Jimmy Butler Criticizes Nets Rookie with ‘White Boy’ Remark
In a recent NBA matchup, Jimmy Butler made headlines for his trash-talking during a game between the Golden State Warriors and the Brooklyn Nets. The game took place in New York City, where Butler targeted rookie Danny Wolf with a series of remarks.
Butler’s Remarks Spark Controversy
During the third quarter of the Warriors’ 120-107 victory, Butler shouted “white boy” at Wolf after drawing a foul. This exchange was captured by microphones, leading to social media discussions regarding Butler’s comments.
- Butler’s comments: “WHITE BOY! WHITE BOY! EVERY TIME! SHUT UP! SHUT THE F*CK UP!”
- Notable statistics: Butler scored 21 points in 31 minutes during the game.
After Butler’s outburst, there was an off-camera response aimed at the veteran. Butler’s retort included another emphatic “Shut up,” though it remains unclear whether this was directed at Wolf or someone else in attendance.
Additional On-Court Drama
The game featured other notable interactions beyond Butler’s remarks. Draymond Green also got in on the action, engaging with Nets superfan Mr. Whammy while at the free-throw line.
- Green’s comment to Mr. Whammy: “Sit ya old ass down.”
- Draymond later described the interaction as “fun” and emphasized the need for concentration during free throws.
The victory brought Golden State’s season record above .500. They will take a break before their next game against the Charlotte Hornets on New Year’s Eve.
