Jimmy Butler might just be the toughest player in the NBA. He won’t back down from a challenge if any player decides to get extra physical with him. If Butler could stand up to Nene, he could stand up to anybody, especially Mason Plumlee.
“He thought he was playing football for a second there. It’s all good though, man. I almost had to let the Fort Greene projects out of me, Brooklyn.” (Butler was referencing Taj Gibson’s hometown). [Plumlee] cost me $2500 dollars. I’m not happy about that. I’m going to ask him to pay me back — and I’m not playin. I’m going to tell my agent to email [Plumlee] or something. I know [his email address] is MisterDukie@yahoo.com or something.” – Jimmy Butler
Butler was given a technical after retaliating against Mason Plumlee’s flagrant foul. Every technical in the Nba is a $2,500 fine, and Butler wants Plumlee to pay for it.
