Jimmy Butler on the Draymond Green and Steve Kerr argument and reconciliation this week
“I like that. Y’all yell at each other. Turned me on a little bit. I’m not gonna lie.”
This sounds like something Joe Mazzulla would say lmao
My brother just another me. My nba twin
Prime jerk material!
If Jimbo are on the Celtics we need a full Netflix documentary crew for that season
Fun fact: Jimmy Butler (Marquette) eliminated Joe Mazulla (West Virginia) in college for the 2011 Big East Tournament. They are only one year apart in age.
That is a fun fact
Imagine Jimmy, Dillon Brooks, and Draymond Green all coached under Joe Mazulla at the same time
Bodies everywhere
but no one seen nothing
Honestly would be fine without Dillon Brooks. Jimmy and Dray are fine under Kerr and I don’t see Mazulla changing that. They’ll probably all kill Brooks though.
Dillon Brooks
bro thinks he’s on the team
A Heat Celtics ECF matchup again with Jimmy on the Celtics would be must watch
I was literally thinking that. Was a total Mazzulla moment except for the smile and laughter. Needs a bit more dead pan.
The difference is that Jimmy laughs when he says it, Mazzulla would look you dead in the eye and be totally serious.
I can imagine his expression, lol
Mazzulla Bomb
No it would be way more detailed and have a metaphor
Imagine Mazulla coaching Jimmy Draymond anf Dillon Brooks in Miami…
“Im so quirky” core
Seriously. This sub loves to glaze him so much he gets glazed for quotes he didn’t say…
Honestly? I get it.
This isn’t romantic comedy with abusive boyfriend I’m looking for.
Jimmy is into a little choking, get on it Draymond.
Fr, I’m beating off to the clip right now
Jimmy is hilarious. Some of y’all gotta lighten up.
Fr you would think it was obvious that he was joking but dudes saying Ayo like he actually meant it lmao.
No one saying ayo to this is taking it seriously lmao.
Yeah just joking. It’s all gonna end great.
Who among us haven’t been platonically turned on by the heated shenanigans of our companions.
It’s not weird at all imo, i’ve gotten HELLA bricked from people arguing to the point of leaking
Leak brother
I can’t 😭😭😭
Leaky Black
*Jaylen Brown
What a horrible day to know how to read
On Xmas FFS
In front on my crab rangoon
You degenerate fucks
Chill no one is getting beat but the meat
Don’t yell at him, you’ll brick him up even more.
Real
leaking? bro if i was on the squad on the bench i would’ve just whipped out in real time and stroked my shit like danny from wolf of wall street 🍆 💦
Merry Christmas bruh
I have no idea why I’m still reading the comments at this point.
Everyday we stray from God’s light.
Yeah this is my fault for scrolling further
Like a white tear running down your legs?
This is as crazy as Odom story about Garnett.

Bro u did NOT have to admit this on a public forum lmao wtf
aiyaaaaaa
My brother in christ
Feel free to never say that again man wtf
you couldnt wait till the new year to say ts
Jimmy finally got his first Christmas family argument in decades
Jeez dude, the man’s got a… wait a minute
If I had a girlfriend it would turn me on if she yelled at me too
Find yourself a Latina we gotchu lmao
I dated a Puerto Rican girl in high school, got three shoes thrown at me. Good times
Better than as an adult and having to hide kitchen knives when she comes over. 10⁄10 would recommend at least once though.
Same and her mom a few years later
she threw her mom at you?
Nope the mom threw herself at me
Game is game
Game the same, moms just got mo fierce
Mom knows ball
That’s how overstimulation happens
Shit. My wife is yelling at me right now
Help me !
Nothing feels more like king shit than being yelled at in Spanish by a beautiful angry Latina
It is the holiday season you can rent one like Paul Pierce did for a day.
Don’t forget Butler is the same guy who had the infamous sideline spat with freaking Spoelstra and Haslem while with the Heat…
Everyone was looking at him like he was nuts, which he undoubtedly is.
ayo ??????
It’s not that deep y’all.
He is using humor to say that he enjoys that there is a passion for winning.
Contrasting with other situations he has been in where his team is losing and no one is yelling at each other about it.
You mean to tell me he wasn’t actually sexually aroused?
I can neither prove nor disprove.
Source: I am his pants.
what dou think he meant when he said he gained his joy back when he joined the warriors
How am I supposed to jerk off now?
R/nbacirclejerk is gonna have a field day with this one
We already are man. I thought it was AI till I saw it here too.
Literally and figuratively 12⁄25
Sources saying that after the game Jimmy texted Spo “miss us”
WHAT DID HE SAYYYYY
Got his joy turn on back
[deleted]
Pretty tame if you ask me
I beg your finest pardon???
Bro thinks he’s KG
I personally think it’d be the best if basketball players we’re never PR trained
I’m surprised there hasn’t been a Draymond/jimmy Butler blowup yet
If it comes, it probably won’t be from Jimmy tbh. He’s getting paid big bucks, he gets to be a facilitator, and the motion offense gives him leeway to be passive, regular season Jimmy(and it would work better if only the rest of the team didn’t brick so often). No other team in the league would pay him this much.
But Draymond on the other hand is clearly declining, and Jimmy’s job overlaps heavily(except Jimmy is much less TO prone, relies less on Steph chemistry, and can actually score). It wouldn’t surprise me if Dray eventually starts beefing with Jimmy, although I definitely hope he doesn’t.
Every other team in the league would pay a max to a top 10-12 player outside of the geriatric pat Riley Heat.
I mean Jimmy is my favorite player but he definitely isn’t a top 10-15 player currently, or when he signed the 2 year deal with GSW. He would’ve been worth that in 2020-2023 though.
Eh, there’s a case for it. Depends on how much you value rote box score stats vs. efficiency and advanced stats.
Role players aren’t hitting shots, Draymond is washed, and Curry - while still great - has fallen off. But Jimmy Butler’s advanced stats are right back where they were between 2020 and 2023 after falling off for a season and a half.
Do you think he will be back into playoff form come playoffs. Havent been able to watch any warrior games.
If so warrior will be a scary team of there role player pick it up abit.
Steph? Yeah I think he’ll be able to get into playoff form. IMO, the bigger question mark for him is health.
I had the Warriors slotted in as a dark horse contender last post-season until Jimmy broke his ass & Steph got hurt.
The Warriors are a team of very smart & talented players, and Kerr is an excellent coach. Jimmy’s basketball IQ alone is pretty damn high, which makes up for a lot of what Steph lost - ASSUMING that role players can execute.
Even with Steph, Jimmy, and Draymond being old, it’s hard to rule them out. It’s also worth keeping in mind that Kerr - like Rick Carlisle - tends to play with his rotations quite a bit prior to the ASB. This leads to some preventable early-season losses, but gives Kerr and his team A TON of viable strategies that they can whip out ‘randomly’ in the playoffs. It makes Golden State hard to deal with in a 7 game series.
Unless the Warriors totally fail to get their role players up to snuff this season, they’re still in dark horse territory as far as I’m concerned: there may not be a high chance that they’ll actually contend, but it wouldn’t shock me if they did.
Sorry is Jimmy looking to return to playoff form. Imo in his playoff form is a top 5 in the league player.
I agree completely on dark horse if Jimmy is at his prime level and role players perform decently.
Jimmy is not going to be in his playoff prime with Steph on the court. Jimmy’s playoff prime was because he scored a lot and had high usage. You’re not having that if Steph is hitting because that’s a way better option. He’s still going to turn it up defensively and playmaking wise but without the scoring it doesn’t get as flashy for majority of people.
He also needs to be healthy which has been tricky
I disagree. Jimmy needs to be scoring at his prime at least. Curry having the ball scoring is and always will be the last resort for the warrior when winning.
His gravity causing teams defence to fall apart is when warriors will succeed. Jimmy needs to score then constantly, can he do that if healthy?
Steph’s scoring wouldn’t really get in the way of jimmy’s. For one Jimmy plays all non Steph minute so there will be about 15 solid minutes where it’s straight Jimmy ball. And when they are on the floor together the Steph’s scoring threat should increase his efficiency and improve his matchups even more. Less touches but more efficient ball. Because they have inverse play styles, there should be multiple games where they can both go for 30 or 40.
His numbers or playstyle hasn’t changed all that much since his prime years. This is actually his most efficient season at the same volume of scoring. And while he might not be in the top 15 regular season he’s always easily been top 10 sometimes even top 5 in the post season barring injury.
That’s your opinion you are very wrong tho, he’s easily been the best player on the warriors since he got there. When your brain develops you’ll realize PPG isn’t everything.
??? I don’t even know where this is coming from.
Jimmy is my favorite player. I spend half my time on the Warriors subreddit defending his passivity and pass first mentality. I constantly say Draymond is redundant and that Jimmy brings so many good qualities and necessary skills. Are you actually just braindead?
He has not been the best player on the Warriors, that’s still Steph. He’s easily been number 2 tho, but you cannot be serious in saying that he’s a top 10-15 player rn. That would put him above more than half of the leagues best players, and there are definitely several number 2s that are better than Jimmy.
From a SKILL and IQ standpoint Jimmy is up there but he simply is not PHYSICALLY the same as he was when he was younger. Not once did I talk about his scoring being the only thing we’re paying for.
Actually stupid lol
Wasn’t Jimmy stirring the pot a bit and complaining in the media like a month ago? He should be an angel for as much as he’s getting paid. Jimmy is making mvp level money right now and doesn’t even play at an all star level.
The meaning of making MVP-level money is a bit diluted when every player on a supermax is making MVP-level money.
Still, ~20/5/5 on ~50⁄40 shooting splits while providing good defense is pretty damn good. And even at his advanced age, Butler’s advanced stats are still crazy good. GSW’s biggest issue is that its role players have been playing like ass.
Either Jimmy & Steph will feed GSW’s role players until they build confidence or GSW will be a 1st round exit. There is a scenario in which Jimmy does more scoring to rack up more regular season wins, but there is no scenario in which GSW has playoff success without its role players finding confidence. And that won’t happen unless efforts are made by Jimmy & Steph to involve them.
Jimmy wasn’t stirring the pot. He was trying to get a fire lit up.
I think it’s easy to look back on past Jimmy debacles and make assumptions but those comments came at a really bad defensive stretch for us. Basically everybody was playing sloppy and lazy, and it was taking everything we had to barely scrape by. Winnable games were lost at the very last second constantly. Even Kerr was getting frustrated.
And since then even if we’re still a very mid team, the effort has been a lot better.
I do think Jimmy is a bit overpaid rn but this sounds like somebody who hasn’t been following the warriors. Jimmy has been fine. He would have a LOT more assists if the rest of the team could hit their 3s(the warriors are actually high on shot quality, they just suck at making them) and he’s pretty efficient and our best ball handler atm.
They probably already yelled at each other. The thing about folks who openly blow up at each other, and care is that if they yell it’s not cause they see the indifference in the other. They would be yelling about exact methodology. So the argument don’t have time to develop into anything serious (especially cause at the end of the day its Kerr who decides).
Draymond for instance yelled at KD cause KD would sometimes go off-script and just play iso ball. That aggravated Draymond cause he understood you need to system for KD’s abilities to be maximized. But it does takes patient and for some possession to not be as efficient. KD at times wanted to just do it his way.
JImmy on the other hand is a very different mentality. He is a reluctant iso player. It’s why he can have a 40 point triple double in the playoffs but regularly have single digit games in the regular season. He’s less interested in his individual stats and more on winning. He’s the kind of player that Draymond loves.
It’s the same reason you hardly see Draymond yelling at Curry or Klay (when he was there). Both of those dudes care more about winning than individual stats.
It is inevitable
yall never understood either of them
It’s coming
When it comes, so will Jimmy
Jimmy Freakler
Jimmy Butler doesn’t mind confrontation, imagine that.
I think he’s saying this to take a little heat off the whole situation. He knew this would go viral.
PAUSE???
Did he stutter?
Where all the jimmy haters at?
Haha
Jimmy and I watch the same porn
I bet he likes latinas
Jimmy the type of guy to breakup with a girl cuz they don’t argue enough
“Makes my balls hot!”
He’s looking more like Eddie Murphy by the day.
WHERE IS THE NO DIDDY??????
Joe Mazzulla would say
Fighting means you care
No kink shame here please
yeah it’s fucking Jimbo
somehow more sus than josh hart
Brick mode
He not lying
Jimmy cumbuckets
I can see it now. The Warriors win the championship, Jimmy Butler starts talking about the trophy in his pants instead of the NBA trophy. He’ll dedicate the season to arguing. Yes. Make it a movie.
It did WHAT NOW?!
Some sub dom shit
ngl this is weird but it’s also for some reason 100% something I’d expect him to say
it’s just fitting to the point it comes across as an almost normal line to throw around during a conversation lmao
Ok
but he’s right
Damn ok
“Jimmy your boss and colleague had a fight on national TV, what do you have to say?”
I always tell my wife I couldn’t imagine performing my coding job in front of millions
People really don’t understand you can get the most mad at the people you like and respect the most. Get all riled up and 15 min later you’re best buds.
Ahahah
brother what
That’s how you get your ass traded to the Celtics.
You know he got a hard on if Dray pushes him against the wall like her did Poole
Uhhhh….
Ayo what
Nobody is surprised. This guy live for drama.
Jimmy Butt-enabler
remember this is the same dude that wanted to fight spoelstra on the bench, his words mean nothing
