Artist Kyle Holbrook's viral mural depicting Jimmy Butler in Wynwood has sparked conversation about the Heat star's future with the team. The mural features elements that reflect Butler's recent trade requests and social media presence. Holbrook, a lifelong Heat fan, says the artwork aims to capture the community's sentiments and welcomes diverse opinions on the piece.
Early Tuesday afternoon, Kyle Holbrook saw a large family taking photos of a Jimmy Butler mural in Wynwood.
Holbrook, who is originally from Pittsburgh, said he’s been a Heat fan since the team began playing in 1988. He created the mural in 2020 with funding from Miami-based philanthropist Lewis Wolfson III. Now, the Butler mural includes a headband reading “I Quit,” a coffee cup overflowing with dollar bills labeled “Trade Me,” and a warning symbol on his Heat jersey. It also features Butler’s infamous “emo hairstyle” and his recent braids look.
Butler’s Heat future remains uncertain. Five Reasons Sports reported Butler, who is suspended through Jan. 15, may play for the Heat again. The 35-year-old posted pictures to his Instagram story Monday depicting him working out at Miami’s training facility. Although Holbrook expressed his disappointment with Butler, he hasn’t given up on the All-Star forward.
