00:00
Here was Jimmy Butler after the game on Friday.
00:03
Did he answer questions?
00:04
On Friday he did.
00:05
On Friday he did.
00:08
Why are we playing this game?
00:10
Why not?
00:11
You know what I mean.
00:12
He goes, the truth is going to come out.
00:18
I guess it's basketball at this point.
00:21
I know what I'm expected to do while I'm here.
00:24
Try to do it to the best of my ability, but
00:27
we are where we are.
00:28
How much uncertainty was there about playing tonight?
00:30
How much uncertainty was there about playing tonight?
00:32
Did you feel like you were going to play rockless this weekend?
00:34
I knew I was going to play.
00:36
Jimmy, there was a lot said the last couple of weeks.
00:37
I know it's hard to clear everything up in one second,
00:39
but what was the plan going forward when you knew you were coming back?
00:42
Was this the plan?
00:43
Did you know you were at seven games you were going to play tonight?
00:45
Yeah.
00:46
I mean, that's what they had told me.
00:50
But it was a lot said by everybody,
00:53
except for me, to tell you the truth.
00:55
So we'll let people keep talking
00:57
like they know everything, like they have all the answers.
01:00
And then sooner or later, the whole truth will come out.
01:03
But until then, we'll continue to let people talk.
01:06
And if I'm here, I will get out there and play.
01:09
You said that, how hard is it to separate fact from fiction for you?
01:12
Do you even bother doing that when you hear the different things?
01:14
I mean, is there anything particular with it?
01:16
Is it just everything that's been said?
01:18
No.
01:20
I expect for people to talk.
01:23
Half the reason is because
01:24
don't nobody ever know what I'm really doing.
01:26
So you just make up stuff, which is fine.
01:28
And honestly, I really don't pay any attention to it.
01:33
But I got people telling me, oh, they said this, they said that.
01:35
And it's like, it's really all good.
01:38
I don't have to clear anything up.
01:40
So, you know, more power to you.
01:42
Keep talking.
01:43
And we'll see where we end up.
01:46
I have a question.
01:48
Sure.
01:50
Who do you think the people he is referring to are?
01:54
They.
01:56
Or.
01:58
What, me?
02:03
People are saying.
02:05
This is my favorite part.
02:07
You saw the face.
02:08
Wait, or this.
02:10
Me.
02:14
Very secretive points.
02:16
No, no.
02:17
I know you.
02:19
You tried to get up there.
02:20
No, I didn't.
02:21
No, no, no.
02:22
I asked him this first.
02:23
Where were you?
02:24
You saw the face.
02:25
During the interview.
02:26
Because was he.
02:27
No, he wasn't.
02:28
Did you go to Friday's game?
02:29
Yeah.
02:30
Oh, okay.
02:31
Yeah.
02:32
He told me he was going to Friday's.
02:33
No, he said he didn't have no questions.
02:34
I text you.
02:35
I was behind three camera guys.
02:36
So was it.
02:37
So when he was.
02:38
Will looks like Will was asking that question.
02:39
Yeah.
02:40
Because there was like four.
02:41
There was like a camera fort above Wilman.
02:42
So I had my like thing over because I have a pole.
02:45
You know.
02:47
And he looks like.
02:49
Your presence is very noticeable in a room.
02:52
That's why you made my presence.
02:55
He did not see me.
02:56
And I have.
02:57
And by the way, it wouldn't matter if he did.
02:59
Because I didn't do anything.
03:00
So.
03:01
So.
03:02
I know.
03:03
I know.
03:04
I was listening.
03:05
And by the way.
03:06
He was giving me updates.
03:07
Because I was texting him.
03:09
Hey, what's going on?
03:10
Dude.
03:11
The energy in the intro.
03:15
Did he go Jimmy Butler?
03:17
No, no.
03:18
They did everything.
03:19
They introduced him last.
03:20
But he didn't do his thing.
03:21
Where he sits on the bench and waits for Bam.
03:23
For them to do their handshake.
03:24
He just walked out to the middle.
03:26
I'll show you this.
03:27
I'll show you the footage.
03:28
He just like.
03:29

He's like, you know.
03:31
Tyler's doing some.
03:32
Some stretching.
03:33
And then as soon as like.
03:34
Why is he doing white man?
03:35
Can't jump.
03:36
I don't know.
03:37
Why is Tyler?
03:38
I don't know.
03:39
I don't know, dude.
03:40
He is.
03:41
White flag.
03:42
He is literally doing.

Gotta get my game face on.

As they start these intros.
03:59
And then like.
04:00
Once the intro start.
04:01
Cause he's not there for his big intro.
04:02
He's like.
04:03
Just like.
04:04
Alright.
04:05
You know.
04:06
Whatever guys.
04:07
He's like.
04:08
I'm not gonna look at anybody.
04:09
I'm not gonna acknowledge anybody.
04:10
I'm just gonna be out here.
04:11
Doing my thing.
04:12
Look at all of.
04:13
Is there normally that many cameras?
04:14
No.
04:15
This was like a playoff game.
04:16
No.
04:17
There were a lot of cameras.
04:18
There were a lot of people there.
04:19
For.
04:20
For this.
04:21
But.
04:22
It was just like.
04:23
It was just weird.
04:24
He's like.
04:25
He's just like.
04:26
Look at him.
04:27
He's just like.
04:28
Standing off to the side.
04:29
Like he's normally on a chair right now.
04:30
Waiting.
04:31
He just shook hands with Tyler four times.
04:32
He goes.
04:33
Alright.
04:34
You know what?
04:35
Maybe they want to make sure.
04:36
Stars don't have beef.
04:37
So let's just make sure that.
04:38
You know.
04:39
We're all cool.
04:40
Oh.
04:41
Oh.
04:42
Frosty with the hay one.
04:43
Right?
04:44
That was.
04:45
That was Frosty.
04:46
Wait.
04:47
Nothing.
04:48
Says that I don't like you, Jfig.
04:50
As the drive by hip pack.
04:55
Why better than me?
04:56
Because I'm just saying.
04:57
I've heard of I So Joe and I So Jimmy.
05:00
You know how cool we are.
05:01
Right?
05:02
You always go back and forth.
05:04
Hi, how you doing?
05:05
If you haven't seen you in a while.
05:06
What if.
05:07
Right?
05:08
If we ever go to like a company event and I just walk by you and go.
05:12
Yo, rewind that.
05:13
No, no.
05:14
Rewind that.
05:15
You didn't see that, you didn't see that.
05:17
Rewind that again.
05:18
Go back, right back.
05:19
Five seconds, I want you to see.
05:21
You're right.
05:21
No interaction with anybody except for one person.
05:25
And even he peeped like yo,
05:27
you're really isolating yourself right now.
05:29
You're frosty right now.
05:29
Look what Tyler does.
05:32
Yep, Tyler's the one who like tries to break the ice
05:34
cause he's just like looking at this panel.
05:35
Look what Tyler does and he don't do nothing.
05:36
He doesn't, Tyler gives him a shoulder like come on.
05:40
Nothing.
05:41
You saw, did you see Bram's face?
05:43
They're trying to loosen him up.
05:45
They're trying to loosen him up.
05:46
And he's like, nah.
05:47
You know what's funny though?
05:49
Dude, this is what I, remember what I told you before?
05:53
Yeah.
05:55
Your boys are gonna always be your most forgiving.
05:58
But if you don't, if you don't approach that the right way
06:03
and make them feel like, you know, they're with them.
06:08
Right?
06:08
It ain't gonna work.
06:09
So if he would've like came in.
06:12
Look at the face of the speech though.
06:13
He's just like.
06:17
Like he's about to say.
06:19
Like, and look, well, you know what Tyler said?
06:25
Tyler bumped him, bumped him.
06:27
I'm the captain now.
06:30
This was like, it's, look, I hate seeing this.
06:35
I've had situations and football is a little different
06:39
because there's a lot of moving parts.
06:42
So you could put another guy in check
06:45
or somebody could put me in check or whatever.
06:48
And nobody would notice it
06:50
because there's so many moving parts.
06:54
But in a situation like that,
06:55
like it seems like the players
06:58
are trying to move on from this, you know,
07:02
which I would say that's the biggest hurdle
07:05
for Jimmy to get by.
07:07
It's like his boys, his players,
07:10
like, don't worry about Spoh.
07:12
Don't worry about the organization.
07:15
Don't worry.
07:15
It's the players getting over that hump.
07:17
And they all look like they were gonna try to just move on.
07:21
Trying.
07:23
Like.
07:24
Then they got yo-kitched.
07:27
He killed it.
07:28
Jesus, he's good.
07:29
So's Jamal.
07:31
They can't beat that team.
07:32
I mean, that's a great one-two punch, right?
07:35
It's all right.
07:36
It's all right.
07:37
Against the Miami Heat.
07:39
I would say the team doesn't reflect this,
07:44
but Kyrie and Luka, right?
07:47
I like watching that.
07:49
Well, against the Heat,
07:51
they haven't beaten that team in Miami
07:53
since March of 2018 before Jimmy even got here.
07:56
Right.
07:57
You know the one guy that loves playing against you
07:59
on that team is Aaron Gordon.
08:01
Yeah.
08:02
Yep.
08:03
He always got 20 dunks.
08:06
That pass, that no-look yo-kitch pass,
08:10
and he just got himself with a tomahawk.
08:13
And then, look out below.
08:17
I don't know.
08:18
That's, like, you forget.
08:20
Oh, that's the slam dunk runner-up
08:22
who should have been champion.
08:24
You know he hates the Heat
08:25
because he thinks D-Wade robbed him.
08:26
Was that the greatest dunk competition you've ever seen?
08:31
Either him or him and Levine.
08:32
Yeah.
08:33
And he won.
08:34
Yeah.
08:35
They were doing so many crazy dunks on first-time tries.
08:41
Like, it wasn't like, nope.
08:43
Like, wow.
