Jimmy Butler says Marcus Smart 'not about that life' after game 4 scuffle

[ThumbsUpBaby]

Flopping doesn't make you any less tough. He flops because he's trying to get a reaction from the refs. How does that play into being tough or not? As much as he flops, he also throws his body around and takes charges from players much larger than him. Lebron flops. I don't think Jimmy would question his toughness.

Both players are tough in their own right. Neither will back down from a fight. Not sure if that's the "life" Jimmy is referring to.

Nah. Habitual flopping makes you soft.

Yeah Cavs fans should know, considering they watch LeBron every game.

Smart is way too obvious, he's one of those people that don't want know parts of a fight, but likes to act tough cause he got a little muscle on him. Jimmy would eat his children.

You clearly haven't read anything about his past

What he grew up in the hood? So what so did I. I peeped what this cat is all about way before this incident. Those story's sound as real as his flopping.

Butler, you about to get shut down. Hard. You were already gonna lose, but now you gonna look stupid, too.

Maybe you should post that Nene video? Or are you implying that Butler is afraid of Pierce but not Nene?

I def dont think jimmy is scared of pierce, but it looks like he respects him which is cool.

Both of them have nothing on Aaron Hernandez.

He ain't about life in general

I don't even think that's 'avoiding' Pierce. You don't have to start a fight every time there's a little altercation, Jimmy just gets on with it for the most part.

The whole fake/real tough guy "about that life" stuff is the corniest **** ever in the history of sports.

I think you're getting into it a bit too seriously. It's mind games. Verbal warfare.

And btw, Marcus Smart would literally eat Jimmy Butler for breakfast.

Having a tough life, or growing up in a rough place doesn't mean you can fight, or are more likely to win a fight. Get over it. Why do you guys even care who is more "real tough" as opposed to fake tough? All of these guys have skated by most of their life by being the larger man and having people back down before they have to fight.
