“This Is Comedy Gold”: Former NBA Champion and Jimmy Butler’s Antics During Blowout Playoff Win Sends NBA Twitter into a Frenzy

The NBA playoffs give the fans some of the most memorable moments of the season. Due to the intense pressure of the games and the adrenaline, players usually indulge in some form of trash-talking. Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler is one of the finest trash talkers in the league. His trash-talking prowess was in full display when the Heat took on the #1 seed Milwaukee Bucks. Not only the Bucks, but the Knicks also fell victim to Playoff Jimmy’s trash-talking antics, but in the most hilarious way imaginable.

In game 3 of the Eastern Conference playoffs, one of the Knicks players crossed the line and stepped out of bounds. What Butler and a former NBA champion did next left fans on Twitter buzzing.

Jimmy Butler gives the Knicks a taste of his trash talk

Jimmy Butler is one of the few players in the league who lives up to his trash talk. In the first-round clash against the Milwaukee Bucks, Butler apparently told Jrue Holiday “I own you!”. This altercation happened while the Heat were still trailing in the fourth quarter. The next thing you know, the Heat and Butler ended up beating the Milwaukee Bucks.

It seems Butler’s trash-talking in this playoffs series is just getting started. During Miami’s 105-86 game 3 win against the Knicks, Obi Toppin stepped out of bounds during a play.

Butler happened to be on the bench during this play and he gave the fans a moment to remember. Along with 2016 NBA champion Kevin Love, the 6-time NBA All-Star seemingly wiped the floor to highlight Toppin’s step out. This left the bench in splits.

Despite joining the Heat only a few months ago, Kevin Love has already gelled well with the team and built a connection with the fans. The veteran has been getting limited minutes, but he is making sure to give it all on the court.
