Jimmy Butler on His Falling-Out With Philly and Being a "Villain" in the NBA | The JJ Redick Podcast

JJ Redick and Tommy Alter sit down with Miami Heat All-Star guard Jimmy Butler to discuss Butler’s move to Miami, why he signed with the Heat, his falling-out with the Philadelphia 76ers, why he knew he wouldn’t be coming back to Philly this year, and much more!

2 things I've learned from this segment: Jimmy Butler is a cool dude that was misrepresented by the media and JJ Redick will be a great NBA coach one day

[@dtotheK]

charlie kim agreed 100%

[@JustWrightHD]

No disrespect but it shouldn't have taken this video to know that about Jimmy

[@bootx9844]

@bullsi20 exactly the fact he pushed his teammates speaks for his character in so many positive ways and the complete opposite for those team mates if Jimmy don't fwu you not working hard enough

[@KASP112]

As a bulls fan I love Jimmy g Derrick rose and jokim and of course Deng so I'm a bit bisis on how butler and the rest of them act but then again they all played under thibs

[@kylestelter7550]

Facts

[@dominicdo2719]

He mentions that he doesn't like being controlled but likes that military style of hard training. There is a difference between instilling discipline, and values vs straight telling how a grown man should act. Love me some Jimmy Buckets

[@andreidinu7316]

He enjoys working hard and discipline. People wrongly believe that military style is about someone shouting and controlling, when it's about preparing people and making sure they're at their best to perform when time comes.

[@iHasCaek]

people get this idea that being in the military is bootcamp all day everyday until you retire, when its actually just a couple of months

[@severusfloki5778]

[@Head_Turnah]

Kwame Brown G is for ‘’Gets.’’

[@warwick802]

I come here every now and then, even 3 years later and have come to the same realization every time that Jimmy is as real at it gets. Everything he has said in this video holds true today: i.e: his relationship with Bam, coach Spo, Herro, telling Duncan to shoot his shots, even cultural stuff. Here we are 3 years later at another Jimmy Butler playoff special, about to make the 2nd finals appearance in 4 years, can't say anything except that no one embodies the underdog better than Jimmy Butler and no one shows greatness like he does.

[@JNovoa-cu4pv]

I never saw Jimmy Butler as a villain, he brought a feeling of edge, grit, and competition back to the NBA in an era where that attitude was dying out. He’s a hero of the league.

@Aaron who doesn't throw money at hoes. When he's 60 years old and run for office, no one needs to ever bring it up again 😏

[@LaughingManJk]

Derrick Rose in his book "I'll show you" agreed with everything Jimmy Butler said about Towns and Wiggins in Minnesota. It also puts rumors to rest that he and Jimmy had beef because they never did. Jimmy and Noah got into one major argument but Noah spent his entire career yelling and snapping at his teammates and staff. JJ Reddick before the season started said Jimmy was one of the best teammates her ever had. That I know of, Pau Gasol, D. Wade, Taj Gibson, Joel Embid, Jeff Teague, TJ McConnell, JJ Reddick, D. Rose, and more have all publicly testified to how great a guy Butler is as a teammate. At some point you have to wonder if the media makes up lies about him just to paint him a certain way. The entire Bulls behind scenes crew was taken care of by Butler. Millions on them.

[@BC_E91]

James Cross when did Pau play with Butler?

[@LaughingManJk]

@@BC_E91 2014 and 2015. They would of beat Lebronn that year had not Pau got hurt in game 2. Remember? They even had a name for the alley oop Pau kept throwing Jimmy so much. PBnJ.

[@BC_E91]

James Cross wow Idk how I forgot that smh, and I’m a Laker fan. He’s been on so many teams at this point that I forgot he was on the Bulls. He was killing it there too

[@BC_E91]

Bill Blass Butler pretty much said that they were soft and didn’t have that work ethic. Butler also felt like KAT didn’t deserve that fat contract

[@LaughingManJk]

@Bill Blass not "they" but D Rose and Butler. D Rose said in his book that Wiggins and Towns shouldn't have gotten so much money when they hadn't accomplished anything yet. Said that KAT was gifted and a generational talent but that he almost never saw him in the gym and felt the same as Butler that he didn't really care about winning as much as others did. He kind of criticized himself too because he said that KAT is too quiet just like himself but also said that is why the T Wolves have no leader on the team . He said back in Chicago Noah assumed the role of leadership because of his quietness but there was no leader on the T Wolves and so no one to hold them accountable as a teammate. He didn't really mention Wiggins as much other than to say he and Kat shouldn't have gotten such big contracts. He did also criticize Butler on the whole practice scandal when he beat the starting 5 using 3rd stringers. He said he was right but wrong to do it the way he did.

[@carterholm9037]

Man, Jimmy and JJ need to do another podcast episode together. Their chemistry is just incredible.

Back here for the run his making lol

[@LaShoju]

Jimmy Butler is smarter and cares more than his GMs, coaches, and teammates at his previous teams. They cared more about their ego, being comfortable, and being in control than capitalising on and matching Jimmy’s qualities. The teams he’s left are mediocre because they’ve got mediocre cultures and attitudes, and he was pushed out because they couldn’t handle him demanding more from them. 76s are no exception. For the talent they have, and have had, their team performance is mediocre. He’s finally in a group of GM, coaches, and players who are as smart as him and care as much as he does. The standings prove all this. Ball don’t lie.

[@sirf4ce]

Oran, I am with you on everything you said... BUT You did NOT mention the word "soft" when you spoke about the 76ers. Those dudes is all jello, no mold! When they asked him about multiple alphas on one team, his next question was, "How do you define alpha? Good players?" Why? Because he doesn't see Ben and Joel as alphas. They're just talented. Talent can only get you so far.(See Nash/Stoudemire Suns) Hard work AND talent can only get you so far.(2008 Lakers) You HAVE to have DOGS!!! *If you got puppies, which is an "s" and another "s" away from "pussies", you gonna get fucked like pussies.* AND the 76ers got half-dead leadership with Elton Brand and Brett Brown.

This aged very well. I’m all on board with Butler. I had no idea how thoughtful this guy was. It’s very easy to see a guy with all the physical gifts to buy into the negative stuff about his personality. It’s sometimes annoying to see people so well rounded but jimmy’s legit. So authentic. Great interview by JJ.

[@jak2me]

I probably started following jimmy about two years ago, he’s one of the funniest, most entertaining, and the realest grown man out there. One of my fav athletes just cause he’s him and so funny

I wish we had one of those 1 year later type interviews after the success Jimmy and the Heat had before the stoppage and the bubble and making it to the finals. Would've been pretty great
