Luan Savariz Hell yeah it was! Disrespectful to the ones that didn't make it in, to his Team Steph teammates, to Steph for picking him, and to the fans and coaches that voted for him.
You're not allowed to use injury/illness to miss the ASG unless you miss the game immediately before or immediately after the ASG. Forced compliance, or else the league risks everyone missing it. You ever wonder why we've never had a problem with attendance for, and playing in, a meaningless exhibition game? Therefore he couldn't give up the spot
Lebron oldest player in the the all-star game, has not missed a game all season so far, 7 straight NBA finals, averaging more pts/reb/asst then jimmy. and this young man out here talking about rest? give the spot to Lou williams than
Incognito one it is you play the game to become a legend or do you just play to say i was a nba player 😂😂😂😂😂. Idc if it's LeBron or any other Damn all star . Don't compare LeGoat to his airness then. Two different era's and styles.
Matthew Detrana I was looking forward to see him play because he's one of my favorites but he didn't play. If I would have known that before the all star I wouldn't have prepared myself for him. Another reason someone else could have played instead of him. Another reason is he basically chose to take the night off when everyone else continued to play. He his teammate Towns played.
I swear jimmy played 40 minutes against the lakers with multiple jammed fingers, and was limping at the 4th quarter? The Rule book states you can't skip the allstar game unless you were classified as injured for your last game, jimmy played in the last game. And i'm sure multiple players played whilst hungover... You ever wonder why we've never had a problem with attendance for, and playing in, a meaningless exhibition game?
It's the Coaches decision, Jimmy said don't worry about giving me minutes and still sat on the bench. Obviously because he was feeling tired and worn out he didn't want to but it come down to coaches decision.
Jessie Daniels gigs jimmy butler the only nba player who’s player over 40 mins a game and if you don’t believe it look at the stats cause you gotta remember Derrick rose was in this position Jb just got injured they lucky it wasn’t as bad as Derrick roses Tom needs to stop playing star players over 40 mins
I don't think it's just how many minutes a game Jimmy plays. We know Jimmy is capable of playing this much. It's just that fact that he just came out of an injury and was given no minutes restriction. WTF, he's been out for 4 games and Thibs already gives him 36+ minutes 4 games straight.
King Wani just let Westbrook have a pure point guard on his team. It would take his game to the next level because it will allow the game to come to him instead of forcing everything. I have been saying if he and CP3 ever teamed up, it would be the scariest back court ever
Why df do people vote in Draymond Green. Too many GS fan boys Draymond dropped 3 points in the All Star game and all of them were free throws smh. He’s averaging Lonzo numbers in the league rn.
How does somebody who plays the most minutes in the league suddenly decide that a couple of minutes on the floor playing for the people who voted for you is too much? If you didn't want to be there then you should've said so in advance so somebody else would be honoured with that spot.
I'll never vote for Jimmy Butler in a All Star game EVER!!!! again. I lost so much respect for that dude, that was so whack. you know how much all stars got snubbed that really wanted to play???? absolutely ridiculous smh
You're not allowed to use injury/illness to miss the ASG unless you miss the game immediately before or immediately after the ASG. Forced compliance, or else the league risks everyone missing it. You ever wonder why we've never had a problem with attendance for, and playing in, a meaningless exhibition game?
Most of the ones that did get snubbed got in after the injury replacements. But yeah it’s disrespectful to the fans and the players that really wanted to play in the game but didn’t get in.
Panagiiotis22 And what if every other All-Star also decided on the day that they didn't want to play? Can they also just do what they want their spot or are you one of those people who defends people that he likes no matter what but holds everybody else to a different standard?
It's an honor to be an all star. If he didn't want it that's totally fine. But say that beforehand. Many guys other deserving guys would've gladly took his place.
cool, you couldve played for 5minutes, yet u didnt even step on that court... So lets make it simple, you banned from next seasons All Star game , how bout that Jimmy? SMH
LMAO all these jordan worshippers thought the man was ill .. infact he was partying and gambling all night, drinkin henessy, smoking cigar .. the man was trash
Jimmy leads the league in minutes played! He is the timberwolves best player next to Wiggins and Towns, the dude is giving everything he's got. Sure he could have played 2 minutes or 4 but I feel like this is also a statement showing Thibs to distribute minutes in a better fashion. He probably thought, I'll see how I feel come Sunday, and his legs just needed rest. I hope Thibs sees this, and understands if he wants the Wolves to win a championship he needs to find other ways to play his guys.
There is nobody who's so tired that they can't play 5 mins of an All-Star game which isn't even a game that requires effort. He should've given up the spot if he didn't intend to play.
I can find excuse for Butler, but I am absolutely mad about Aldridge taking spot when he knew he was injured and and not fit to play (missed several games pre ASG weekend)...Spurs deserved All-Star selection and he was their best player in Kawhi absence but for freaking sake you got your selection, give someone else chance to participate we all know how stacked West is and how many deserving players got snubbed *CP3* *Jokic* (averaging *22pts* *12reb* *10ast* *1bk* *1.4st* on *56%FG* in last 7games), *Williams*, *CJ* etc
Butler was wrong. He new he wasn't gonna play. They could have made a last minute change. Its almost like he just wanted the all-star tag on his resume.
he would still have made his all-star designation and so he would have been eligible for all the all-star selection contract agreements barring he doesnt have a stupid one like "must be named all-star MvP" which i think chandler parsons had.... CHANDLER FUCKING PARSONS
It's really about him not playing, like no one turned up to see Jimmy Buttler. It's that he took a spot from Jovic, CJ or CP3. If he was tired he should of said that a week ago.
Bruh...its a vacation. He earned that spot in the game over his contemporaries. Being irked about some guy who didn't make it is a separate conversation. If he doesn't want to play, let him sit. He's an all star, don't get on his ass for not playing a game he was told to play because he's good at basketball.
On the surface yes but.... I'm from Chicago. When Thibs was coachin here, he BURNS his players OUT!!!!!!! Now he's in MN.... He's burning Jimmy out there!!! That said, Jimmy should've given up that spot for someone else.
Very disappointed. People voted him to play in AllStar. Fans want to see him playing but he didn’t because he want to rest and be ready for the season. I hope next year fans stop voting him. Lol
Vitor Hara i’m not mad at the dude. But he can’t do that to the people who voted him or pick him in AllStar. He should play even just 5 minutes. And do you think he’s the only one who want to rest and perform better for the season. How about Kd&Steph, Lebron 33 yrs old, or Embiid & Giannis their team stand 6&7 seeds in East, or Lillard & AD 7&8 seeds in West. Everyone wants to play better in season.
Vitor Hara if he wanted to rest he could stay home.i believe 1-2 minutes in a all star game are not that big off a deal.and he is not the only one.they all are key players with 35-40 minutes per game.in the end whatever people say it was a stupid decision
It’s completely disrespectful. He wasn’t that tired when it came to hitting the parties up. He could’ve made up an excuse or just said it earlier to allow someone else the opportunity. To be voted in as an AllStar is an honor.
And yet KAT was there balling. He should have stated upfront that he didn't want to play. Heck, I remember Dirk a few years back. He didn't want to be in the game because he wanted to rest but he was a late replacement. He still played a few minutes.
I see a bunch of people here speculating, mentioning that Jimmy Buckets was out partying till early in the morning the night of the ASG. Has any of it actually been confirmed by seeing eye witnesses? Did he mention this himself?
I was a Jimmy Butler fan till Sunday. I lost a lot of respect for his decision to rest during the All-Star Game. The Game is an exhibition for the NBA and it is an honor to be named to the All-Star Squad. Other players would have loved the opportunity to play in the All-Star Team. Jimmy could have mention after Thursday that he was tired and preferred to rest so someone else could go on Sunday in that spot. He could have declined the honor from the onset. Instead, he accepted the travel and accommodations from the NBA for him and his family or friends. He was in attendance for the events and enjoyed the benefits of being on the Team. He could have claimed to have a cold. He had one of the best seats in the Staples Center for the Game and got to dress for the Game. If it is true that he was too tired from partying in Los Angeles, then the NBA should suspend him for 3-5 Games and never allow him to be an All-Star again.
He Did Earn His Spot. But Damn U Could've Done Something to Give Someone Else A Chance To Play instead of Taking up Space. Everybody who played in the game needs rest.
Who gives a fuck, Jimmy has been amazing this season and If he doesn't want to play in a meaningless game so be it. Dude played the most minutes in the NBA let him rest
What if they did an All-Star before the championship? Sort of like the Pro Bowl, that way the players that need to rest for the big game rest and don't participate and the rest of the All-Stars have fun.
They need to switch the all star game back up and have it to where it’s at most 2 all stars from a team if you already play with all stars you shouldn’t have a problem sitting out the all star game maybe that a make the players wanna have there own teams again I’m tired of seeing the same teams in the playoffs and this big 3 league
He can't remove himself from the asg. He was voted in and was not injured prior to the asg weekend. Is he selfish in a bad way? Yes because there are fans who wanna see him at all star weekend. Is he selfish in a good way? Yes also because he wants to give all his best for his team and the organization.
Give Butler a break, He plays hard BUT he party harder! lol Yeah I agree that he should made up an injury so he be an allstar and given his spot(playing time) to others.
Would Butler still be considered an All-Star in the records this year if he gave up his spot? I'd get why he didn't want to give up the spot if that's the case.
I think that's disrespecful to the players that would do anything to play 5 minutes of the game.
A Friendly Hobo he didn't earn that spot over Lou
A Friendly Hobo they did play better Lou will averaging 23 & 5 but it's the fans that vote they don't have control over that
A Friendly Hobo there were other replacements in the game. Did they take a handouts?
And Butler is fucking average too busy getting his shit smacked away by Lechoke. Jokic is better anyhow.
Luan Savariz Hell yeah it was! Disrespectful to the ones that didn't make it in, to his Team Steph teammates, to Steph for picking him, and to the fans and coaches that voted for him.
Well shit give it to Lou then. He was ready to hoop lol
MrUrkel0730 Give it to Jokic.
MrUrkel0730 nah fam if you're an All star you get bonus incentives on your contract. I ain't giving that bonus up fam lol i feel for lou tho
MrUrkel0730 right, I’m mad as hell, Lou got fucked
RobLaidBack not that bonus though lol
Cmon man you know if Jimmy didn't get the nod it would go to CP3,
he should've given his spot to Lou Will if he knew he wasn't gonna play.
Jordan Davis Jokic*
You're not allowed to use injury/illness to miss the ASG unless you miss the game immediately before or immediately after the ASG. Forced compliance, or else the league risks everyone missing it. You ever wonder why we've never had a problem with attendance for, and playing in, a meaningless exhibition game?
Therefore he couldn't give up the spot
Lebron oldest player in the the all-star game, has not missed a game all season so far, 7 straight NBA finals, averaging more pts/reb/asst then jimmy.
and this young man out here talking about rest?
give the spot to Lou williams than
Jason U don't compare legends to all stars...jus not fare
Incognito one it is you play the game to become a legend or do you just play to say i was a nba player 😂😂😂😂😂. Idc if it's LeBron or any other Damn all star . Don't compare LeGoat to his airness then. Two different era's and styles.
Jason U + LET THEM KNOW BRO THE BEST COMMENT ON THIS !
Jason U + LOVE THIS COMMENT MAN !
Jason U agree with everything you said bro. Jimmy selfish as fuck
I love Butler but he's petty for that! For multiple reasons. I was disappointed when I found out he wasn't playing.
Zanyah 17 care to share any of those reasons?
give the spot up so many snubs would of love to have his spot
Zanyah 17 Yeah, I thought he was sick, but then to hear he was just resting...like WTF, u aren't the only starter on a top team in the ASG!
He plays for Tom thibs who ruined Noah and Rose from over playing them. Look what he's doing to butler lol and you want him to play more? Yikes
Matthew Detrana I was looking forward to see him play because he's one of my favorites but he didn't play. If I would have known that before the all star I wouldn't have prepared myself for him. Another reason someone else could have played instead of him. Another reason is he basically chose to take the night off when everyone else continued to play. He his teammate Towns played.
Lmao he was hungover and said “I’m still getting this check” so he sat on the bench. GOAT for rigging the system
lou will should be allstar i hated it when LAKERS traded him
COMPA WATTS we got josh hart and Thomas Bryant out of it
Lil Dank thanks for your feed back we need to be on top of everybody i hope we make good moves
Hashoa R. i feel you we need at least 2 superstars to make the young ones follow suit
His ass took shots away from dlo n Clarkson they needed to develop he just went out there and took shots
He was at parties. Getting drunk. He was hungover. But he is Petty for that 👎
Javier Hernandex or he’s exhausted because tibs plays him 40 minutes a night and works him to death just like he did to Luol Deng.
Pause Future KAT didn’t need the rest though
I swear jimmy played 40 minutes against the lakers with multiple jammed fingers, and was limping at the 4th quarter? The Rule book states you can't skip the allstar game unless you were classified as injured for your last game, jimmy played in the last game. And i'm sure multiple players played whilst hungover...
You ever wonder why we've never had a problem with attendance for, and playing in, a meaningless exhibition game?
Javier Hernandex he played 41 minutes for basically 5 games straight also though
J AP KAT doesn’t get played over 40 mins
Jimmy should've atleast played 5 minutes or something you not the only player banged up
It's the Coaches decision, Jimmy said don't worry about giving me minutes and still sat on the bench. Obviously because he was feeling tired and worn out he didn't want to but it come down to coaches decision.
Jessie Daniels gigs jimmy butler the only nba player who’s player over 40 mins a game and if you don’t believe it look at the stats cause you gotta remember Derrick rose was in this position Jb just got injured they lucky it wasn’t as bad as Derrick roses Tom needs to stop playing star players over 40 mins
I don't think it's just how many minutes a game Jimmy plays. We know Jimmy is capable of playing this much. It's just that fact that he just came out of an injury and was given no minutes restriction. WTF, he's been out for 4 games and Thibs already gives him 36+ minutes 4 games straight.
He was probably wasted the day before💀
Jimmy lying he probably drinking and partying the day after
Pacquiao Was Robbed before *
the day before.
Pacquiao Was Robbed ok and that doesn’t count as physical activity that counts as rest and relaxing
I wouldn’t mind after last night if Russ and Lebron teamed up
King Wani tryna get LeBron more help?? 😂😂😂
makeouthill if KD going to golden state ain't the ultimate help then idk why you speaking
Dante Hardy that don't mean everybody gotta join the wave smh
King Wani just let Westbrook have a pure point guard on his team. It would take his game to the next level because it will allow the game to come to him instead of forcing everything. I have been saying if he and CP3 ever teamed up, it would be the scariest back court ever
KidN'Play “weak minded”
He just had a hangover
Stak needs his own show asap
Why df do people vote in Draymond Green. Too many GS fan boys Draymond dropped 3 points in the All Star game and all of them were free throws smh. He’s averaging Lonzo numbers in the league rn.
Lowk3y Chris the coaches selected Draymond to be an all star not the gs fan boys.
The coaches do. Not media or fans.
if you think dray game is scoring you shouldnt talk basketball. Everybody know what dray brings
Designz R Us so Lonzo is an all star.
raynard j-m ford you think zo has the same impact as dray dude
How does somebody who plays the most minutes in the league suddenly decide that a couple of minutes on the floor playing for the people who voted for you is too much? If you didn't want to be there then you should've said so in advance so somebody else would be honoured with that spot.
I'll never vote for Jimmy Butler in a All Star game EVER!!!! again. I lost so much respect for that dude, that was so whack. you know how much all stars got snubbed that really wanted to play???? absolutely ridiculous smh
manninla Get out yo feelings
actually, with the injuries noone (maybe Howard) got snubbed. But I get what you are saying
You're not allowed to use injury/illness to miss the ASG unless you miss the game immediately before or immediately after the ASG. Forced compliance, or else the league risks everyone missing it. You ever wonder why we've never had a problem with attendance for, and playing in, a meaningless exhibition game?
Most of the ones that did get snubbed got in after the injury replacements. But yeah it’s disrespectful to the fans and the players that really wanted to play in the game but didn’t get in.
But you're not an NBA coach either so your opinion is irrelevant.
He does play the most minutes in the league
No lebron does fool
Anish Kulkarni jimmy plays 37.3 and lebron plays 37
He knew that before the weekend. He should've given up the spot if he didn't want to play.
Bonani Mathambo it's his spot he can do what he wants with it
Panagiiotis22 And what if every other All-Star also decided on the day that they didn't want to play? Can they also just do what they want their spot or are you one of those people who defends people that he likes no matter what but holds everybody else to a different standard?
It's an honor to be an all star. If he didn't want it that's totally fine. But say that beforehand. Many guys other deserving guys would've gladly took his place.
didn't even notice he wasn't playing lol
It's like setting $1M cash on fire in front of someone who's in $1M debt. Petty lol
#Johnnyboy #AnalogyKing
Bad analogy
Dumb fuck
Yes he could have given that $1M
for the peoplr that dont understand smh....
cool, you couldve played for 5minutes, yet u didnt even step on that court... So lets make it simple, you banned from next seasons All Star game , how bout that Jimmy? SMH
Don't they all need rest.....Butler isn't fit to wear an All Star jersey with that attitude...
I agree. Jimmy could have either: play briefly for like 5 minutes, or give the spot to Lou Williams, who is from LA
I would guess he was hungover. Or as Bulls fans like to call it, the flu
Josh Kanter like your faced flu
Yet Jordan still played and put up great numbers 😴
Josh Kanter lmfaooooooo
LMAO all these jordan worshippers thought the man was ill .. infact he was partying and gambling all night, drinkin henessy, smoking cigar .. the man was trash
LeQueen
Don't want to play ?
Then just give up your spot in ASG!
Jimmy leads the league in minutes played! He is the timberwolves best player next to Wiggins and Towns, the dude is giving everything he's got. Sure he could have played 2 minutes or 4 but I feel like this is also a statement showing Thibs to distribute minutes in a better fashion.

I hope Thibs sees this, and understands if he wants the Wolves to win a championship he needs to find other ways to play his guys.
Christian Vilina wiggins needs to be better with butler when butler is injured he pops of for 40 but when he's there mans a ghost
Yahia ali dude I completely agree with you
Christian Vilina
Wiggins leads the league in minutes played
Joseph Tedros no he does not you idiot
There is nobody who's so tired that they can't play 5 mins of an All-Star game which isn't even a game that requires effort. He should've given up the spot if he didn't intend to play.
I can find excuse for Butler, but I am absolutely mad about Aldridge taking spot when he knew he was injured and and not fit to play (missed several games pre ASG weekend)...Spurs deserved All-Star selection and he was their best player in Kawhi absence but for freaking sake you got your selection, give someone else chance to participate we all know how stacked West is and how many deserving players got snubbed *CP3* *Jokic* (averaging *22pts* *12reb* *10ast* *1bk* *1.4st* on *56%FG* in last 7games), *Williams*, *CJ* etc
His knee wasn’t feeling good then... so he was like fuck dat...he was trying to prevent injury but it still happened...damn Jimmy B‼️
Wow. Nah lou Williams should have been there. Everybody can play pick up games
Butler was wrong. He new he wasn't gonna play. They could have made a last minute change. Its almost like he just wanted the all-star tag on his resume.
Butler is a Clown. That team is going NOWHERE
lmao Real shit tho
IonlyRob White420Dealers butler a clown? Nigga he wanted rest fuck all star game
Dude leads league in minutes per game under Thibs.
That man partied!!!!
But if he gives the spot he won’t won’t get the title of being an all star that year, it helps on contract extensions
he would actually
he would still have made his all-star designation and so he would have been eligible for all the all-star selection contract agreements barring he doesnt have a stupid one like "must be named all-star MvP" which i think chandler parsons had.... CHANDLER FUCKING PARSONS
If he felt that way, then let the REAL ALL-STAR SNUB CP3 PLAY
He had a hangover lol
It's really about him not playing, like no one turned up to see Jimmy Buttler. It's that he took a spot from Jovic, CJ or CP3. If he was tired he should of said that a week ago.
Mabsss33 Jokic ;)
Mabsss33 Lou will
Coaches will probably never take him as a reserve no more lmao
Some bullshit, Lou will should have gotten his spot 🤦🏽♂️
Zuami Montanez it was gonna be Devin booker or Chris Paul
Rishi Dorbala Lou should have gotten it tho
Zuami Montanez maybe but him and booker should have been in for Klay and jimmy butler
He shoulda gave his spot up then tf
I agree. If he doesn’t want to play then give it to someone else that wants to play.
Bruh...its a vacation. He earned that spot in the game over his contemporaries. Being irked about some guy who didn't make it is a separate conversation. If he doesn't want to play, let him sit. He's an all star, don't get on his ass for not playing a game he was told to play because he's good at basketball.
First nigga to sit out the ASG for a hangover
Butler originally wanted to play but got hungover and backed out last minute.
He should have at least played 5 minutes...
Bad move on Jimmy butler.
On the surface yes but.... I'm from Chicago. When Thibs was coachin here, he BURNS his players OUT!!!!!!! Now he's in MN.... He's burning Jimmy out there!!! That said, Jimmy should've given up that spot for someone else.
Do injured players still recieve an official all star accolade? Is Porzingis a one time all star?
Dzejman yh they do
Yes.
Very disappointed. People voted him to play in AllStar. Fans want to see him playing but he didn’t because he want to rest and be ready for the season. I hope next year fans stop voting him. Lol
Vitor Hara i’m not mad at the dude. But he can’t do that to the people who voted him or pick him in AllStar. He should play even just 5 minutes. And do you think he’s the only one who want to rest and perform better for the season.

It’s completely disrespectful. He wasn’t that tired when it came to hitting the parties up. He could’ve made up an excuse or just said it earlier to allow someone else the opportunity. To be voted in as an AllStar is an honor.
too much Tom thibodeau
Donald Goines Spot on. He also ruin D Rose career IMO.
And yet KAT was there balling. He should have stated upfront that he didn't want to play. Heck, I remember Dirk a few years back. He didn't want to be in the game because he wanted to rest but he was a late replacement. He still played a few minutes.
I'm only mad that I played him in my FD lineup lol
rach that ish was tooo good #allstarweekend18
He's been playing the whole game all year
I see a bunch of people here speculating, mentioning that Jimmy Buckets was out partying till early in the morning the night of the ASG. Has any of it actually been confirmed by seeing eye witnesses? Did he mention this himself?
He could've played 3 minutes. That wouldn't have hurt. Everyone else played
MrRay 6 minutes wouldn't hurt tell that to Gordan hayward
matthew jacobs so everyone should sit the all star game then? Or how about cancel the entire all star weekend? Rookie game, dunk contest, etc.
I was a Jimmy Butler fan till Sunday. I lost a lot of respect for his decision to rest during the All-Star Game. The Game is an exhibition for the NBA and it is an honor to be named to the All-Star Squad. Other players would have loved the opportunity to play in the All-Star Team. Jimmy could have mention after Thursday that he was tired and preferred to rest so someone else could go on Sunday in that spot. He could have declined the honor from the onset. Instead, he accepted the travel and accommodations from the NBA for him and his family or friends. He was in attendance for the events and enjoyed the benefits of being on the Team. He could have claimed to have a cold. He had one of the best seats in the Staples Center for the Game and got to dress for the Game. If it is true that he was too tired from partying in Los Angeles, then the NBA should suspend him for 3-5 Games and never allow him to be an All-Star again.
Lol when they realize that he was hungover 😂😂
Come on Jimmy, you were at the warm ups. You're dressed up already. Do like Al Horford, six dam minutes. I'm sure Wiggins wanted that spot.
He Did Earn His Spot. But Damn U Could've Done Something to Give Someone Else A Chance To Play instead of Taking up Space. Everybody who played in the game needs rest.
If he didnt wana play then they should've taken someome else smh
he did hurt his finger in the last before the all Star break against the Lakers
Lisa Will 6 minutes make Difference Ask Gordan Hayward that same question!!!!!
nuff said
Played or not played he is not hurt
Jimmy is going to be in more ASG's. This could possibly be Lou's only shot.
Why all these “Butlers” getting slept on?? 🤨
Should have gave it to someone else.
Jokic deserve to be in the All Star.
Butler earned his spot, Lou Will didn't. Lou Will doesn't get a spot just because someone doesn't wanna play, he's gotta earn that.
Guys crying that they got shut out of being an All Star, then this dude comes out and says, "Naw, I'll sit. I'm tired"
Lou Will should've been chosen over butler anyway..Thibs don't get enough credit for teams position in standings, my opinion
he had a hangover lmao
Sweet Lou could’ve took his spot
Its fine...next year they should snub him tho
Timberwolf coach works them hard they say
I’m sure a lot of people were “sick” with the “LA flu” but he’s the only one who didn’t play
Agree, should have given the chance to others.
Jimmy Buckets was hungover and tired from getting Buckets the night before!
What does amin say? Tmdc?
C'om on playing 10 minutes won't change anything
is it that hard to go out and play 3 minutes? thats really all you need to do
It should have been lou williams.. 1 cuz he is ballin out. 2 to be the one to rep the host city. 3 he wants to play!
If he didn’t want too play he should of gave his spot to Lou Will
Who gives a fuck, Jimmy has been amazing this season and If he doesn't want to play in a meaningless game so be it. Dude played the most minutes in the NBA let him rest
Season more important than an exhibition. Reg season and playoff hope> a meaningless all star game
Nah, that’s bullshit because that’s a waste of an All Star spot, Ben Simmons should have taken it in that case.
What if they did an All-Star before the championship? Sort of like the Pro Bowl, that way the players that need to rest for the big game rest and don't participate and the rest of the All-Stars have fun.
They need to switch the all star game back up and have it to where it’s at most 2 all stars from a team if you already play with all stars you shouldn’t have a problem sitting out the all star game maybe that a make the players wanna have there own teams again I’m tired of seeing the same teams in the playoffs and this big 3 league
He can't remove himself from the asg. He was voted in and was not injured prior to the asg weekend.
Is he selfish in a bad way? Yes because there are fans who wanna see him at all star weekend.
Is he selfish in a good way? Yes also because he wants to give all his best for his team and the organization.
It’s not that he needed rest but he was hungover
Give Butler a break, He plays hard BUT he party harder! lol
Yeah I agree that he should made up an injury so he be an allstar and given his spot(playing time) to others.
Sweet Lou i'm sorry man
He should have given his spot to lou williams or cp3.
This was the best ASG in years and he wasted a spot. Lou Williams or CP3 should have gotten in.
Paul jokic*
man please he was pouting....Rest at home dude...
you gotta at least play 5 min and represent your fans and team
Would Butler still be considered an All-Star in the records this year if he gave up his spot? I'd get why he didn't want to give up the spot if that's the case.
Like that gonna help him win a championship.lol😂😂😂
That’s a first for me. What’s going on Jimmy?!
But the all star is more for fun and for the fans. The all star game is not really competitive anymore.
