00:00Jimmy Butler's in the lab, dude.
00:02He is in the Latin China.
00:05He's in Shanghai in the lab.
00:08Can I in the lab?
00:12Do it.
00:13Work out.
00:13I've never seen before.
00:14Now question.
00:15Yeah, I'm gonna just throw this out there.
00:17Yeah, Jimmy's problem.
00:21Yep, or what the organization has had a problem with.
00:26Yeah, it's not his ability.
00:28Yeah, it is availability.
00:30Correct.
00:31So when you say he's in the lab, nobody's ever questioned his skill set.
00:37Yeah.
00:38Okay.
00:39All right.
00:40I just wanted to be clear with that.
00:41You want to see what he's doing?
00:42I've never seen this before.
00:45I mean.
00:50That's an ab workout.
00:52Oh, I love it.
00:53I've done that.
00:54You've done that?
00:55Oh, that's core.
00:56That's core.
00:57Dude, it's hardcore is what it is.
00:59If you take a ball and lift it like that, not slap it.
01:04All of your guts just got to tighten up.
01:06Otherwise, it just won't fall.
01:08So that's an ab workout.
01:10I mean, nobody questions the shape Jimmy's in.
01:15Wow.
01:16Nobody questions whether he's going to be ready.
01:19I'm glad you told me that.
01:21Are you sure that's not practicing getting in the lane so nobody can knock the ball away?
01:27No.
01:37He's got to drive through contact.
01:40Dude, all most athletic acts or events or whatever start with your core.
01:52What's wrong?
01:53Strengthen your core, and you have a better chance of succeeding in sports.
01:59We've gotten away from that.
02:00Remember, it used to be all about lifting weights and getting strong or whatever.
02:03Everything starts with your core.
02:06So if you notice, and when you watch a lot of these workouts, they're all centered around strengthening your core.
02:15Everything else can function if your core is strong.
02:20Especially in basketball.
02:23We've got some flamingo tennis grab balling.
02:28Oh, boy.
02:30Oh, yeah.
02:31You know what the first to that is?
02:32No.
02:33That and guess what else?
02:36Balance.
02:37Balance.
02:38The core.
02:39The core.
02:40You balance with your core.
02:41It's all the same thing, man.
02:42I'm pretty sure it's an old Bruce Lee exercise.
02:45Jimmy looks a bit yoked.
02:48Nah, he's looked bigger than that.
02:50He's looked more ripped than that.
02:52Maybe, you know.
02:54Less body fat.
02:57I would say he's got more body fat than he's had in the past.
03:03Maybe not so shredded.
03:04He keeps it a little more put in for the season.
03:09You know, like Tua.
03:10Kept Tua more durable.
03:17Can I just say?
03:19What?
03:20You are amazed by some of the dumbest of things.
03:27What do you mean, dude?
03:28I'm not amazed.
03:29People want to know, is he working?
03:32I just wanted to let people know he's working in China.
03:34Getting after him.
03:39We've never had to worry about Jimmy and his work ethic.
03:44Same thing, except the guy is probably going to tell him to twist a little more.
03:49Twist a little more.
03:51I think it's the same guy as last year, though.
03:53You think he learned some new tricks?
03:55I hope he's not putting through the same tricks as last year.
03:57See how he puts it on his hip and then turns it up to the other side?
04:00That's all core stuff.
04:01All core.
04:02Core and balance.
04:03Core and balance.
04:04Yeah, all exercises perfected in Rocky IV.
04:07Looks like chopping wood.
04:10They're in China?
04:12In the snow.
04:13That's his own personal...
04:16Yeah, that's his conditioning guy.
04:18I don't know his name.
04:20Because I was getting ready to say, that's a big dude in China.
04:24Oh, no, no.
04:25He didn't just grab the first Chinese personal trainer that he saw.
04:29Right.
04:30Be like, you, hey, what do you got?
04:32What's that brand he's wearing?
04:34That's his brand.
04:35Okay.
04:36That's his brand.
04:37I think he's basically put big face coffee on all of his clothes.
04:40Okay.
04:41Wait, isn't he and D-Wade under the same brand?
04:44Yes, they're both under Li Ning.
04:46But they get their own separate wings.
04:48Like, Wade has his own line.
04:50And I believe Jimmy does, too.
04:52But Jimmy also is now putting big face coffee on all of his clothes.
04:55Which I don't really understand.
04:57Because if I'm going to go get an espresso, am I also shopping at Lululemon?
05:01I'm not really sure.
05:03Hey, I have an In-N-Out Burger shirt.
05:07You do.
05:08You do.
05:09Yeah.
05:10You do.
05:11Sometimes it's a good look for, like, a local tavern.
05:14I got to tell you.
05:15I got to tell you.
05:18In-N-Out Burger for 20 bucks, you can get your eat on.
05:23Give Josh Hart minus one for sass.
05:26It was the cheapest meal we had.
05:29Minus one for sass.
05:33And, Josh, that was my point exactly.
05:36I like it.
05:37That was my point.
05:39First of all, it was a fluke thing that kept him out of the playoffs.
05:42Stupid move.
05:43All right.
05:44But, you know, maybe he's tweaking some things.
05:49Oh, he tweaks a lot of things.
05:51I mean, not his body.
05:52I mean, maybe he's tweaking some off-season program things.
05:54I don't know.
05:55But you do realize that even before the injury, he was taking a lot of games off.
06:06Yes.
06:08I did a deep dive on this.
06:10Did you?
06:11No, you didn't.
06:12I did, too.
06:13Dude.
06:16Look, I get it.
06:21You hope or you think things are going to be different.
06:24You hope.
06:25I'm not.
06:26We all do.
06:27But don't sit here and lie and say I did a deep dive.
06:29I did a deep dive.
06:30Give me your numbers.
06:31Well, I don't have them on top of it.
06:33But I will tell you.
06:35My deep dive.
06:36I'm telling you.
06:37My deep dive.
06:38I will find.
06:39I swear to God.
06:41I did a deep dive.
06:42Now I got to find my notes.
06:45No notes.
06:46No nothing.
06:47I swear.
06:48Can I just say this?
06:49You got it.
06:50You know how we go at it.
06:52Right.
06:53This seems like some information that you have locked and loaded.
06:56I did have it locked and loaded.
06:58I brought this up last year.
06:59I said this.
07:00And listen.
07:01This is a first half epidemic for Jimmy Butler.
07:04It's usually he misses the vast majority of his games in the first
07:07half of the season.
07:08Last year.
07:09The problem was.
07:10It was the first year where when he said it was that time.
07:14It wasn't that time.
07:16It wasn't that time.
07:17And then more injuries flared up.
07:18So, so question.
07:20And I'm going to just mention this.
07:23Because it wasn't that time.
07:26Is it okay to have questions?
07:28Questions are fair.
07:30Questions are fair.
07:31Okay.
07:32And is it okay?
07:33Not just to assume.
07:34This is going to be back this year.
07:36I think it's.
07:37No, no, no.
07:38It's fair.
07:39It's fair.
07:40Okay.
07:41Okay.
07:42It's fair.
07:43All I'm saying is this.
07:44When I raise the eyebrow.
07:46And I say.
07:48Like.
07:49Yeah.
