Jimmy Butler On Boos In Minnesota Return: 'I Don't Care About Being Loved All The Time' 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Mar 31, 2019 2:24 am

Jimmy Butler had 12 points and 13 rebounds in his first game back in Minnesota since getting traded to the Philadelphia 76ers. The 76ers defeated the Timberwolves 118-109.


Butler was booed every time he touched the ball.


"I don't care about being loved all the time. It's no fun that way," said Butler. 


Brett Brown added that Butler thrives under pressure. 


"He thrives under blankets of controversy. I greatly respect it, and I think when you look at the high-level competitors, it is part of their DNA. It is certainly part of his DNA."
