Well, it looks like Jimmy Butler is finally done trolling the internet. At least for now, anyway. Things are a bit different when the internet trolls back.
For those of you out of the loop, Butler had been sporting faux-locs throughout the summer. He came into training camp with the same hair extensions in and was asked about it by reporters. He said he got the extensions to make the internet mad.
Here we are, a little more than a week later, and it seems he feels he’s made the internet mad enough because the locs are gone.
For the Heat’s first preseason game, the extensions were gone.

RIP to Jimmy’s faux-locs. The Fetty Wap jokes were spectacular while we had them. They were a moment in time that needs to be appreciated.
Fans were so glad they were finally gone though.
