One of the most disrespectful things you can say on the basketball court is, "He can't guard me."
When you play like Jimmy Butler did against the Bucks, it's validated. The Bulls guard went off and gave his team the spark they needed to stretch the lead and eventually win, 91-82. Butler is definitely adding value to his potential contract offers.
After doing things like that, it's easy to see why he would be a little cocky. While running down court, he mouthed to coach Tom Thibodeau that no one on the Bucks could guard him. People can hate, but during the past two games it has been a true statement. To add insult to injury, Butler paid homage with a little Michael Jordan shrug. Classic.
In case Thibs couldn't make out what Butler was saying, he made sure to reiterate when a timeout was called.
Usually people don't like a cocky player, but Butler's 31 points prove that no one could guard him during this game.
