VIDEO: Jimmy Butler Tells Bam Adebayo to Shoot More After Getting Interrupted in Postgame Interview
By Karl Rasmussen
Jimmy Butler has only been in Miami a few months now, but he's already getting fed up by one particular antic from his teammates. It seems, at virtually every opportunity, his teammates enjoy nothing more than to interrupt Butler's postgame interviews. Just about every time Jimmy's in front of the camera, his teammates are butting in with some hilarious commentary. Well, when Bam Adebayo tried to do the same on Tuesday evening, Butler finally snapped.
Butler is like an older brother who can't get his younger sibling to pipe down.
No matter how hard he tries, Butler can't get a decent interview in with the Miami media, through no fault of his own. So when Adebayo came to chirp at Butler, he was prepared with a witty response, telling his teammate to shoot the ball more.
The comment was both constructive but also a jab, well executed, Jimmy.
Adebayo had a big night, despite fouling out, posting 18 points and 14 rebounds across 28 points.
Still, it wasn't enough to impress Butler, who led the team with 20 points and 13 assists.
