Jimmy Butler Won’t Play for Another Team After Heat: ‘Last Jersey That I Wear’

    At this point Butler will always be most closely associated with the Heat over the Bulls, right?

    Like, if each player can only get one team that they “belong to” historically, Butler’s is now the Heat.

  2. Gristle__McThornbody

    He’s going to be what, 38 when his contract expires?

  3. StubbornKindOfFellow

    I’m sure heat fans appreciate the loyalty.

    But we saw Hakeem as a Raptor. Iverson as a Grizzly. Shaq as a Cavalier and a Celtic. Michael fucking Jordan as a Wizard…

    Even sticking with a Heat legend, Wade was on the Bulls and the Cavs.

  4. unclechad

    this is jimmy saying HE WILL FUCKING DIE TRYING TO WIN THESE FINALS

  5. VegetableBet4509

    Last Jersey that I wear….if they pay me enough and we’re still winning or making moves to win.

  6. MostBotsAreBad

    He’ll be on the Skins team down at the Y.

  7. biglyorbigleague

    “After I retire I’m gonna be naked”

  8. Yinanization

    I guess Heat does take care of their guys, so Jimmy could another one of the Heat Mafia and have a pier by Zo’s house.

    He probably wouldn’t say this with Boston, they really did Isiah dirty.

  9. nooblevelum

    Good for Heat. They are having an amazing run but I would love for him to get some star power added to the roster to carry some of the load during the regular season

    Good for him.

    He is perfect culture fit for Miami. What Pat Riley, and Spo and guys like Wade, Udonis and Alonzo and more have done is create that culture.

    He was never a great fit for the Timberwolves. He wanted the other guys to lead as well and after that scrimmage, he lost a lot of faith in KAT and the others.

    He would have been perfect for the 76ers had he been there. Joel needs a guy who is a natural born leader and won’t take shit from anyone. Someone to tell Joel to stop bullshitting around be aggressive.

    I mean, realistically his current contract is through the ’25-’26 season and he’ll be in his late 30’s. His current contract might just be his last one.

  12. snowlarbear

    he should throw out his extra coat hangers to show he’s serious

  13. Argyrus777

    If Dwayne wade said the same thing he wouldn’t be lying because we went back to Miami so that was his last jersey

  14. Grouchy_Ambition2082

    Can you blame him? His attitude and charisma go great with the Heat culture. As a Boston and basketball fan I couldn’t get mad at him for playing the way he does. It’s seldom in today’s game where you see a killer instinct and players putting a hard effort every game. I wish Jimmy Buckets all the success to him and hope these finals go to 7 games.

  15. tidytuna

    So he will be playing shirtless when he joins his next team

  16. hisoka21

    This is low key saying like “i love you” in the Miami Heat of the moment during a wild sex

  17. var1ables

    When he gets traded its gonna be brutal.

  18. RedditAdminsGulpCum

    Got addicted to the Culture 🥲

  19. CupOfHotTeaa

    He also said he will never wear a heat jersey before

  20. selfmojo

    If he does go to another team it still will be the last jersey he wore

  21. rebelintellectual

    Jimmy Come back no need to wear another Jersey we miss you Chicago. The GMs are gone.

  22. Equivalent_Ad8314

    He promised to never wear a heat jersey once. Love the guy, just saying

  23. ZenThrashing

    When they got the Vice throwbacks, you can’t blame em at all

  24. Late-Clock-9643

    PhiLLLy fans in shambles thinking he would come back to play with Embiid. Low key getting rid of him was one of the worst moves if all time.

  25. MovieNachos

    Early thirties in Miami when you look like Jimmy Butler has to be absolute paradise.

  26. TheRealTofuey

    He has done enough at this point to have his Jersey retired. Considering he was once a journeyman, I think it will be nice for him to finish his career there and be looked back as a heat legend.

  27. irrationalrapsfan

    I hope you too find a profession that makes you feel like jimmy feels with the heat

  28. zgillet

    He should probably wash it occasionally.
