00:00Here was Jimmy Butler after the game on Friday.
00:03Did he answer questions?
00:04On Friday he did.
00:05On Friday he did.
00:08Why are we playing this game?
00:10Why not?
00:11You know what I mean.
00:12He goes, the truth is going to come out.
00:18I guess it's basketball at this point.
00:21I know what I'm expected to do while I'm here.
00:24Try to do it to the best of my ability, but
00:27we are where we are.
00:28How much uncertainty was there about playing tonight?
00:30How much uncertainty was there about playing tonight?
00:32Did you feel like you were going to play rockless this weekend?
00:34I knew I was going to play.
00:36Jimmy, there was a lot said the last couple of weeks.
00:37I know it's hard to clear everything up in one second,
00:39but what was the plan going forward when you knew you were coming back?
00:42Was this the plan?
00:43Did you know you were at seven games you were going to play tonight?
00:45Yeah.
00:46I mean, that's what they had told me.
00:50But it was a lot said by everybody,
00:53except for me, to tell you the truth.
00:55So we'll let people keep talking
00:57like they know everything, like they have all the answers.
01:00And then sooner or later, the whole truth will come out.
01:03But until then, we'll continue to let people talk.
01:06And if I'm here, I will get out there and play.
01:09You said that, how hard is it to separate fact from fiction for you?
01:12Do you even bother doing that when you hear the different things?
01:14I mean, is there anything particular with it?
01:16Is it just everything that's been said?
01:18No.
01:20I expect for people to talk.
01:23Half the reason is because
01:24don't nobody ever know what I'm really doing.
01:26So you just make up stuff, which is fine.
01:28And honestly, I really don't pay any attention to it.
01:33But I got people telling me, oh, they said this, they said that.
01:35And it's like, it's really all good.
01:38I don't have to clear anything up.
01:40So, you know, more power to you.
01:42Keep talking.
01:43And we'll see where we end up.
01:46I have a question.
01:48Sure.
01:50Who do you think the people he is referring to are?
01:54They.
01:56Or.
01:58What, me?
02:03People are saying.
02:05This is my favorite part.
02:07You saw the face.

02:20No, I didn't.
02:21No, no, no.
02:22I asked him this first.
02:23Where were you?
02:24You saw the face.
02:25During the interview.

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