Who’s here after 3-0 vs celtics 😅😅
Letting go of Jimmy was the biggest mistake of the process in Philly
what hat does Jimmy have on?
Jimmy "Buckets" Butler!!!! This man gonna get his ring in these finals..
Doc Rivers
Hiring Doc Rivers, not trading Ben Simmons, signing Tobias to that ridiculous contract, drafting Markel Fultz. Not doing whatever it took to keep Jimmy Butler was the worst mistake the Sixers made.
It’s funny how Jimmy says he isn’t worried about what was going to happen three years from then but now three years from the upload of this video he is one win away from the finals again
J.J. Is such a woke 💩 bag.
Wow this is gold, you can see it coming three years ago, and when i say it i mean they going to the finals, they gonna sweep Boston.
Watching this as Butler is one win away from the finals again and Philly has completely crumbled
who is here as a sixers fan watching what he just did to the celtics :.(…..
Telling that Butler and JJ both dipped
Philly was more worried about keeping celebrities happy than building a club
And this is exactly why philly won’t win any rings. Embid and harden both want to be the leader and it will not work. Wish we had Jimmy
You can tell how soft the NBA is when Jimmy is traded multiple times over feelings.
I’m sad jimmy left. He would fit better with the current roster but he’s in a much better fit for himself now and almost in the finals. Would love to see him and Joel together and even that whole group longer but as usual seems like inept coaching and management
Just sit down and do an interview in a coner , jj, you don't have a better spot in the Playa pad then a coner?
Do this day ,I’m still sad we lost Jimmy to a process,tanking coach…What a waste of talent.
Congrats to you Jimmy, on going to Miami….can’t wait for your trophy..
Thats y he Is winning a chip this year
Jimmy well deserved
This is why the sixers ain't shit and are a cursed team. Trade the general maneger. Let's goooo Butler
Funny how all the Ben haters blame him for Jimmy leaving and there is no mention of anything of the sort. Only empathy for Ben
My takeaway is that Jimmy seems very invested in his teams success. A lot of dudes I'm sure are just out there to get paid, but Jimmy seems to think and care a lot more about the day to day operations of the team and ultimately winning.
I’m glad players have their podcast and actually report what happened vs what the media likes to portray whether it’s rumors or straight out lies
It still seems like the sixers are doing nothing. Tobias deal messed them up big time.
What a bunch of shit. We all know that you have the biggest ego in the league jimmy. This isnt a secret. You need a team that is willing to let ylu be the center of attention. Thats why you work so well in mjami and not philly
That's me 100%. Someone has to be the asshole can't be scared when we competing for something or getting better. I have to speak my mind.
Imagine Butler on the Warriors. Get rid of Klay Poole crazy scary
I love jimmy but how u gone be mad at jj for being honest
We miss him so much, would love to have Jimmy Buckets and JoJo leading us next season to the title. What could have been
Predicted the future
This sure aged like fine wine
This is so good 😂😂😂 even as a sixers fan
Great interview appreciate JB. Couldn’t believe 76’ers let him go.
What a screwed up org. that must be. And now they’re about to pay Hardon to stay! 😳
You can tell by JJ's body language that he's holding a lot back
Great interview
"The entire year Ben had the ball" thank you, Jimmy. You're unselfishness will someday win a championship. He knows what the fuck he's doing. The heat are a VASTLY VASTLY different team in the playoffs compared to the Sixers for this sole reason, I truly believe. I could be wrong, but his unselfishness/THE TEAM's unselfishness will give this dude a championship. Fuck you Sixers for always fucking up, I really wish it wasn't that way, but that's the way she goes, bubs. Sixers fan, but talk about a half ass team mentality.
I think my favourite thing about Jimmy is his “normalness”. I can’t think of another player of his caliber that is like him. When you watch interviews like this, he really seems like just a dude. You’d never be able to tell he’s an NBA super star.
Translation: The PROCESS was DYSFUNCTIONAL. 🤡🤪 Brett Brown was accommodating Brick Simmons and Tobias Harris
Now he is in the finals in 23 vs Denver
So happy for Jimmy B. Even though my bulls couldn't do anything with him, he represents that old school mentality that a lot of these entitled aau stars come into the league with know NOTHING about. You still you to earn your keep!
I'm 1000% with Jimmy about that 'control' thing. I can definitely relate.
Great interview JJ!!
THAT. IS. WHY. HE. IS. A. WINNER!!! – a former timberpups fan
