Jimmy Butler IS GOING OUT SAD

[@MatthewHarrison-l2k]

When does Adam Silver start getting some of the blame for the horrendous current state of the NBA? Stop babying players and Refs.

[@francescosmith7859]

it's a good question. He (Adam) certainly soaked up the early praise when he was dealing with the Donald Sterling situation but pretty much everything since then has been bad. He has successfully added more games to the season when pretty much everyone universally declares the way to help make the NBA more interesting is reducing the schedule.

[@willnorman3753]

He (Adam Silver) should be getting 95% of the blame (5% to these soft, mentally weak players). Adam allowed this culture where she winning is a just a sometimes buy product of being a celebrity, fans aren't paying to see competitive play, they pay to watch celebrities play stat chasing basketball.

Shaq is the world's largest baby. He's like Lebron. All this money, fame and accomplishments and he still has low self-esteem. EDIT: I seemed to have struck a chord. I'll explain why I mentioned Lebron. Shaq and Lebron are very different, both as players and people. But what they share is self-esteem issues. Shaq can't admit he is wrong and is a bully. Lebron has an insatiable need for attention and adoration. An example of that is when he mimics crowning himself. Can you see Brady or MJ or Gretzky doing that? And he has only recently starting backing down on declaring himself the GOAT. Probably because of the blow-back. Mahomes is on the cusp of possibly dethroning Brady as the GOAT. Could you imagine him pushing that narrative? No way. Because he has a healthy psyche that doesn't need to be artificially propped up. Lebron is one of the greatest players ever and over-all a good person. But his need to be seen as the GOAT is really sad.

He’s gonna get what he wants. Miami is going to have a hard time turning down the 3 1st rounders Phoenix just got knowing that Butler has become a cancer. Since Washington was dumb enough to give Beal the no trade clause and Phoenix was dumb enough to trade for it he likely won’t be in the deal. But the Suns will likely find a 3rd team to take on someone like Nurkic and a few other salary fillers along with trading the rest of their tradable picks and swaps. The sad thing is this is the best move for Phoenix. That’s how poorly a team with KD and Booker has been built.

[@chaepark8720]

I’m playing the world’s tiniest 🎻🫰🏼🫰🏼🫰🏼 for Butler.

[@cmack17]

Anyone who has watched Butler over his career and thought he was a "team first" guy or some sort of honorable warrior is lacking judgment.

[@brettstarks1846]

“Can you get your joy back?” What a joke. Welcome to the real world, Jimmy, where most people hate their jobs but have to show up every day anyway. Only they have to work full-time and don’t get paid tens of millions a year.

[@mlqwlkr]

Imagine a normal working person doing what jimmy is doing they’d be on indeed searching as we speak

[@mielle_mirei]

Jimmy butler should do one thing if he is not really happy. Opt out next year and look for a team who will offer him what he wants. Let’s see how many offers he’ll get, if any.

[@Pytliczello]

I'm not surprised that Shaq is defending Jimmy. He did the same when Kobe demanded more form him on the court.

[@qpeocn]

Shaq is the sofest big man.

[@nicoli-thenextup9866]

Crazy thing is Jimmy isn’t completely wrong he literally willed them to two different finals appearances but they haven’t got him help but he’s going about it the wrong way

[@AEJones-dl9nn]

It’s only a matter of time before that race card is thrown. 😂

[@grantrmoore]

Jimmy had a good career. His legacy is somewhere in the realm of Latrell Sprewell

[@mireilledavidson9427]

Shaq defending Jimmy is more about his grudge against Pat Riley than it is about defending Jimmy. He can be petty at times.

[@KingMikey17]

Jimmy is out here shooting like Angel Reese.

[@GrandRand10]

One of the weirdest attitude changes I’ve ever seen from an athlete. After the bubble, dude went to work the next day after putting everything out there. What happened?!

[@AlexanderWomack-hq2hn]

Pat Riley is playing dirty he has a lot of pressure he’s playing under the best thing is for pat to get him out of there

[@GIO77ification]

Why would I want someone who going to hamstring me every contract and not win chips?

[@cubanmissl3818]

Basketball players get paid wayy too much nowadays when they don’t deserve it.

[@premosuave9311]

Shaq just showed that while he was a top 3 talent he's not a top 10 player

[@iamnotmental]

i don't mind Butler's stats, sure he isn't pushing all-star level like he should but at least his FG% isn't bad, he hasn't given up he's just not pushing himself. he needs to be in a different team...well he has to be because those wounds don't heal between a coach and a player.

[@tarikel-amarti6865]

Jimmy like to wear a wig in media day I know why he s sad now

[@notatechguy1209]

Bro got that Scottie Pippen energy. Good luck with that.

[@Henry_Little]

Lookin' like a damn fool, by the head... and how many rings has he helped the Heat to win?👀 ('nuff said)🙄

[@demirtitiz8945]

awsome video ✌️

[@TheV8maverick]

I don't get Shaq defending Butler. Shaq actually won championships

[@evog35viii]

Shaq has a good heart, but he's also selfish and stupid greedy.

[@chrismathgenius]

2 reasons: 1. He throws tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants. 2. He clashed with Pat Riley when the former played for the Heat.

[@sofiacristinak.-cd1nk]

The Butler saga is only one of the many reasons why the NBA viewer coverage has dropped maybe 52% in the US. Most people including many executives don't get paid US$48.7 million a year. He doesn't get his extension demands so he tanks his value? Doesn't even have a chip.

[@NakedTruth-or-WellDressedLie]

Jimmy Butler like Paul George has always been Glorified Role players. They have never been a "Star" in the sense of the word. He is a Modern Day Glenn "Big Dogg" Robinson as for stats and so forth. Solid numbers, but not a Super star

[@urbaindelva7869]

Not true at all. They were stars.

[@colewrld901]

@@NakedTruth-or-WellDressedLie yeah I guess u missed leading a team to 3 ecf and 2 finals in the last 5 years lol

[@siner2442]

These NBA are on another Level? They can be injured for the last 4yrs and still feel entitled to a New Max contract! 🤨

[@PJBlick]

4:07 wtf is that haircut? That's legit the same hair doo a little girl would have. Man, what is up with these newer players? 90's to mid-00's they had normal guy haircuts, not afro puffs. Man, they really lost me as a fan...I'm going to go back to watching 90's ball.

[@justinscarborough6428]

Pat not going into the second apron for a gentleman sweep

[@mattman237]

Riley shouldn't have said the things that ignited all this, it was completely unnecessary, but the way Butler has conducted himself since is completely unacceptable. He signed a very lucrative contract and he should honor it. He is not owed an extension.

[@theman6620]

Tanking his own value is strategic. The less value you have the team you are going to needs to give up. Puts that team in a better situation.

[@aimpointrod]

Can "Uncut Hoops" have either someone or have AI read the script for him? His whining tone is hard to handle..

[@possiblycrazy442]

After getting hyped up for those deep playoff runs, this is all a real bummer. I'm glad I didn't buy a jersey.

[@patrik32]

9:03 and Shaq still doesn't know why he wasn't welcome anywhere after his Miami stint. Where he did his Butler thing

[@VinceLyle2161]

Jimmy thinks he can bully Pat Riley. Like Riley isn't an old-school player, Top 3 coach, and excellent team president who has literally seen it all in this game.

[@zwen3763]

I love Jimmy and I don't think Riley has done much as of late but not extending Jimmy is probably the right call.

[@futuretimetraveller8677]

I tried to tell Jamie "with the good hair" not to f around with Pat Riley He's in the "find out" stage now so ...

[@pabblo101]

Paying $50 million for 17 points a game is horrible.

[@timlindquist5224]

It’s always sad to see ageing stars declining. But teams can’t keep paying a high price for guys like butler when they know their best is behind them.

[@TheRealMRGG85]

I stand with Jimmy Butler I always stand with players during contract disputes If you don't want the man on the team just trade him. It's not really for us or even the heat to decide if he deserved that extension the market sets the price and he will hit the free agent market very soon and we will see what he's worth

[@PeteringYT]

The CBA makes trading Jimmy extremely difficult. PHX is a second apron team and has the highest payroll in the league. Jimmy must be traded to get what he wants. If he hits free agency, only the Nets can offer him the max he wants, and they are in rebuild mode and stated they are not interested in him. Not a lot of teams want to pay an injury prone 36 year old locker room cancer a max extension.

[@buddhamaster322]

Nobody wants him

[@daniel8421]

I can't believe Jermaine was making sick money like that in 2010.

[@amirianozakwano]

As great Jimmy was, he’s gonna be 36 this year. Seeking for max contract extension. Ain’t no way he’s gonna contribute as much as he was 4-5 years ago. The Suns are desperate enough to pay a third option that max money but having 3 max players and have a crappy depth, would not push them to championship contenders
