence divided fans on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“I’m just so disappointed this might make me not be a heat fan anymore ain’t no way jimmy,” said one fan.

A second suggested his look was a reflection of his emotional state following Damian Lillard’s trade to the Milwaukee Bucks: “They missed out on dame and he turned emo.”

Another added simply: “Championship incoming.”

While one said: “This man must be stopped.”

Butler’s teammates were equally taken aback by this new phase in his life.

During a photoshoot with Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo, both could be seen laughing hysterically, with Adebayo even wiping away tears.

With just eight days to go until the Heat kick off their preseason against the Charlotte Hornets on October 10, fans won’t have to wait long to find out if Butler maintains this new look on the court.
