Jimmy Butler has a new look, and even the Miami Heat were surprised by it

MIAMI — Jimmy Butler had a new look for Media Day, and the NBA world immediately took notice.

The Miami Heat forward arrived for the team's first official day of work this season with piercings — eye, lip and nose — along with a new hairstyle and his fingernails painted black.

It's become a trend of sorts for Butler, who went through the Media Day gamut last year with dreadlocks in a deviation from his usual look.

''I'm very emotional right now. This is my emo state and I like this. This is me,'' Butler said.
