Jimmy Butler’s latest drama with the Miami Heat? Absolute chaos. And guess what? LeBron’s crew is LOVING it. Kevin Love and Maverick Carter can’t stop cracking jokes at Butler’s expense. This whole mess is turning into a full-blown spectacle.

So here’s how it all went down: Butler was supposed to join the Heat on their two-game trip. The first stop was Milwaukee. But guess what? He missed the flight. As a result, Miami responded by sending him home instead of letting him catch up with the team. Yep, home. This latest move adds another two days of suspension to his already dramatic season. It seems like things are only going downhill from here.

Getting back to the amusing elements LeBron‘s team engages in, Kevin Love, always one to have a good time, posted a reel featuring Al Pacino’s famous “Bad Guy” speech from Scarface. The clip shows Tony Montana explaining that local authorities that they need someone tough like him to point their fingers at and call the “bad guy”. Well, you see the connection here, don’t you? And of course, LeBron’s business partner, Rich Paul, chimed in with, “This is so good.” Furthermore, Maverick Carter responded  by adding laughter emojies to his update. People viewing from the outside find this whole mess funny, and Jimmy Butler is in hot water.
