Butler is a fashionable individual. He was named "Mr. Always Fresh" in Sports Illustrated's Fashionable 50 five years ago. He also strutted his fashion sense in Philadelphia when wore a ninja headband while representing the 76ers.
The most recent but certainly not the last accessory to be banned by the NBA were βninja-style headbands.β
These were all the rage in the 2018-19 season, everyone from Jimmy Butler to Jrue Holiday got in on the trend. https://t.co/h6VC0VPns6
Jimmy Butler's Miami Heat hoping to kick on after last season's disappointment
The Miami Heat have been wildly successful with Jimmy Butler on their roster. The Heat looked like the team to beat last season as they nabbed the top seed in the East.
Miami's momentum came to a grinding halt in the Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics. Although Butler looked solid in the first two games of the series, he faded away as it progressed, especially in the away games.
Overall, the Miami star had a solid playoff run, averaging 27.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game.

he had arguably the best individual playoff run this year and he was so close to another finals appearance. all he needed was a little more help. https://t.co/r6jfve6Tzr
The Heat made a few changes in the offseason, but their core has stayed intact and they remain a competent team under Butler's leadership. With a motivated crew surrounding him, Miami will look to make another run for the title next season.
