Jimmy Butler blasts Josh Hart, claims Knicks ‘would be f–king at home’ if he were healthy
NY Post
Last year, Jimmy Butler sent Tom Thibodeau and the Knicks home, and the Heat’s superstar wing wanted to do it again.
In a video that went viral on social media, Butler took shots at the Knicks, Josh Hart and Thibodeau — along with the Celtics.
“If I was playing, Boston would be at home,” said Butler, who missed the Heat’s opening-round playoff loss to the Celtics with a sprained right MCL. “New York damn sure would be f–king at home.”
The interviewer then brought up Josh Hart.
“F–k that mean to me? Josh Hart? C’mon man,” said Butler, a six-time All-Star who played for Thibodeau with the Bulls and Timberwolves. “I love Thibs, but I don’t want Thibs. Thibs, I love you baby, but I want to beat you to a pulp. You want me. I don’t want you. It’s like a one-sided relationship.
“You in love with me and I love you but I’m not in love with you, you know what I’m saying.”
