Butler saddles up as a cowboy in the surprise appearance.

Jimmy Butler has once again debuted his emo look, this time for a cameo in a Fall Out Boy video. Butler, complete with his emo hair, stars as a bedazzled cowboy in the video for the newly released "So Much (For) Stardust". Butler dances, lip-syncs, and eventually summons Pete Wentz from a bedazzled Magic 8 ball. It's a truly bizarre, but not welcome, return of Butler's alter ego.

Butler first debuted his emo look at a preseason media day for the Heat last October. After he simply declared that "I'm emo", Butler proceeded to give a very standard press conference appearance about his expectations for the season as the Heat tried to run it back after reaching the Finals in 2023. The look was then parodied by Shaq during the Halloween episode of Inside The NBA's Halloween episode at the end of the month.

Jimmy Butler Earns Suspension For Role In Pels Fight

Meanwhile, Butler, Naji Marshall, and Nikola Jovic will be suspended for a game while Jose Alvarado and Thomas Bryant will miss three games for their respective roles in the brawl that broke out at Heat-Pelicans on Friday night. Alvarado and Bryant's punishments were deemed more severe due to the pair reigniting tensions between the teams after the original scuffle had died down. Despite this, fans will note that Draymond Green still received a larger suspension for placing Rudy Gobert in a chokehold earlier in the season. Green missed five games for that incident. Fans will likely soon voice their distaste for the league's double standard as news of the suspensions begins to spread.

However, Butler argued that he didn't think his actions warranted a suspension. Furthermore, he accused Williamson of flopping, causing the whole debacle to begin with. Meanwhile, Williamson appeared to place the blame on Butler. "I wasn't tripping about K-Love because he actually protected me on my fall. All of a sudden I see Butler kind of lunging toward Naji. So I'm trying to get there like, 'Yo, relax, like what's going on?'" Williamson said.
