On Tuesday, NBA star Jimmy Butler sent the sports world scrambling to look for their black eyeliners and Taking Back Sunday mp3s (remember when mp3s were a thing?) after he went into NBA Media Day sporting an emo look.
The Miami Heat wingman has trolled NBA Media Day in the past, so it wasn't a surprise that he went all Jimmy Eat World on us.
So, of course, being the unapologetic copycats that we are, we wondered what if PBA players also went emo. Because if you didn't go through an emo phase, it's either one of two things: You're lying or you're not telling the truth.
Jayson Castro
The Blur is probably the last player in the PBA who would get an emo haircut. Hence, we wanted to see what the TNT Katropa star would look like. Parang OK naman?
Tyler Tio
Among all these guys, Tio is perhaps the one who really grew up when emo music took over the world. But he's a clean-cut type. Let's imagine him looking a little, um, unclean.
Beau Belga
We can imagine Big Beau blasting Chicosci songs to pump him up before hitting a player. But whenever he gets hungry after a game, it's always Panic! at the rice cooker. Sorry.
Raymond Almazan
The guy nicknamed Rock and Roll should instantly be given the emo treatment. With the amount of tattoos he has, he might want to rock to "A Taste of Ink" by The Used.
Justin Brownlee
We like JB so much, he's the only import who got the emo makeover. Whenever his team is at an All Time Low or experiencing Mayday Parade, just scream Brownlee's name.
Paul Lee
When was the last time you saw Lee with hair? Whenever the Magnolia Hotshots star hits a clutch shot, it's so long and goodnight, so long and goodnight for opposing teams.
June Mar Fajardo
Fall Out Bai. Death Cab for Kraken. Here's a dirty little secret: JMF can make damn sure he's hands down misery business in the middle. How many emo hits did you count?
Let's cute without the "e" this article at this point. Nagpapa-cool na lang kami. Not very emo.
