In recent years, Butler has become the NBA's undisputed king of media day trolling.

Last year, he had the internet buzzing with his "emo Jimmy" transformation, which came with straightened hair, a (possibly fake) piercing on his eyebrow and a mood that screamed "it's not a phase."

But it all began in 2022 with ombre faux locs that had fans questioning how much his hair could've grown during the offseason.

Now, here we are in 2024, and the big question is: what's next?

Will Jimmy Buckets show up with a mohawk? A mullet that would make 1980s rock stars jealous?

No one knows, but that's the beauty of the bit. One thing's for sure: whatever he does will live on in those roster photos used for TV broadcasts and highlight reels all season long.
