Those of you that catch a lot of Bulls games know that Stacey King will frequently give players a nickname or a saying that goes with them. The most famous example being "hot sauce" with Kyle Korver, or my preference of "who is that masked man?" for Hamilton. I'm not sure if this one started longer ago than I noticed because the sound of the game is usually drowned out by my two year olds, but tonight is the first time I'm hearing it, and he has been dropping "Jimmy Buckets" frequently for Butler.
One exchange was "Ooooh Jimmy Buckets! Jimmy wants buckets. Jimmy needs buckets." After Butler finished an alley oop dunk.
Like it since they probably can't use JFB on tv.
I don't really know why, but there just is an inherent ring and satisfaction in yelling "Jimmy F*cking Butler" after one of his baskets.
JFB hit a big three late last night. Good to see him starting to develop confidence and a comfort level on the offensive end.

Not to mention its just awesome, and amusingly contradictory to his mellow nature. My friends who are casual Marquette fans as a result of being affiliated with me, all know and refer JFB as such and took to the name with enthusiasm as soon as they heard it. I'm working on passing it along to all my Bulls fan associates as well.

I'm telling Larry Williams.
