[From a recent Sports Illustrated interview](https://x.com/rohannadkarni/status/1712113191193292808?s=46&t=hdMYR5VNI3D4hupTVErxeg)
>”I already lost, [what] the f— you want me to do about it?” he asks. “Mope? I didn’t do my job. Oh well, sue me. But I’m gonna go home and play with my kids. I’II beat my guys in dominoes and cards. And then we’re going to go on vacation together. We’re gonna drink some wine and have some really nice food.
>”And then we’re gonna suit that s— up in October. And I’m gonna whoop all y’all ass. Again.”

hard not to believe him

Jimmy Buckets has a chip on his shoulder this year and I can’t wait to watch it
This is why he’ll never win a ring. Likes to play both sides as the guy who works harder and cares more than anyone else, yet loves to show how laid back he actually is. Really can’t have it both ways. If you actually care more than anyone else you’d have had a miserable offseason every time you don’t win it all
Stupidly locked in
Jimmy Butler is like an anime character that you can’t differentiate if they’re the protagonist or the antagonist, but you root for them regardless because damn they are interesting.
Idk Im inclined to believe him
Westbrookian response.
His cockiness is…annoying. Said they were going to win last year and *(checking notes)* they didn’t. Keep talking…
I’m here for it. In Jimmy we trust
they overachieved last season, and won’t do much this season
Trust
I got good news and bad news.
Good news : Jimmy that dawg
Bad news : Jimmy got a lot of miles
Edit: also Jimmy was exposed a little in the Finals. Don’t bite on the jump stop pump fake and make him facilitate. It’ll be interesting to see all the adjustments this season.
So tired of his schtick
Jimmy is the definition of ‘speak it into existence.’
At this point you can’t even say he’s wrong
Can lightning strike twice, ladies and gentlemen?
I love the energy
Well, almost all y’all ass.
But he got HIS ass whooped?
Jimmy continues to say shit that should make me dislike him but I keep liking him more and more.
this dude must be swimming in championships with this kind of attitude!
Jimmy is a real one
Butler is new generation Jordan. He is him
Translation: you wait til playoffs when I really play hard
We just gonna ignore that “I’ll” was spelled with three capital I’s?
Himmy!!!
I didn’t even know he had a second kid.
heats only chance of making the finals again is if celtics make ecf with them.
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a player to win a ring more than Jimmy. He deserves to be remembered among the greats
Corny? Maybe! Does he walk the walk? Yep!
I can’t see how they beat Boston or Milwaukee or probably Philly depending on Harden … but I couldn’t see it last year either so what do I know
I love when people talk shit before the game . It’s easy to act all humble and talk shit after you win (lebron).
This is the thing. IDGAF I’m going down with Jimmy. He’s a dog. Life story is incredible and he’s nothing but cool.
How do you not love this man?
That’s the attitude you want from your team’s star as a fan of the game. Fucking love this dude.
pretty much given up on jimmy at this point. all hat no cattle.
I mean, this is the same dude who made a guarantee that they would win and made a big presentation of not touching the conference trophy because of that guarantee.
I would argue he doesn’t get to be so flippant in his dismissal of his team’s embarrassing play in the Finals.
