Time heals all wounds? Looks like that is not the case for Jimmy Butler who on Wednesday earned the ire of some Miami Fans for his antics post-game.
It’s been 10 months since their relationship turned sour that led to him getting traded to the Golden State Warriors. He returned to the Kaseya Center on March and even got tribute from the organization which he deservedly so.
He stepped foot on the arena again on Wednesday and although he did not play, his return still got a good amount of attention.
Warriors lost to their hosts and it is seen as a gaveaway game since Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Butler did not play. There’s nothing to feel bad about if they lost. However, the six-time All-Star did not appear happy and headed to the locker room right after the final buzzer.
Curry, who was not in uniform, did things differently. He dapped up Heat players.
Some Heat fans are getting tired of his gesture as he also acted back in March as if he has issue with his former teammates.

Jimmy Butler so soft and petty man when your on a team there’s investment from coaches and a brotherhood with your teammates who you went to battle with. And they have nothing to do with front office decisions https://t.co/W420rwpzAH

Based take: Jimmy Butler’s decision to not greet his former teammates and coach is undoubtedly one of the most detrimental moves of a loser mentality pic.twitter.com/2pRHCEk5uu

Bam Adebayo took shots at Jimmy Butler?
Was there really an animosity between Butler and his former teammates? Their body language suggests there is although, as pointed out by fans, it was not his teammates who refused to pay him.
Adebayo added fuel to the fire during that encounter by wearing something that many thought it is a shot towards Butler.

The cap, according to some fans, is callback to Butler’s quote about losing joy from playing.
Bam got the last laugh 😅
Can buy that hat here: https://t.co/IKxczmA5FP pic.twitter.com/LRAJRFoioR
