Kelly Oubre Jr Takes 50 Cent’s Help to Clap Back at Jimmy Butler’s Viral Instagram Warning

The intensity of the NBA playoffs has been looming highlighted over the community. Jimmy Butler, the heart and soul of the Miami Heat brought along one such instance as he took to Instagram to comment, “We throwing hands,” and tagged Kelly Oubre Jr. under his injury report. This arrived after the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Heats in the Play-in eliminator where Butler suffered a right MCL strain. During a fast break transition, the forward produced a pump fake to dismiss Oubre, instead the instance ended with the latter falling over Butler.

Now as the Heats’ star forward sits sidelined for the final clash against the Bulls ahead of the playoffs, with the situation prompting the comment, Kelly Oubre Jr, with a little help from 50 Cent seems to have a rather unconventional approach to a reply for Jimmy Butler.

Oubre took to his Instagram stories to reply to Heats’ forward, hours ahead of Heat vs Bulls. He posted a story featuring an old video of 50 Cent –which the rapper had put out during his spat with Floyd Mayweather– which said “I just woke up i look at the computer. The computer say Floyd said F**k TI, F**k Nelly, F**k 50. I am like what he say f**k me for? 

While the feud between 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather was rather more intense, the 76ers forward’s use of the instance has been seemingly contrary. As the Heats’ forward sits out the coming excitement, a humorous approach might not all be bad to set a lightened yet enthusiastic tone.

Jimmy Butler to miss out on the on court intensity

As the NBA playoffs draw near, the spotlight on players intensifies, magnifying every status. The Heat are already battling an injury crisis, with Duncan Robinson (back), Terry Rozier (neck), and Josh Richardson (out for the season) unavailable. Now, having their prominent player, Jimmy Butler sidelined for multiple weeks, is a massive blow to their Championship aspirations. However, Tyler Herro, Caleb Martin, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. might be the starters to look forward to.

As for the Bulls, the team has a healthy roster with only Alex Caruso and Ayo Dosunmu listed questionable as per early reports. In absence of the former, Javonte Green will look to carry on the role while Coby White might prove to be another reliable presence. The two teams 2-2 record this season with the Heats emerging 118-116 victorious in the last matchup in December. The two teams, thus, hold intreguing chances of securing a win and advancing into the playoffs as 8th seed. 

The 76ers on the other hand qualified for the 1st round of the playoffs and will now face the New York Knicks. Whether this social media spat transfers to on-court remains to be seen; though not against each other.
