00:00Jimmy Butler spoke at practice yesterday before his big return. He talked to several topics,

00:06you know, them suspending him, you know, they just wanted me away from the team,

00:10no hard feelings, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Here he is as he gets ready for facing the heat

00:16for the first time. This is basketball. This is very simple. I don't, I don't have all the

00:22emotions that everybody thinks that I'm going to have. Like it is what it is. I realized that

00:28I had some great years here. I've built some incredible bonds with some individuals in the

00:32organization, in the city, hell, in the state of Florida. But I'm going there in a hoop. I'm going

00:38there to play basketball. Ain't nothing nobody say, nothing nobody do. It's going to get me out

00:42of character. Nobody got me out of character whenever I was going through what I was going

00:46through this entire season with the suspension. It's another day for me. Well, there's no doubt

00:55he knows how to play basketball. That's what he does. So, uh, but what he also does is, you know,

01:04what hasn't he done to destroy everywhere? He's been, he leaves a trail of blood wherever he's

01:09been. He's been on so many teams now. Has anyone noticed ever that people get sick of him and all

01:18of his pre Madonna bullshack and all of his whining and moaning and groaning about money and this and

01:25that and just, and how he challenges suits. I mean, he just throws suits right under the bus,

01:34Pat Riley, a living legend. And he treated him like crap. Uh, this guy is a real gem, this one.

01:42So he acts like nothing bothers him. He's full of shack. He really is. I don't deny you can play,

01:50but he's not fooling me. He's phony ass everywhere. He goes, he's a cancer.

01:57And eventually, uh, someone said it to me, best playing ball one morning, uh, two years from now,

02:03it'll be the same thing in golden state. He does the same thing everywhere he goes. It's his MO.

02:09Then he blames everybody else. And no one cares about his personal life. Like I, I don't know.

02:16And his kids and his wife, who cares? His dad died. Everybody's dad dies. Stop. I don't want

02:24to hear it. I, you know, crying and moaning about all of his problems. You don't have no problems

02:30when you've got 300 million in the bank. It, believe me that kind of money, uh, buys a lot

02:35of problems, uh, to be painless, just stick them in the refrigerator. Yeah. Yeah. Oh God. I'm just,

02:42I got so many problems that I'm driving my Lamborghini and living in my $10 million house

02:47on the water that he destroyed, by the way, that guy's suing him. Don't get me started on this guy,

02:55but I'll take the, uh, I'll take the doves tonight. I will. I think he'll have a big game.

03:02Well, uh, I can't stand him. I think he's, I think he's something else. This guy,

03:08Jimmy Lymphoma, what a, what a character this guy is. I wouldn't want him anywhere near my team.

03:14Honestly. Uh, the dubs are favorites tonight, minus five and a half. Uh, now, you know,

03:21Curry's been out the last few days. I saw, uh, Kerr say yesterday that Curry does want to come

03:26back tonight, but that's not official. He wants to be there for Jimmy. I'm not even kidding you.

03:31That's what he said. The reason why he wants to come back. He wants to be there for Jimmy, uh,

03:35tonight against his old team. I'm with you, warriors, warriors, five and a half.

03:41Uh, let's go, uh, here tonight in that.
