With a new change of scenery, going from windy Chicago to the Midwest offerings of Minnesota has Jimmy Butler wilding out here in these streets. Not only does it seem like he left his old Bulls team with a bit of animosity, but he’s taking note from the critics calling him out. So much so, that he put out his phone number at his introductory press conference.
During a part of his time with the media, he said he’s willing to take the blame for what happened with the Bulls and everyone is entitled to their opinion. That was right before putting his phone number out on blast and telling people to call him. There have been reports that Jimmy had a problem with the head coach and assistants during the last part of his tenure with the organization, which isn’t something the “face” of a franchise or their leader should be doing. No matter what the reason for him leaving was, he’s getting a fresh start with the Timberwolves.
Either way, we tried calling the number (to no answer), but several folks have gotten through and it seems to be legit. Jimmy is crazy for this one.
