Jimmy Butler left the court immediately after the buzzer in Miami and didn’t speak with any Heat players. Curry stayed behind to talk with former Team USA teammate Bam Adebayo and Draymond Green stayed behind to talk to former teammate Andrew Wiggins.

  4. Not unexpected but you would hope he’d go talk with the teammates he spent the last five years with who were not responsible for his problems with the Team.

  7. i remember two years ago when everyone was glazing jimmy and i would get so much hate for calling out that he is genuinely a giant prick of a person to be around

  9. What a stand up guy!

    I lost any and all respect for Butler after watching him last season. He was genuinely tanking worse than any player since Vince Carter, actively trying to lose games. It was disrespectful to the game

  10. I wouldn’t have an issue with this if he hadn’t said this

    *“It felt good to get out there and compete and actually run around with these guys,”* Butler said. He further added, *“As much as everybody may think, I don’t got a problem with these guys. These guys are cool. They’re my friends. … My beef is not with them and never will be. Never has been. But it did feel good to get out there and play some basketball.”*

  13. Its sad that Jimmy is gonna retire and not have a fan base that loves him that he can go back to. He would have been beloved forever in Miami if he didn’t go out like he did.

  16. I really dislike Jimmy Butler. Ever since that weird video with one of “his” employees I just see him as scummy.

  18. Bro is too old to be acting like that, smh. Those were the teammates he had the most success with

  19. Ive decided I dont want or need my miami jimmy butler jersey or my miami tua jersey. Their personalities are unforgivingly too awful for me to represent.

  21. If the first person you meet in the morning is an asshole, they’re an asshole.

    If every single person you meet that day is an asshole, you’re an asshole.

  24. I always see comments where people claim Tim Duncan was “lucky” to be involved in a stable organization, but I think those comments miss the point that Duncan mostly created that stability by having the low key personality that he had. He came into the league needing to mesh with a hardass former military coach, and he did that. He needed to bond with a somewhat conservative and serious Christian in David Robinson, and he did that. There were more mercurial teammates like Avery Johnson, Stephen Jackson, Malik Rose, young foreigners in Parker and Ginobili, then vets like Horry and Brent Barry, and then a young guy who barely spoke or made eye contact in Kawhi. The entire time, we never heard of a single beef or unprofessional issue between Tim and any teammate. I think players like Butler, Garnett, etc. would have had a really hard time dealing with all of those personalities as easily as Duncan did, and that’s one of the reasons he has 5 rings.

  27. I hope Butler leaves the Warriors on bad terms before he retires. I want to see him and Draymond interact after a game lol

  29. I understand being mad at the FO, but you went to battle with some of these guys….36 yrs old and still acting like a diva.

  30. I get being upset at the front office for professional disagreements but to shun the teammeates who went to battle with you for 5 years is just bitch behavior.

  31. It always ends poorly between him and the teams he plays for. By next season, he’ll be screaming at Draymond during practices

  39. Why is he such a diva? This happened on the bulls, the 76ers, the wolves and then the heat. Makes no sense…

  41. Used to work at this ice cream place in New York, one summer Jimmy came in, not only was Jimmy a complete dick, he genuinely seemed dumb

  42. Butler is the pettiest person ever when he doesn’t get his way lol, happens everywhere he goes
