He doesn't have one yet, does he?
I'd promote "Throwback" because it describes his game.
-
Butthead... he's got a big head.
-
Lil' Bill
-
His nickname should be "Miley" because of the party in the usa singing at disney video.
-
J-Butt.
but I like Miley, too.
-
i like throwback since he really does play old school bball.
-
i, too, have been calling him j-butt. i don't think that one is gonna catch on though.
-
Fivehead
-
The whole time I thought it was "JIIIMMAAAHHHH BUTLLLAAAAHHHHH"
I cringe every time I hear that over the PA.
-
Jimmy "Velociraptor" Butler
-
The Jimmy

-
J-Butt.
Too true. You would have to incorporate Butt into any callsign
-
Jimmy Nutler.
-
Sportsbubbler has a video clip where Fulce calls him a Brontosaurus because his neck is so long. Still makes me giggle.
-
With a name like Jimmy Butler. He really doesnt need a nickname. ;)
-
First off, why doesn't something simple like The Butler work?
Secondly, whatever happened to the rumored tshirt someone was going to make that said "The Butler did it, In the Bradley Center, with a Basketball" or something to that effect?? I would buy at least 6 of those shirts right now if made for Christmas presents.
-
"Fathead" like those NFL stickers
-
We need to get "Jimmy's Butler's" back in the student section. That was hilarious last year.

The Jimmy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jimmy
Worst. Idea. Ever. Every time he's on the floor I have to listen to people reference him in 3rd person. Yeah I get it Seinfeld was funny, you miss 1996 and still think calling people who don't like going to the dentist 'anti-dentites'. Even if Seinfeld was a great show "Jimmy's Got Skills" and "Jimmy is a good basketball player" is only funny once per season, so don't waste it on a non-conference game but it's certainly not funny ever time Butler gets on the court.

Not sure I get your gripe with Seinfeld, it's still syndicated on like 15 different networks so it is certainly still relevant...
/I know the number is closer to 3

Not too mention from a guy with an Entourage reference as his screen name. Entourage is sweet. For reals.
-
My buddies and I refer to him as Jimmy B, has a nice college hoops ring to it.
-
Jimmy Buttafuocco
-
My friends and I call him "Shop-Vac". He seems to always be around the ball and has the special ability to grab offensive rebounds consistently. It started as a joke and has stuck with my group of friends.
-
my friends and I have always called him the "raptor"
-
Jimmy F*cking Butler.
-
+1
-
My buddies and I have been calling him Sir James Butler all season.
-
Jimmy F*cking Butler.
winner. JFB for short/the company of ladies/the uptight.
-
He's been J Butta since day one.
-
"The Butterfly" (to symbolize his incredible metamorphosis as a player)
-
The Jimmy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jimmy
Nice! My idol.
-
I do like "The Jimmy". I'm going to suggest waynehead, from the 90's cartoon
-
Brocktune.
Anyone?
Anyone???
-
The Alien
-
he looks like jamie fox to me. I keep waiting for him to rip down a board and start singing some Ray Charles.

The Jimmy. Tough as nails. Forged on the anvil of adversity. No stranger to pain, his soul calloused by the cruel twists of life in a barren Texas town. Despite these travails, or perhaps because of them, he journeyed north with a dream. And that is how he entered our world. His quest became our reward. We were moved by the sheer poetry of this encounter. Exquisite eloquence taken greyhound form. His artistry has that harsh elegance one finds in Thai silk or the bamboo forest...at once both refined and coarse…the yin and yang of life given impeccable expression through raw energy and graceful dispensation. The Jimmy delivers these lines like Olivier interpreted Hamlet - with a verve, panache, and audacity that only genius can dare. He must be The Jimmy...He can only be The Jimmy

Really?
-
I don't know if anyone else watches Friday Night Lights, but I think he looks a lot like Landry and refer to him as such.
-
Clue
At first everyone made references to "the Butler did it". It reminds me of the old board game "Clue"? You would try and figure out who committed a murder and one option was "the butler did it". Jimmy had a clue and that's why he improved so much from his first year to this year. He "murders" other teams with his outstanding play. Can't you hear the Bradley Center yelling "Cluuuu...e" after he makes a great play and those not familiar with the nickname asking "Why are they booing #33? He just made a great play?"
-
What about Colonel Mustard?
-
Monkey Pants...
-
The Squid...
-
Gertrude...
-
St. Norbert...

Speaking of that... Can we get Jimmy's Butlers back in the student section... those guys were hilarious
-
If a nickname isn't obvious and clearly reflect a universally observed trait, characteristic, or play on name, then he probably doesn't need one.
Otherwise, I suggest one of the random names listed in the above posts.
I also like
Dark shins, Grape Ape, and Mr. Hizzle.

I was going to point out the obvious flaw in your comparison (the FNL kid is white) but I zoomed in on the photo on the left of the page and I have to admit I think I see it.

I see the resemblance as well. Landry also looks a little like Matt Damon; although, Damon does not look like Butler. I guess the transitive property does not apply in this case.
-
His nickname should be "Miley" because of the party in the usa singing at disney video.
He's obsessed with Hannah Montana. He even has her picture on his iPhone.

Last year at the UCONN game, my friends and i dressed up as Jimmy's Butlers.
Should we bring it out of retirement?

Absolutely bring it back. I love it!!

Warthog, your status as Scoop's poet laureate is cemented with each new post. Equal parts Raymond Chandler and Elmore Leonard with assists from Tom Waits and Warren Zevon. This crap is hilarious. Proves that toothless Ruthie (of Avalanche fame) was without question the muse of MU.

This is a craft honed by years of living abroad while juggling young women on a lyrical string...keeping the intellectual fire alive in their souls so that my return to their world would yield more earthy delights...prosaic sublimation proffers panties on the lampshade, as it were.
Now, happily wed to a very good woman, my inner Hemingway must be channeled here, into that other great passion.

Absolutely!

Was there any resolution to this issue? Or will he remain simply, Jimmy Butler?
-
Thanks for illuminating his "jimminess"
-
The Jimmy will not be denied!

In fact, the jimmy was denied.

With his current hair do, he looks like a tall, african-american Bart Simpson...just sayin'

If he lets it get too much longer on top, he will be encroaching on Sideshow Bob territory.

Wonder if JFB is fond of his Scoop title?
Gotta be...its SCOOP!
