"I'm one with my emotions" Jimmy Butler's hilarious media day haircut has been the gift that keeps on giving

The haircut and facial piercings worn by Jimmy Butler at the Miami Heat's media day was a major talking point back in October. In addition, since then, every time Butler is featured on an NBA graphic throughout the season, the league uses his official headshot, reminding fans of the prank.

At the time, many were questioning whether Butler had actually gotten piercings just for the photoshoot, however, that wasn't the case. As he did explain, however, he was channeling his inner "emo" reflecting his emotional state.

"Don’t make me break character. I’m emo – leave me alone. ... This is my emotional state. I’m one with my emotions. So, this is what you get."
