Fans cooked Jimmy Butler for celebrating Spain’s win over England
Despite the jubilant celebrations, several NBA fans didn't miss the opportunity to tease Butler, with some suggesting that this might be the closest he'll ever get to celebrating a championship.
Mocking the Miami Heat’s early exit from the previous year’s championship race, a fan wrote, “Closest to a championship he’s even gonna get.”
Various comments surfaced that widely highlighted Butler's NBA career without a championship win, contrasting it with his international success, having won a gold medal with Team USA at the 2016 Olympic Games.
Another fan mocked Jimmy for engaging in activities rather than winning rings for his team. He wrote, “Doing everything but winning a championship.”
The jests from fans alluded to the fact that while Butler has experienced success on the international stage, particularly with Team USA, he is yet to clinch an NBA championship, despite leading the Miami Heat to two Eastern Conference titles.
But the X/Twitter users hardly showed any mercy in taking jabs at the Heat star, as another user wrote, “Closest he will ever feel to a champion.”
A fan speculated all the reactions as a setting up for Jimmy as he wrote, “Yall setting him up.”
