Jimmy Butler may have shaded Pat Riley in viral coffee shop video as Heat drama builds
NY Post
When Jimmy Butler wants out, he never does so quietly.
And he might have taken a shot at the Miami Heat — possibly long-time team president Pat Riley — in a video posted on his Instagram story.
Butler was at his BigFace Coffee brick-and-mortar location in the Miami Design District this week, it seems, when the six-time NBA All-Star posted a video that is already making the rounds.
Buter, who is still a member of the Heat — though he requested a trade last week — was talking up an employee at BigFace and said, “This is our best guy right here. See that? I gave you a compliment. That’s what bosses do.”
He added, with a smile, “We build you up, we don’t break you down,” he said, holding a thumbs up.
It’s not completely clear if this is a shot at Riley or anyone in particular, but given Butler’s history and the current climate surrounding his ordeal with the Heat, it’s beyond plausible that this is calculated.
