Transcript

00:00Jimmy Butler was at the starting five premiere, which is a LeBron James production.

00:07And so his social media group, the uninterrupted was there and they asked Jimmy a seemingly innocuous question.

00:15Jimmy Butler, if you had your dream cast for starting five, who would you want to be?

00:21Now, you guys may be calling me.

00:24Are you reading into this?

00:26Perhaps it could be something.

00:28In fact, it was the open Margo's.

00:30This could be something could be nothing.

00:33I don't know.

00:34That's why I'm bringing it to you.

00:36But there's a little comment in here a little why would they do that?

00:42What's going on in Utah?

00:43It could be something could be nothing.

00:46What is the meaning of it?

00:47What's what is the object of this?

00:50Why would they do that?

00:52It's a little comment.

00:53It's going to seem like it may seem like nothing, but it could be the biggest in this whole thing.

01:02So I'm going to play this for you.

01:03We'll play the video here for you from the uninterrupted and you tell me Leroy if it stands out to you.

01:11What stood out to me so many players trying to think of people that really got some stuff going me personally.

01:18I think Kirk hiring is just a country individual and y'all really like to see what Kirk is doing behind closed doors besides shotgun and beers.

01:25I mean you got to say Mike.

01:27You got to say Mike because Mike always got something.

01:29I'm curious about Joel Embiid's life.

01:31I want to know more about Jojo now that he's a father and he just signed an extension good for him.

01:36I got two more Jamar.

01:38You got to pick the where he at with Debo at gotta pick him.

01:41Look at him just La from head to toe.

01:43I haven't seen a player wear Louboutins in like 10 years and he's still got it.

01:47You realize I'm probably from like 2012 because he don't spend no money.

01:51And who else would I go with?

01:52I'm gonna tell you somebody is super interesting.

01:54He's a godfather of Riley McHale Butler.

01:56My daughter Kyle Lowry.

01:58I think y'all would be very very impressed with who Kyle is as a person.

02:01I just don't want to see him play golf all day, but take the golf out and he's he's dope.

02:06So there you go.

02:07That was your bullet.

02:08Did you hear the comment Leroy?

02:10Yes, not to you.

02:11I only got his extension.

02:13I know got his extension good for him.

02:20I don't feel like he thinks good for him.

02:21I think you think I think he thinks what about good for me?

02:26Joel got an extension.

02:27He only played averages 50 games a year.

02:30Yep.

02:31Yep.

02:32Yep.

02:33Jimmy Butler's out in the sun.

02:35Good for him.

02:36I got.

02:39No more about Jojo.

02:40Now that he's a father and he just signed an extension good for him.

02:44I got two more.

02:50Good for him.

02:51A lot of Chicago Bulls.

02:52Yeah, it's interesting.

02:53A lot of Chicago Bulls.

02:54Kirk Heinrich, huh?

02:55Kirk Heinrich of all people.

02:57Kirk Heinrich tangibles OG intangibles.

03:01Interesting.

03:03Do you think that was a shot?

03:05Do you think you think he wanted Pat Riley to see that somehow and be like,

03:09well, why would I mean?

03:10I think I think he's probably like, here's the other thing.

03:13You think Pat Riley cares that what?

03:17No, he said, you think you want to Pat Riley to see that?

03:19Yeah, I'm like, oh, no, no, no.

03:25Re Riley does see everything.

03:27Riley does see everything.

03:29He says, you know, that is that's the that is the facts of it.

03:32He does.

03:33He does see everything.

03:34What would be your ideal starting five?

03:38My ideal.

03:38So I will give you that.

03:39I will give you that.

03:40But I want to lean more into this.

03:42Yeah.

03:44Do you feel like because we got, we got, you know, media days going on,

03:46baby.

03:47It's a couple days away.

03:48Do you feel like Jimmy's gonna make it as a thing or you think he's going

03:51to no play it?

03:52No play it slow play.

03:53What do you think is going to be his?

03:54No play.

03:56No play.

03:58Don't play it.

03:59Interesting.

04:00I think until the season starts.

04:03And interesting, then like it ain't gonna be nothing now or he might

04:09just go out of his way to just abuse everybody at practice.

04:12Oh, interesting to show that he's better than everybody like a wolf

04:16situation.

04:17Yeah.

04:18Interesting.

04:19Yeah.

04:22I don't know man.

04:23Like again, I ain't mad at Jimmy for one an extension and I ain't mad at

04:29Pat for saying no.

04:31I find funny why like everybody here is saying they're shocked.

04:36They don't think Riley is going to see that Smitty says I'd be shocked

04:38if I saw that Pat's not in the video.

04:40First of all, Pat Riley knows everything guys.

04:44They have a media relations department, a department who are all very

04:49good at their job.

04:50Yeah.

04:51Second of all, he sees everything guys.

04:54He used to have he probably still does.

04:56I've I exposed one that you know, it probably should have just kept

04:59to myself.

04:59Yeah, it's closed.

05:00One Twitter burner account years ago.

05:02Oh, you do it man.

05:05What?

05:06Most of his burner accounts.

05:07You know, he's got a new one, dude.

05:09I don't know what it is, but you know, he's got a new one, you know,

05:12if he doesn't have a media relations team, letting him know he's got

05:16a chatty Patty journalist.

05:18So hey, he did see that video.

05:22He saw Jimmy Butler talking.

05:23Oh gosh.

05:26Don't shut up.

05:28Chatty Patty, dude.

05:32I don't know.

05:32I think he sees it and I think he'd take notes of it.

05:36But I think Jimmy Butler is not going to do anything crazy with his

05:40hair or anything like that for media day.

05:43And I think he's going to slow play this whole thing.

05:45Jimmy Butler is getting back to basketball this year.

05:48You heard it here first.

05:49Wow.

05:50I like that.

05:51Me too.

05:51I mean, I think it should be, you know.

05:56Probably one of the most important things he does this year.

06:01And here, this is one of those situations where if Jimmy doesn't

06:09go out and ball, then Pat's going to be justified.

06:14You see what I mean?

06:15I will say he did have a video that came out on his socials and

06:20it was very telling that Jimmy Butler does still hate the Celtics

06:25guts because he was shooting in his gym and you'll notice.

06:30He starts shouting heat intangibles while he shoots and then somebody

06:35mentions another intangibles and he did not like it.

06:55You misplayed it there.

06:57Coachy guy.

06:58I thought we were just doing intangibles.

07:01You don't mention Celtics intangibles here.

07:04Yeah, good.

07:05It's still in there for Jimmy.

07:07It'll in there.

07:08In there.

07:09And to be honest, what he said last year wasn't wrong.

07:15Well, I know he can't be proven wrong.

07:18That's the thing.

07:19Pat Riley didn't like it, but it wasn't wrong.

07:23It wasn't wrong.

07:23He can't prove it.

07:24Didn't keep Pat Riley from being Pat Riley, but Pat Riley and Jimmy

07:28Butler are the same kind of their confrontational.

07:32They'll ruffle feathers and that's kind of what makes it a sick

07:35relationship.

07:37Yeah, extremely sick relationship.

07:39But again, I would say that both guys are right.

07:50Jimmy's not going to see Pat side.

07:53And all Pat can see is the number of games and how far they are out

07:57of the second seed and come to the conclusion.

08:00If my injured guys will play more.

08:03We wouldn't be in that situation.

08:05So no, I'm not paying more money.

08:07Reminds me, you know, Pat Riley and Jimmy Butler, you know, Pat

08:10Riley's a president.

08:10I was once president of fraternity and it reminds me when there

08:13was sometimes beef in the fraternity, you know, it was tough to

08:16pick sides because you could see both sides, you know, this is

08:20this is where all heat fans are at.

08:21I'm not asking heat fans to pick sides.

08:23I, you know, I've picked my side, but I see Pat Riley side,

08:27you know.

08:28Were you ever in a robe and like with a gavel at any point?

08:32Absolutely.

08:34I knew it.

08:37Of course, I would love to go back and see exactly how a

08:42fraternity courtroom would look inside it.

08:45It's about Joel and B's life.

08:46I want to know more about Jojo now that he's a father and he

08:49just signed the extension.

08:50Good for him.

08:51I got it's even got tone of good for him for him for him.

08:57Why would that like, why his knees and his whole body's made

09:00of peanut brittle, but good for him.

09:03He barely did anything in the Olympic run, but you know, good

09:06for him.

09:07I know he's never been to a conference finals and I go to a

09:10conference finals every year, but good for him, you know, he

09:15falls almost every other play.

09:18Um, I don't, but you know, good for him and his extension.

09:22His face is made out of eggshell, but good for him.

09:27What the hell's wrong with you guys?

09:34Was Judge Joe Clown.
