Question: Is it Ubuntu or Unbutu?

It's spelled "UBUNtu" but the Celtics say "UNbutu." Check out this video at 1:34 mark. Both Tony and Ray Allen clearly say UN-butu.

Ubuntu, no unbuntu.

Sorta like that conversation I had with that "hardcore Lakers fan" about it being Mikan (me), not Milken (him)

So what's 'butu', Swahili for 'Kobe'?

You may as well ask:
Is it "expecially" or "especially"?
supposably or supposedly?
upmost or utmost?
antartic or antarctic?
calvary or cavalry?
irregardless or regardless?
Klu Klux Klan or Ku Klux Klan?
libary or library?
nucular or nuclear (thank you Georgey)?
spitting image or spit and image?
orientated or oriented?
perogative or prerogative?
and ironically, pronounciation or pronunciation?

We can go on forever...

Our President says Nukular.
That doesn't make it right.

Don't get them confused. Unbutu actually means "you slept with my sister's cousin's dog and had offspring with copious gas."

To be fair, so did Carter (who was a NUCLEAR PHYSICIST, if you recall), the first Bush, and Clinton. I think Reagan might've been the only president in my lifetime who could pronounce this word correctly.

And for your definition of "unbutu," are you sure it wasn't the Knick's motto, then?

People that say irregardless shouldn't be allowed to speak.

That is all
