In the premiere of Starting 5, the newest docuseries on Netflix. LeBron James, Anthony Edwards, Domantas Sabonis, Jimmy Butler, and Jayson Tatum were all present at the gathering to promote the performance. The NBA season of 2023–2024 was followed by the five stars on the show. It depicted each player's triumphs and setbacks, both on and off the court, as well as their responses to them.

The show's concept is to provide millions of fans with a different viewpoint on their favorite athletes, allowing them to perceive them more than simply wealthy superstars. Nonetheless, it is impossible to ignore the Miami Heat star's new hairstyle from the premiere. Jimmy Butler looked great on the red carpet, sporting cornrows on top of his semi-bald appearance from the sides. The other celebrities remained silent, although fans know that Jimmy Bucket has an annual tradition of experimenting with different haircuts. 

Over the last few years, Butler has sported different styles immediately before Media Day. The new style is also used to the NBA 2k video game from that year, team jumbotrons, and YouTube thumbnails. Fans won't have to wait until 2024 Media Day to find out what the Heat player has planned going forward. In addition to the five celebrities sighted on the red carpet, DeMar DeRozan, the newest member of the Sacramento Kings, was also spotted at the premiere.

Apart from the abundance of off-season entertainment options, Netflix's "Starting 5" is another outstanding lineup in the NBA. Superstars including LeBron James, Domantas Sabonis, Jimmy Butler, Jayson Tatum, and Edwards are featured in this sports series. The group bonded during the show's red carpet debut on Monday. Even though everyone at the event was actually connected up, Ant-Man chose to overlook one player in particular—the big man of the Sacramento Kings.
