Giannis Antetokounmpo makes a nod to Jimmy Butler with iconic new look in Miami
The NBA superstar is settling in very nicely in South Florida, and he wants everyone to know about it.
Some true stars switched NBA teams this past offseason. LeBron James and Jaylen Brown both joined the Philadelphia 76ers . LaMelo Ball went to the Minnesota Timberwolves . Kawhi Leonard returned to the Toronto Raptors .
But the biggest move may well have been Giannis Antetokounmpo leaving the Milwaukee Bucks after 13 seasons. Welcoming him with open arms were the Miami Heat , who are hoping Giannis is the " whale " the franchise hasn't been able to land since they got Jimmy Butler back in 2019.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is embracing the Miami lifestyle: Bright colors and cafecito
Many have wondered if it will take Antetokounmpo some time to get acclimated to South Florida after so much time up north. So far, so good on that front . In case anyone was wondering about that, Giannis published a photo on social media that's as Miami as it gets: sporting Miami Vice colors and sipping an espresso (probably a Cuban cafecito) .
The coffee stood out in particular. Many might remember that Butler started up his own coffee business while he was with the Heat . Called " BigFace ", it all began during the Heat's run to the NBA Championship during the 2020 COVID "bubble" season . Butler's love of coffee led to him making cups of it for players in the bubble, and charging them, of course.
Butler then launched the coffee and lifestyle brand officially the year after. Perhaps Giannis is thinking of doing something similar. Or he's just enjoying the cafecitos he missed out on before he was in Miami.
