Jimmy Butler Had Security Called On His Room, Turned Out He Was Dribbling Too Hard While Drenched In Sweat In His Practice Gear

Jimmy Butler is known for going hard at practice. We had the famous Jimmy Butler/Timberwolves debacle where he teamed up with third-stringers to whoop the starters and then berated GM Scott Layden. Butler also allegedly “aggressively challenged” Sixers coach Brett Brown during his stint in Philly. The man goes hard with his practice sessions.

But when security was called to Jimmy Butler’s room for a disturbance, he showed that he doesn’t go any easier even when the practice is just with himself. NBA on TNT and Yahoo’s Chris Haynes had the report:

According to @ChrisBHaynes, even quarantine couldn’t stop @JimmyButler from getting his work in 😂 pic.twitter.com/7AdncpVXW4

Security thought they were going to find a vintage Edgar Allen Poe Telltale Heart scenario and instead it was just Jimmy Butler in there pouring sweat while looking something like this:

Definitely still better than walking on him JO-ing but somehow equally as intimate.

Either way, it seems like Jimmy Butler is already in playoff form. And if Kendrick Nunn and Bam Adebayo don’t show up, Butler may be able to will the Heat through a couple rounds with guys like Duncan Robinson and K.Z. Okpala while berating Scott Layden from afar.
