The Golden State Warriors recently squared off against the Toronto Raptors at the electrifying Chase Center. The game was packed with thrilling moments that had fans completely captivated. What’s unexpected is that a standout moment took place during the post-game interview with Jimmy Butler, adding even more excitement to the night.
Butler went through several conflicts with his previous team, the Miami Heat, which ultimately resulted in his trade to the Warriors on February 6, 2025. After the trade, Butler quickly adapted to his new team and developed strong relationships with his teammates. He and Buddy Hield often engaged in light-hearted banter. Recently, fans enjoyed another entertaining exchange between Butler and Hield during a post-game interview.
Buddy: “That fake a** triple-double you had today.”
Jimmy: “You don’t even pass the ball enough to get a triple-double so I’m not even worried about you.”
Buddy interrupted Jimmy’s media availability (again):
