It’s a new team but the same old Jimmy Buckets! Butler dished out 25 points alongside Chef Curry’s 34 points. The entire dub nation seems to be happy with the addition and hopes this is the current season’s future. But let’s not forget the veteran forward’s behavior which led to issues and suspension from Pat Riley. Many legends disliked that behavior including Kevin Garnett. But even now he seems to side with Butler.

Stoner Sports Network added the post and highlights of the Warriors’ win over the Bulls. “He might be telling the truth cause he looked way happier with the Warriors than he did at Miami. ” KG shared the post on his story and added his two cents on Butler leaving and balling out for the Golden State.”Thought the same thing…mmmmm 🤔💯.” This indicates the press conference where the former Heat star vented about dissatisfaction with the team.

“I want to see me get my joy back from playing basketball. Wherever that may be, we’ll find out here pretty soon.” The 6x All-Star requested to be traded and the entire ordeal lasted months before the deadline day move. Some reports also suggested the 35-year-old repeatedly breaking rules, acting against the team’s best interests, and flat-out refusing to play. For this reason, Kevin Garnett previously lashed out at Butler.

“We f–king fought our a– off through five or six God damn lockouts to get to a point … where we protect the integrity of the talent. And then that talent has a responsibility to be professional, come in here and do your f–king job.” The Celtics legend was not a fan of the unprofessional behavior that Butler displayed during his suspension spells.

Let’s not forget, he was suspended three times before his trade to the Warriors. Previously, Kevin Garnett also compared this situation and highlighted three other players for setting the standards of professionalism in the league.

Kevin Garnett discredited Butler’s behavior and hyped another Warriors superstar

On the ‘KG Certified’ podcast at the beginning of the month, the former NBA champion not only called out Butler but shared concerns about the current generation’s dedication. “Man, this is probably, Bron would probably, Bron, KD, and Steph would probably be the end of this era. And this era, what I mean, if I do, if I pay you, or if you’re on the contract, be professional, come in, A, B, and C, and then we leave. We don’t have to like each other.”

Continuing, Kevin Garnett sided with the Heat President and his way of being hard-nosed during the entire ordeal. “Pat Riley wants bro to come out here, play hard, play, play, we paying you to play. Come out here and play, and then you can go home. All the extra shit, Pat wasn’t feeling that.”

After all, The Godfather even traded the likes of Shaquille O’Neal, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and others during his tenure. But the recent story from KG feels he understood that even Butler would have been right in his situation to ask for a trade. In order to get his joy back, maybe the 35-year-old was ready to face all the criticism.
