Jimmy Butler doesn’t have a ‘type,’ as evidenced by his varied taste in women. Apparently, he even had the hots for Hannah Montana as a collegiate athlete! Because Butler used to listen to Miley Cyrus in the locker room when he played college basketball, his teammates picked up on his crush. “He had a thing for Miley Cyrus, a big-time thing,” Maurice Acker said, according to Essentially Sports.

The team also teased him for watching Disney Channel in his free time. Undeterred, Butler bought (and rocked) a Hannah Montana backpack around campus to really stick it to his haters. In 2013, Fanbuzz reported that the power forward attended Cyrus’ B96 Summer Bash in 2013. However, it’s unclear whether they met in person or if Butler simply admired Cyrus from afar. To date, he still looks to the “Party in the USA” singer for inspiration. “Honestly, I’m amazed that whatever [Butler] plays before the game, it gets him going. Sometimes it’s Miley Cyrus, sometimes it’s Justin Bieber, sometimes it’s Rick Ross,” his Miami Heat teammate Max Strus told ESPN. We bet Cyrus would be flattered.
