Steph Curry loses over Jimmy Butler’s new haircut
Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has spent the past week off the court recovering from an illness, but hasn’t lost his sense of humor. A viral clip posted to Curry’s Instagram on Monday drew plenty of laughs in NBA circles, showing Curry absolutely losing it after his first look teammate Jimmy Butler’s latest haircut.
In the video, Butler sits calmly in a stylist’s chair while his hair is braided into long, flowing extensions. Kari walks into the room, stops and immediately bursts into uncontrollable laughter. He doubles over, points at Butler, and can barely catch his breath between laughs.
Butler, of course, relies entirely on the moment, striking poses while maintaining a hilariously serious expression.
For the Warriors, the moment offers a reminder of how quickly Curry and Butler have developed chemistry, both on and off the court. Butler, acquired from the Miami Heat midway through last season, he became the perfect complement to Curry’s offensive firepower, giving Golden State a reliable two-way presence on the wing.
The two helped push the Warriors into the playoffs before Curry’s injury derailed their momentum in last year’s postseason.
Now, with Curry is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the energy of the locker room comes through be in good shape.
Curry has missed the last three games due to illness, and Golden State’s offense clearly missed his scoring and playmaking. His return gives the Warriors the spark they need as they prepare for a challenging stretch of the schedule.
As for Butler, this isn’t the first time his hair has made headlines. From horror to twists to the infamous “emo bangs” debut at media day, Butler has relied on his personality and humor more than ever in recent years. This latest look, and Curry’s reaction to it, only reinforces one thing: the vibes in Golden State are as strong as they’ve ever been.
And if the Warriors get healthy? The rest of the West may want to take note.
