What Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat are doing in the NBA playoffs is already legendary and could become mythical if they go on to win the NBA Championship.
A play-in 8 seed led by a 33 year old veteran a touch past his prime takes 7 undrafted players to the NBA Title!!! Better yet a veteran super star with with a reputation for being hard on teammates and organizations who he didn't feel are committed to hard work and winning! While going on this run his team blows up every Las Vegas prediction model and embarrasses GM's across the league.
Not since King Leonidas kept a million man Persian Army at bay with just 300 Spartans has such an incredible fete played out.
The two most important things that shaped Jimmy Butler to being the man he is today was the family that took Jimmy in when the birth mother kicked him out of the house as a teen. The 2nd was Marquette and Buzz. During the Wojo era Marquette became soft and embarrassing but under Crean, Buzz and now Shaka, Marquette is a program where you go to work very hard both on the basketball court and in the class room. The bar is set very high and not lowered for anyone.
Once again this attached video is also legendary with how many less heralded players, as far as high school recruiting rankings go, ended up playing on NBA rosters at one point in their post Marquette careers. Around the 4:20 mark we even get a touch of Jimmy Butler's now notorious temper with teammates, something Derrick Rose encountered from Jimmy when he became a prima donna and went from NBA Superstar to NBA Bust.

FIFY.
Also, injuries had more to do with Derrick Rose becoming a "bust" than being a prima donna. Of the two of those guys, only one became best friends with Marky Mark.

Throw in a little arrogance and obnoxiousness -- "F**K 'em -- and you've describe what Marquette University is about as well as anyone. And that's more than the basketball team!
That's all of us!

Thankfully off the court Marquette is way more "Cura Personalis" than it is "F*ck 'em."

BS. I’m as big a Marquette fan as there is here and I despise UW. But I don’t care whether JFB has a fued working with someone at MU or if he stole your girlfriend - I still love his story and root for him. And I think most on Scoop agree.

I've seen it since his time in college. I think people still root for the guy because he played at Marquette and is having success in the NBA, but I think his "character" is starting to be "revealed" the more we see of him. But most people don't want to say it. Which is fine, never meet your heroes. But that water bottle full of sand has been tipped over and we see what's inside of it.

His story and what he’s overcome both personally and on the court is amazing. There’s no harder worker in the NBA. He asks for no quarter and gives none. The only people I’ve seen question his character are you and some players unwilling to pay the price that he does. Neither you nor they matter even a little to me.

And he'll be damn sure to let everybody know it, too!
Nothing better than hard working, grinder, put your head down and do the work, modest Mr. Jimmy Butler. He of "I'll blow up practice, walk out screaming to pay me and that you need me, leave early and call up my late night 'you up?' girl and have her interview me at my house while they're still practicing," best friend of Mark Wahlberg, modest Jimmy phucking Butler.
And those are the nicest things you could say about the guy.

Did JFB bang your sister or cuckold you with your girlfriend?

Hellofa playa, aina?

I appreciate the commitment to the character.

Jimmy is a great player with an inspirational backstory, no doubt. But everything he does off the court makes me think "that's so Buzz".

ESPN story:
utler's teammates and coaches appreciate him because they know how much better he is making the group every night.
"It's fun," Heat guard Kyle Lowry said. "He's one of the best players in the world for a reason. It's just a joy to watch it. For a guy that wants it so bad and works so hard at his craft, it's important to enjoy his success. He gives us all the confidence to be successful and be aggressive and be assertive. That's what makes him special, that it's not all about him. He's about our group and our team and everyone else."
-
Why is being friends with Mark Wahlberg bad?
Dwyane Wade is friends with Tom Crean, that's way worse.
Jimmy demands excellence from everyone around him and lo and behold he found it in Miami with Pat Riley + Eric Spo. Heat Culture is to "out work everyone". How can one not root for that.
What has KAT or Ben Simmons ever done? Why are you siding with them? Jimmy is a grinder, he personifies what #mubb is when #mubb is at its best. We're gonna see it next season when Justin & O Max join the league. Just like Wes, Jae, Dwight & JTA before them. Same with Wade, he wasn't annointed.
-
As time goes on, I don’t think Butler was wrong during that practice in Minnesota.
-
When the 30 for 30 happens, I want withoutbias interviewed. Spell out his accusations and put them on the record.
-
I just looked at Jimmy's story, he's at an Italian spot in Boston with multiple bottles of Sassicaia on the table.
Respect is growing.

We all know Mr. Butler had to go in front of a judge multiple times, although I looked, and there is no arrest record for one James F. Butler
-

Someone from his alma mater, Tyler Juco (just ask him), can give an interview.
Also, why are we making a 30 for 30? A first round pick is turning into one of the best players in the league?

He wasn't wrong about KAT and the Wolves though....
Anyway I have learned long ago not to get to star-struck with these guys. But I just love the way he plays.
-
Jimmy has a great story and I respect the hell out of how he plays. But I have a hard time rooting for someone who publicly craps on my alma mater regularly. Even a Domer like Pat Connaughton shows Marquette more respect.
He's a fine NBA player, but right now I certainly don't regard him as a Marquette player.

I don’t think he craps on Marquette regularly. He’s pretty quiet about it.
-
Is there any publicly available coverage of Jimmy criticizing or distancing himself from MU? I have never seen this outside of unspecific scoop chatter.
My two cents is that Jimmy’s NBA run is signficantly underrecognized by MU and this board. Maybe there’s a reason for the former, but I’m not aware of it. This guy has put together an astonishing career as the second best pro to ever come through Marquette.

He allegedly avoids returning to MU while most of the other former high profile MU basketball alums have come back and spoken to the team during Shaka’s time. He went and shot around at MSOE rather than MU during their series against Marquette. He allegedly did not provide a congratulation/well wishes video to Barb while most other high profile #mumbb alum did. Someone shared a video of him after game 5 in Milwaukee saying something along the lines of “Get me the eff up outta here. Tyler Community College alum.”
I think he gets his fair share of praise from MU and from Scoop. MU posts on social media every round they advance and every big game he has. I would assume they’ve reached out to try to get him back on campus since Shaka arrived. He seems uninterested.

Thanks for the round up. It seems that there’s some missing context to why he’s disengaged. Would love to know it.

This is where I'm at. If he doesn't want anything to do with MU, then I won't root for him like the other alums.

Old news - High school drop out street punk who seems to have done a good job rehabilitating himself. Jimmy’s OK with his racism being youthful stupidity and a thing of the past so I am too.

That's a fine position to have. I believe in second chances and rehabilitation and like I said I have no idea what Wahlberg is like now.
But let's be clear. Wahlberg didn't send some unfortunate tweets or say something offensive while being recorded. He was charged with attempted murder for beating a Vietnamese man with a wooden pole. He took a plea bargain to drop the charge to assault. I think it is disingenuous to label that as "youthful stupidity".
-

You keep me out of this. I am just providing information about Wahlberg since a question was asked.

I've posted before about my friends meeting Butler in rural France and how gracious and engaging he was to them. They told him that they had a buddy who was a fan and would he write an autograph. He wrote:
"Mutaman
Go Warriors/Eagles
Jimmy 23"
-
I suspect JFB will come back around once he retires. I suspect he uses a me-against-the-world / abandonment mentality to motivate himself. If I were him, I’d probably be having an internal dialogue about how no one respected him at his former stops and how he needs to prove them all wrong. Great competitors like Jimmy need that type of stuff, especially once they get close to the mountaintop.
-
As for former Warriors who excelled in da Association, Butler's on Mt. Rushmore with Wade, Lucas, and Chones, aina?
-
I don't care whether it's basketball or industry, I respect the people who work harder, practice more, try harder, never give up and get results because of that approach.
I also find that these type of people have an "edge".
That's the best part of them. If you can't enjoy it or at least respect it then you're probably not one of the ones working harder, practicing more, trying harder, etc.
And yes, this is about life, not basketball.

I have no idea what’s behind the rift between Jimmy and MU, but did you ever consider for even a moment that Marquette might bear some of the responsibility? Our alma mater isn’t perfect.
Or maybe he reads Scoop and and tired of the libelous BS spewed by bias on a regular basis.
Nothing I’ve seen from JFB suggests he’s a dick. What I do see I find admirable. I hope he and MU can figure things out, but I’ll continue to support both. Choosing who’s right or wrong in a divorce without knowing all the details is a fool’s errand.
-
I definitely find myself pulling for Butler. What he is doing is pretty historic. Miami has their second MU legend in the last 20 years.
I don’t think the reason for his absence around MU is due to any sinister or unforgivable reason. If it was, I would doubt that MU would be publicly supporting him like they are on social media. After he dropped 50+ on the bucks, they tweeted “legendary.” They regularly post about him on Instagram with the latest post being less than 24 hours ago. Wade obviously didn’t get the memo as he said recently “something about when those Marquette boys put on heat jerseys.”
Since nobody is really offering much info on why Butler doesn’t hang around MU, I’ll take a wild stab at the reason. I think it’s primarily due to a clash with some of his former teammates. Lots of competitiveness from that group and wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t the best of buds now. I have no inside info but I’d think it’s something along those lines.

I never said Marquette was perfect. But comparing it to a divorce is just silly. If he's going to publicly crap on where I came from when he comes to Milwaukee, my choice is to not cheer for him. I won't cheer against him, nor will I hold it against those that do, but his "get me the F out of here" felt very personal to me. If his response is F Marquette (which is exactly how I took that) then my response is in kind.
-
MU social media has been on a 24/7 Jimmy Love Fest cruise for two weeks now.
Brew you fired Wojo, can’t you get MU in line and not promote a player that hates them so much?
-
but his "get me the F out of here" felt very personal to me.
Omg, save the drama.
The 7 years of Wojo and everything that came with it were far more offensive than this.

For the record, except for people really paying attention, nobody knows much of that. Whatever his beef is, he’s been pretty quiet about it. We’re all assuming he’s got a problem with MU based on things he’s done and said. But the fact that we have to assume - correctly, I think - just shows it’s pretty low key. He’s never, to my knowledge publicly said anything negative about Marquette.

If you want to get respect, you have to give respect. Jimmy is incapable of that. When he's grown up enough to earn respect again, I'll be happy to give it.
If your preference is to cheer for someone that actively disrespects you, you've got a lot of company.
-
Guys that graduate and are All-Americans while at Marquette and proudly rep the university get crapped on. Jimmy openly craps on the university and Milwaukee and you’re a snowflake for having a problem with that.
Huh
-
Induct him into the MU hall of fame which obliviously means an invite back to campus and probably a halftime moment to honor him. If he declines/rejects the offer then the beef is real. If he accepts then the beef is squashed
Either way, he deserves it and has deserved it for a while

I don’t think his statement had anything to do with Marquette. His dispute with MU has been pretty low-key IMO.

D Wade... didn't have time for marquette at his peak... He wasn't as anti as butler appears, but people change. They grow up. They reflect more
If Butler is still as anti-MU as he appears to be right now in retirement. I'll probably stop being as for him as i am.
I agree with the comment above this, post his retirement, induct him into the MU hall of fame, invite back to campus and give him a moment to reflect and honor how fair he has come.
Jimmy is busy winning a championship right now.
-
Marquette Basketball has posted 8 times THIS week about Jimmy.
Dwyane Wade has congratulated Jimmy.
But when Lens & Lenny do it we’re disrespecting the team and the University?
Ok. Got it.
-
Jimmy Butler is one of those very few players that creates any mental edge he can to tap deeper into his competitiveness. It’s easy to understand the MJ comparisons in that respect. I don’t find it surprising that he’d roll into MKE for a playoff series and protect his “me against the world” attitude. He’s not interested in feel-good college reunions while he’s seeking a to knock off the #1 seed. He’s interested in feeling like a supervillain in a hostile environment.
I’m sure there’s some real or perceived slight that’s fueling all that. But, personally, none of that makes me like Jimmy any less. He is integral to this chapter of mubb history and I’m a heat fan until he’s done.
-
The beef is recent and real. I’m sure it will eventually be fixed.
To confirm, are you and brew referring to some inside info that you aren’t revealing? Or just the MSOE shootaround and comments at Fiserv?
-
I honestly wouldn’t know about a beef if not for those on this board, other than Jimmy being conspicuously absent when the Heat are in town. I don’t know of any comments he’s made.
Oh well. He’s not obligated to promote MU. It’s fun to see him do well in my opinion.
-

An insider on another board posted what he believed to be the source of the beef. Brew is also a member of that board. If it’s true, it’s recent and kind of silly..but imo easily solved in the off season.

JFB has become one of my all time favorite MU players. Doc mentioned the MU NBA Mt. Rushmore and I think Butler has surpassed Lucas to be the second best MU NBA player.

I remember Al McGuire joking "You know how you can tell if a guy is a Notre Dame alumni? He'll pick his nose just to show off his class ring." Jimmy doesn't do that. He's busy. Leave him alone.

DWade came back to have his number retired 7 months after he was named Finals MVP. He also came to Midnight Madness (granted during the lockout), right before he won his 2nd championship.

He came back to Madness a time before that. I believe during the Shumpert recruitment.

I’m trying to think of reasons for this beef. I can’t think of any, that would not make Marquette look incompetent.

He’s your greatest marketing tool at this moment.

Which is fine. You can still use him as a marketing tool. He’s just not going to be proactive about it. He’s not saying anything against MU. Just let it play out.
-
I for one would love this issue to be resolved.
The last thing I want, is for him to win finals mvp, and have Tyler Junior College get all the attention during his media run.
Especially, if it’s over him being mad because his number is not retired and/or he’s not in the MU HOF.
I have no idea why he’s mad at the university. He’s clearly pissed.
You say “let it play out”. Is it an easy to resolve situation? Like, if his reasoning is anything remotely close to a jersey retirement or something… oh man.
Something like that would be grossly negligent in my eyes. Players with the professional success/marketability of Jimmy don’t come around often. If he wants something, fire the jet up and give him what he wants.

And if this secret beef sauce info came from Dodds premium well all I can say is LOL.

I’ve always supported all of the former MU guys at the next level and have felt very proud of all of their accomplishments.
It’s a great thing for the University when these guys succeed.
Marquette has given us all a lot and is a huge part of our lives, that’s why we are here. My loyalty however is to the university and its basketball program more than it is to its former stars.
In that sense, I agree with Brew and Rico.
Marquette, and coach Buzz Williams, gave a lot to Jimmy Butler in the trajectory of both his basketball career and overall life.
There’s no guarantee that he wouldn’t be who he is without Marquette and Buzz, but there’s also no saying that he would have accomplish everything he has without the opportunity he got at Marquette.
So, I think there needs to be a mutual respect and admiration that goes above and beyond any petty trife. I don’t know if the disagreement is petty, and what seems petty to me might not be to JFB or MU, but it’s hard for me to respect those that dump on previous opportunity giving people and or establishments in any walk of life.
If you really feel slighted, you walk away with the hurt and try to once again extend an olive branch in a new unit of time.
All that said, there was a time where some of the MU faithful (perhaps even to this day) spoke negatively of DWade because he “changed, became a primadonna, etc etc.” That was never and will never be me.
In the same token, what Jimmy does in his personal time is his prerogative, outside of illegal and immoral things that harm others and make a person a pos.
If those accounts are true and come out as true I just won’t support him anymore. If he openly begins bashing Marquette the same.
He won’t care, he won’t be looking for our respect if that becomes the case.
On the purely basketball side of things, I’ve said for a while that I don’t think I’ve seen a basketball player improve year after year the way JFB has.
What he was in year 1 at Marquette, to year two, and then again year 1 in the NBA to year two and so on is remarkable and he should be proud.
He should also be proud of where he came from and bury any hatchet that he feels he needs to sharpen.

I for one would love this issue to be resolved.
The last thing I want, is for him to win finals mvp, and have Tyler Junior College get all the attention during his media run.
Especially, if it’s over him being mad because his number is not retired and/or he’s not in the MU HOF.
I have no idea why he’s mad at the university. He’s clearly pissed.
You say “let it play out”. Is it an easy to resolve situation? Like, if his reasoning is anything remotely close to a jersey retirement or something… oh man.
Something like that would be grossly negligent in my eyes. Players with the professional success/marketability of Jimmy don’t come around often. If he wants something, fire the jet up and give him what he wants.
I think you are way exaggerating how important Jimmy would be with a ring to MUBB.
Anyway IMO from what I understand it has nothing to do with a number retirement or HOF invite.

I think you are overestimating how much of a bump MU recruiting would get from Jimmy winning a title. It’s not like he’s going to be on the podium in a Tyler JC shirt.
As long as Shaka capitalized on it, I don’t think it’s a major deal.
Also, I don’t think a beef automatically means MU did something wrong. Like Buzz, Jimmy could take anything he deems a slight and use it to drive him. Whether real or not.
-
I understand there should be a mutually binding respect between Jimmy and MU.
That’s completely fair.
And I’m not saying TJC is going to have some massive success because of Jimmy name dropping them. I’m not even saying Jimmy marketing MU would give us a recruiting win.
However, if the argument is petty, I don’t understand why MU wouldn’t budge to his wants or desires. I just believe, that having Jimmy associated with Marquette, makes the program better.
But, in all honesty (for anybody who has any knowledge or heard any rumor of the beef) would Marquette look stupid if the feud was made public? People keep saying it’d be easy to be resolved. To that, I guess I don’t understand why it isn’t already then.

Because if what I understand is true, it’s not about “giving” him anything. He doesn’t want something. It’s about something MUBB did that he didn’t like and probably just needs to be talked out.
-
I just don’t understand how that conversation hasn’t happened. Like if what you’ve heard is true, and Marquette knew he was pissed, resolve it.
Let alone, if it could have reasonably assumed, said act could piss jimmy off, don’t do it. Maybe consult him. Idk.
I just have a hard time comprehending how you don’t appease to an alumn like Jimmy. I would think having a strong relationship with him, would be a top priority aside from the on the court efforts.
Also, did this beer start recently as in the past 2 years?
I don’t know the specifics, and doubt I ever will. But, this bothers me.
-
My speculation: I believe Butler and Buzz Williams are still pretty
close and any issues Jimmy has with MU revolve around Buzz. I also predict that at some point in the future Shaka will have Butler back for an MU appearance.

Butler was involved with the program under Wojo.

More recently than that. And why do you think the answer has to be to “appease” Butler?
-
Because with no information as to why this occurred, all I know is jimmy holds a grudge towards MU.
If he just fell out of love for the program that’s one thing.
However, the way I see it is a guy who wore his MUBB jersey on Jimmy Kimmel and at D-Wade’s Bulls presser, just falls out of love for the program. He’s also been on campus in the past 5 years for a non-bball related events, and wore Marquette themed shoes when he played in Milwaukee.
But I have no idea of the rumor you talk about. I’m just going off my chain of events.
-
I don’t think he’d just stop supporting—> hate his alma matter he recently supported, without a valid reason.
-
As I said, it will likely work itself out. I wouldn’t worry about it.
-
I really hope so. I honestly was hoping we’d see 33 in the rafters.
But, he seems so hellbent on wanting nothing to do with Marquette, that I’m not holding out hope haha.
Was this act that pissed him off something we could have seen if we paid attention, or was it all behind the scenes things?
-
Sumwon heer must no Jimmy. Just ax 'im, hey?

Which people (other than bias) at Marquette are you talking about?
-
What the hell are you people talking about here? Jimmy is pissed at MU? Really? Quit this crap. Or tell me what he said. I'm tired of this and the insinuations that Jimmy is somehow dissing MU. Show me. Show me something. What did he do? What did he say? Or go back to watching your soap operas, or what ever. How often do you go to your high school reunion? Jeeze. Give it a rest. Give me a frickin' break.

bias is a very unique poster. He is kind of a lone wolf on many topics. That said, he sure appears to be confident on insider info on the JFB/MU issue.

I think it has more to do with JFB’s time at Marquette. The negative Buzz Tribune stuff and JFB *may be related
-
I read the thread. Not to be redundant here but what did he say to offend Marquette? He was given an opportunity to play for MU. Did that turn him into an great NBA player. Or did he motivate himself? He took advantage of it. I guess some people would want to use him as a recruiting tool. That's understandable. Who better could do that, if not Dwade? Why tear down a cherished part of our history to do what? Trash a guy's allegiance to a Marquette? Some of you guys have an axe to grind here and I don't know why? And I don't care. It's your problem. It's not mine.

He’s trashing his allegiance to Marquette by claiming his JC as his Alma mater and saying get me out of Milwaukee. This isn’t a one-way street. He’s purposely avoiding Marquette, not vice versa
-
Because if what I understand is true, it’s not about “giving” him anything. He doesn’t want something. It’s about something MUBB did that he didn’t like and probably just needs to be talked out.
I'll never understand why posters claim to know something, but then don't post it? I mean FFS just say "the rumor is..."
Whatever this is, its got nothing to do with "withoubias" allegations. They (withoutbias) has had an issue with Jimmy for awhile.

Jimmy must be a complicated fella. I loved watching him at MU though.
-
I have no idea what Marky Mark is like now, but he has a pretty disgusting history:
https://time.com/3623630/mark-wahlberg-pardon/
Sounds like he made some very regrettable even “disgusting” decisions when he was a teenager and young adult. We’re all stupid when we are young and many times a product of our environment. Seems like he has matured and become more without bias like as he has gotten older.
-

Oh, the humanity…..
-
Oh, the humanity…..
Agree. I am no insider, but people seem to have their panties in a bunch because Jimmy had to create an edge to get motivated. Seems to be much ado about nothing
-
I guess I don’t get the whole “creating an edge” thing. He has to go out of his way to more or less say “I don’t identify with MU at all” because MU is in the same city as the professional team he’s playing against? And this has been a long play and he won’t come back to MU as a result?
-
Marquette is at 15 posts about Jimmy since last week.
We’re definitely fighting.

Again, I'm hesitant to label this as "stupid when young". All teenagers are stupid at times. Very few beat a man to the point that they are charged with attempted murder while calling their victim racial ephitats. And that's only one of three episodes of known racially charged acts of violence.
It's fine to give someone a second chance or say that you believe that they've matured for the better. But you can do it without minimizing their past transgressions
-
I'll be honest, the reasons don't matter. For awhile, Jimmy distanced himself from Marquette, whatever. But when you come into our house and crap on the floor, that's a bit different.
Clearly Marquette is trying to repair the breech. Jimmy is family. If Jimmy cleans up his crap and wants to be a civilized part of the family, cool. I'm all in. But as long as he's going to be the floor pooper, I'm not rooting for him. Not rooting against him either, but I'm definitely moving to the indifferent camp until he accepts the olive branch.
-
People are entitled to cheer for whomever they’d like. That’s how sports works.
But if you ain’t cheering for JFB this playoff, you’re depriving yourself of a whole lot of joy watching an MU legend at his peak. All based on some perceived feud you aren’t a party to.

We look at family differently. I still cheer for mine during periods that are less than perfect. Putting conditions on my support seems wrong, especially when I don’t have any idea what or who caused the riff.

Oh I’m not totally dismissing it. But people are complete idiots when they are young and have zero perspective on the world other than their own neighborhood. And when you are influenced by racism as a child to the degree which he probably was it’s hard to get out of and he seems to have done this despite multiple terrible decisions. His talent and fame brought him to places and gave him opportunities that allowed him to see things differently. Not unlike many people of other backgrounds but similar insular upbringings.
What he did was terrible. Not dismissing it. Just offering perspective.
-
I think context would be very important. I didn’t like the things said in his you tube, or the fact he doesn’t work out on campus.
He’s pissed at MU, clearly. I don’t know if it’s confirmed Marquette is trying to repair what’s broken, or not.
But, Jimmy went to MU. Was a great ambassador up until recently (not sure when). And he feels wronged. I don’t think it’s crazy for someone to act up a bit, when someone wrongs them.
Like if I ever learned Jimmy had no reason to be upset, and he just stopped liking Marquette, my opinion would change slightly. But, if Marquette is at fault, I’m not blaming Jimmy whatsoever.
Until then, I’ll be glued to the tv watch 22.
-
So Jimmy has gone a little crazy. A little Ron Artest stupidness every once in awhile. Maybe when he gets older he’ll mature.
-

Why not? Who cares?

Correct. When Theo told MU fans to support BLM or quit rooting for MU I thought he was out of line but I didn’t stop cheering for MU or for him. Just because a guy isn’t your favorite nephew doesn’t mean you don’t wish them success.

Maybe the people who are dumping on Jimmy should reflect a little on his story and what he’s overcome. No Dad, Mom with alcohol/drug problems. She kicks him out of the house his junior year and he couch surfs at friend’s houses until one of the Moms figures things out and has him move in. He has the grades and test scores to play D1 but with no AAU exposure has no offers. So it’s JC one year before coming to MU. Gets off to a slow start (some experts on Scoop call him a wasted scholarship) but goes on to become a star at MU. Senior Day the family who “adopted” him when he was a homeless 16 year old comes in place of his parents. He graduates, becomes a first round draft choice, an NBA star and is headed for the Hall of Fame. A few talented, less than 100% effort teammates have problems with him, but the most respected coaches (Thibs, Spo) and GM (Riley) in the NBA love him and sing his praises as a player and a leader.
It’s an amazing story, the basketball version of “The Blind Side”. You don’t have to be a Marquette fan or even a basketball fan to be a Jimmy Butler fan. The obstacles he’s overcome, the mountains he’s climbed - remarkable.
Does he have abandonment issues that go back to childhood? Sure, but I think it’s understandable. For some reason none of us know he feels MU has done just that and for now he’s responded in kind. I hope they work things out. But either way, just as it’s in my blood to root for MU, so it is to root for JFB. To not seems petty to me.

It is in my blood to root for MU. Which is exactly why I cannot currently root for JFB. It isn't pettiness, it's a logical disconnect. He wants to very publicly get it out there that he wants nothing to do with Marquette. Until he does, I'll withhold my cheers. I'm sure it won't bother him in the least.

So nobody knows what Jimmy’s beef is, but you’ll provide us the reason for the unknown beef through a psychoanalysis of a guy you’ve never met.
Thank you for your service.
Butler is clearly a d!ck, but it’s a large part of why the Heat are in their 3rd conference finals in 4 years.
-
I guess I don’t know how Jimmy has made this public. The Tyler JC comment seems to be getting caught on a hot mic after a series wrapped up. I doubt anyone other than a few MU message board posters really notice.
I believe the paid board is Brewcityball.com (mods, feel free to delete if that’s not something that should be posted here).
-
So I’m of the belief, that if he wants to publicly make it know he has no affection towards MU, something really set him off.
If what I’m understanding from the those in this thread who are in the “know”, Jimmy’s position is from a logical viewpoint.
If that’s the case, I have no problem siding with Jimmy over MU. I grew up during his time at MU. First time I had a true understanding of basketball. And it’s been amazing to see someone you follow very closely, turn into a superstar professionally.
I love MU to death. Grew up in a Marquette family, and am now an alumn.
But, if Marquette gave Jimmy a reason to be upset, I’m simply going to side with Jimmy. Again, love Marquette. But I’m not gonna stop cheering for someone, that helped form my love for hoops, because my alma matter made a mistake.
Neither side is perfect, but it seems Marquette clearly did something that could set someone off.
I would love to have access to said site where y’all got the information from. I’m more than happy to pay the money. I’m willing to admit, “I DO CARE”.
-
I never said Jimmy is being logical. I understand why he is irked at Marquette. But it’s kind of silly.
That is if what’s been speculated is accurate. It could be something else entirely.
-
I appreciate the update(s) and some context.
I’m now at the point of wondering, if there is a way I can get the info of which you heard. Not saying you have to tell, but rather where I find the info and how much the cost is.

I'm not dumping on Jimmy. I'm pointing out that he came into Marquette's arena and disrespected my alma mater. That's not dumping, that's stating a fact. As long as he doesn't want to be in the fold, I'm also not going to give him my fan support.
Seems like you are too easily offended on someone else's behalf.

Yeah I don’t know how I’m dumping on him but sure.
I did find out who to go to if I need a therapist. If Lenny can diagnose Jimmy’s problems without having met him (who’s dumping on him again?), imagine what he could do sitting down with someone.
-
I imagine 98.5% of the basketball-watching public knows not a thing about Jimmy's beef with MU, nor do they care.
His success is great for MUBB, whether he likes it or not, so I hope he continues to shine.

Why can’t I know?
Because there literally is no story of JFB sh!tting on MU. I was told that someone high up at MU was actively rooting for the Bucks over Jimmy and the Heat. Therefore, Jimmy went MJ mode and created some anger. I dont see where he has said anything about Marquette, but rather Milwaukee.

I’m sorry. As someone from Wisconsin, and an Mu alumn. Cheering for the bucks, in a stakeholder position, is stupid. There is no allegiance there!

Cheering on the team in the same city is stupid? 🤔🤔🤔
-
I’m not saying cheering for the bucks is stupid. But for people to attack the MU Instagram/twitter page for Jimmys historic 1st round is egregious.
I understand holding info behind a payroll. I really do.
But if it’s not the payroll factor say that. It’s a confidential group, not a fee.
-
Jae and Wes are on the Bucks too. It’s not like they have no MU guys.
-
Again, I’m not saying picking sides is stupid.
-
I do think it was before the playoffs since Butler was noticeably absent from NMD with the Heat playing later that night.
-
Whatever the issue is, it is. I just don’t like when people say it’s behind a paywall and then don’t provide it when someone is willing to pay!
-
Yeah I don’t know how I’m dumping on him but sure.
Calling a guy a dick is dumping on him.
-
I did find out who to go to if I need a therapist. If Lenny can diagnose Jimmy’s problems without having met him (who’s dumping on him again?), imagine what he could do sitting down with someone.
Thanks, but putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 4 isn’t all that difficult for those of us educated by the Jesuits.
-
I'm not dumping on Jimmy. I'm pointing out that he came into Marquette's arena and disrespected my alma mater. That's not dumping, that's stating a fact. As long as he doesn't want to be in the fold, I'm also not going to give him my fan support.
Seems like you are too easily offended on someone else's behalf.
That's rich. ❄️❄️❄️

If there’s truth to MU supporting the Bucks over the Heat in the first round, Jimmy had every right to say what he did walking off Fiserv.

Marquette didn’t outright support the Bucks over the Heat in the playoffs. In fact they wished “good luck” to all alumni as they started.
Anyway it pre-dates the playoffs.
-

Yeah I’d say claiming a guy has abandonment issues based on having a beef with his alma mater is some weirder math than 2+2=4.
Calling a guy a dick is dumping on him.
Is it? My guess is Jimmy himself would call himself a dick, at least on the court. He challenges his teammates and makes sure the media knows it. He very publicly challenges his coach. He’s a d!ck when it comes to basketball, which is the only arena I know anything about him in. Just like MJ. And many other successful professional athletes.

You called him a dick without any qualifications. And without ever meeting him or talking to him your diagnosis is he thinks he’s a dick, too. Who’s playing shrink now?

Let's hope they fix the issue!

Yup, still you. Unless “dick” is a psychological diagnosis. Would be new to me, but you’re the psychiatrist here.

What Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat are doing in the NBA playoffs is already legendary and could become mythical if they go on to win the NBA Championship.
A play-in 8 seed led by a 33 year old veteran a touch past his prime takes 7 undrafted players to the NBA Title!!! Better yet a veteran super star with with a reputation for being hard on teammates and organizations who he didn't feel are committed to hard work and winning! While going on this run his team blows up every Las Vegas prediction model and embarrasses GM's across the league.
Not since King Leonidas kept a million man Persian Army at bay with just 300 Spartans has such an incredible fete played out.
The two most important things that shaped Jimmy Butler to being the man he is today was the family that took Jimmy in when the birth mother kicked him out of the house as a teen. The 2nd was Marquette and Buzz. During the Wojo era Marquette became soft and embarrassing but under Crean, Buzz and now Shaka, Marquette is a program where you go to work very hard both on the basketball court and in the class room. The bar is set very high and not lowered for anyone.
Once again this attached video is also legendary with how many less heralded players, as far as high school recruiting rankings go, ended up playing on NBA rosters at one point in their post Marquette careers. Around the 4:20 mark we even get a touch of Jimmy Butler's now notorious temper with teammates, something Derrick Rose encountered from Jimmy when he became a prima donna and went from NBA Superstar to NBA Bust.
https://youtu.be/uC7QEOa_MCo
Go Jimmy! Keep shocking the world and making us proud! Marquette, Where Legends are Born!
I am fine with the 30 for 30 so long as they include the legal issues he brought to the program. He is part of the beginnng of the end to the Buzz era.

Hey, I'm rooting for Jimmy and the Heat. Guilt free. They're beating the Celtics by 30. OH I see Boston just brought in Sam Hauser. Are you going to pull out your tampons and rag on him too? Seems only fitting. Who's next Markus because he shot too much or Otule because he only had one eye?

Wade sucks dick! So do the rest of the Prima Donna’s including Brew and Sultan… absolutely Pathetic…. Jimmy Butler is a MU grad like the rest of us and is branded. Time heals most wounds and Jimmy will be in the fold.
-
Maybe the people who are dumping on Jimmy should reflect a little on his story and what he’s overcome. No Dad, Mom with alcohol/drug problems. She kicks him out of the house his junior year and he couch surfs at friend’s houses until one of the Moms figures things out and has him move in.
Oh cmon now, we all know now the Jimmy is MJs son and his mom kicked him out only because the payments from Jordan stopped coming in.
I know it’s not true, but I am all aboard the Jimmy Butler is MJs done narrative.

I’ll add my two cents on supporting MU vs. a former mubb star. I personally don’t have unconditional loyalty to Marquette—the institution or the basketball program. I disagree with a TON of major, directional choices the university has made this past decade. Lord knows there’s been plenty to criticize on the basketball side during that period too.
That doesn’t mean I don’t still love MU or mubb. But when I hear one of the greatest pros in program history has (allegedly) disparaged his connection with the university, I don’t automatically feel offended. I wonder if his gripe is well-founded or something I’d relate to. If anything, I wonder why the university is failing to maintain a positive relationship with a critical alumnus. No matter who’s in the wrong, great leadership understands the importance of adapting to great talent. Look no further than the Miami Heat.

Yes. Sam sucks.
Sam doesn’t suck.

Surprised people have actual animosity toward the hausers and Jimmy b. Life is too short for that bs. They moved on. It happens. When they have time to reflect maybe they’ll want to embrace their time at MU again.
-
not angry at anything. joey was the leaker loser. years ago, joey would have been benched and advised to work thru his baby fat. wojo didn't have the balls to do the right thing allowing the tail to wag the dog
-
Personally, I think Jimmy disowning MU bc they put the Business School where the rec center should be and went against their own master plan and then cheaped out on the design is actually admirable.
I’m glad Jimmy is standing up for MU campus planning.
-
Sam doesn’t suck.
He saw it first.
Saw it so much he brought baby bro along to play with him.
-
Just about every major mumbb alum has been back for games, to speak to the team, etc. except for Jimmy. If they were so incompetent you’d think at least one other alum would take a stand with the guy and disown mumbb.
But hey. If you want to stop enjoying Shaka, Oso, Kolek, Kam, Stevie, etc. and forget guys like Novak, Wade, Diener, etc. because you don’t have blind loyalty and Jimmy thinks some non-issue is a personal attack on him, I say good on you.
MU doesn’t have to bow to Jimmy. He’s lumped in with the group of tough grinders to come out of MU whether he wants to be or not.

Butler probably doesn't need to win a title to be in the Hall. His stats already are better than numerous Hall of Famers, he's been All-NBA 5 times, he's in the all-time top 50 in numerous postseason categories.
If he retired tomorrow, he'd be a borderline pick ... but he ain't retiring tomorrow. He's in his prime right now, so he'll likely improve significantly on all of that. FWIW (probably not much), Basketball Reference gives him a 73% chance of being in the HoF.
But sure, if Jimmy wins Finals MVP, he'd be a lock for the Hall.

Self awareness is your blindspot in this thread brew.
I seem to recall you being pissed at Jimmy for saying crap at Fiserv.
-
I never said Marquette was perfect. But comparing it to a divorce is just silly. If he's going to publicly crap on where I came from when he comes to Milwaukee, my choice is to not cheer for him. I won't cheer against him, nor will I hold it against those that do, but his "get me the F out of here" felt very personal to me. If his response is F Marquette (which is exactly how I took that) then my response is in kind.
Bump.
-
As time goes on, I don’t think Butler was wrong during that practice in Minnesota.
Minnesota traded the wrong guy. Shoulda kept Jimmy and that whole second team.

Alright, here's my wild guess about Jimmy beefing with MU: When Shaka was hired he had the university take down all of the individual photos/accolades and put up team photos and accolades. I bet that tilted Jimmy, feeling like his alma mater was abandoning him.

If that’s the case, Jimmy never could have played with the Hausers and they played for Hall of Fame coaches after leaving Marquette.
-
I’ve started to look at this in the sense, that jimmy wouldn’t be mad/petty if he didn’t respect the university in the slightest bit. However, there seems to be very orchestrated moves on his part, that only those who closely pay attention to MU, could decipher- he’s definitely sent a message. I would have to assume the university/athletic department is well aware that people have begun to notice the rift.
We’ll see what the university does. But, with D-Wade playing an important role in the success of both Jimmy and MU, which he still has vested interest in both, I’d have a hard time seeing this getting out of hand/not fixed.

Why? Talking about Marquettes biggest current NBA star having a possible feud with our Alma mater isn’t worthy of discussion?
If Jimmy didn’t want it to be known that he is dissatisfied in some way he wouldn’t make snarky comments.
If Marquette didn’t want to support him for XYZ reason they wouldn’t be supporting him on the socials.
Sometimes a fanbase discussing the elephant in the room is one of the best ways to bring attention to an issue and get it repaired or resolved.
A few years back our fanbase booed a coach a home games. They got louder and louder of their dissatisfaction and by all accounts it had an affect on the University to move on and now we have Coach Smart.
I know it’s not the same, and I was a supporter of Coach Wojo just like I am of all Marquette coaches, and even defended him until the day he was canned (like I did with Buzz), but I’ll gladly admit that I was wrong because Shaka was an amazing move for Marquette.
Don’t mean to bring up the former coach again, my main point is that sometimes things we don’t love to talk about are worth discussing.

Love this powerful video that encapsulates Jimmy while being placed to the music of Eminem.
He had a hard life. Finally got a late growth spurt. A family took him in which kept him from completely going off the rails when he was kicked out of the house by his mother. Came to Marquette from a Juco as a skinny 6'7 kid with raw talent and the willingness to work. Marquette showed him the way and he took it from there.
Last pick in the 1st Round. Starts with limited minutes as a defensive specialist his first couple years on Derick Rose's team. Each year he keeps coming and coming with a deep burning desire and the accompanying work ethic his stay at Marquette taught him.
Turned down long-term contracts only to get max contracts later. Derick Rose's team becomes Jimmy Butler's team.
Lots of money made, Olympic gold medal, All-Star Appearances. Yet he's never satisfied and at 33 he takes a team no one took serious all the way to the NBA Finals. This man is an inspiration to all of us! So proud to call him a fellow alumni of Marquette!

Maybe one where I pretend to hand him a hard earned trophy and he refuses to take it because he's way too locked in and competitive to accept that trophy when there's a bigger trophy out there.
Imagine if only Nikola Jokic would've stayed locked in on a title rather than celebrating winning a meaningless Conference Finals.
Nobody who ever celebrates winning a semifinal has ever won a title. Disrupts your focus way too much.
What a try hard.

Agreed. Only Jimmy Butler is too cool to celebrate that.

No doubt that JFB was being a touch dramatic not holding the conference trophy but that mind set is what drives him to succeed and it doesn’t bother the vast majority of fans.

Entire teams in some sports don’t touch the conference title trophy (NHL for example) but keep reaching!!!
I hope you have a great bottle of Cooks to douse yourself with when the Nugs wrap it up this week

Most people think it was a pretty badass answer "I'll hold the next one".

Well … that’s not true, either. Extreme positions from either “side” are almost always seriously flawed.
Not sure why most of this stuff gets your undies in such a bundle … but just as Jimmy will be Jimmy, you be you.

Maybe one where I pretend to hand him a hard earned trophy and he refuses to take it because he's way too locked in and competitive to accept that trophy when there's a bigger trophy out there.
Imagine if only Nikola Jokic would've stayed locked in on a title rather than celebrating winning a meaningless Conference Finals.
Nobody who ever celebrates winning a semifinal has ever won a title. Disrupts your focus way too much.
What a try hard.
You don't watch many other sports I take it?

Jimmy being Jimmy = an incredible, out of nowhere story that will end with Jimmy in the basketball Hall of Fame.
bias being bias = a sad story of basketball know nothing with a serious case of Jimmy envy that will end with a whimper.

I’ll let you have your feud with him. It’s not mine.
He’s a character. We’ve got a lot them on Scoop!

Uh, no one said it was your feud. But make it about yourself, umpshow.

MY feud? And he’s a “character”? OK.

Would’ve been pretty badass had he not gone 5/18 in a win or go home game, including a turnover down 1 inside 30 seconds left and a forced 3 with 15 seconds left.
Maybe Jokic will let Jimmy hold the trophy.

Would be pretty badass if you'd go 1 for 700 by making your next post here something of value.

Butler didn't have a great Finals and, except for a brief stretch tonight, had a really bad Game 5. But the Heat wouldn't have even sniffed the Finals had Butler not been sensational in earlier rounds, game after game after game.
He's one of many great players to have never won a title. Maybe he'll do it next season, or maybe -- like Malone, Stockton, Barkley, Ewing, Gervin, Paul, etc etc etc -- he never will.

Drafted during a Taco Bell commercial to becoming a Hall of Famer, MVP and NBA champ. Indeed, a 30 for 30 has unfolded

Indeed... Jimmy is an inspiration to us all. Too bad he came up short in winning it all but an unbelievable run regardless!

I was talking about Jokic. What an inspiration. MVP and champion

My only quibble with Jokic is his red nose.

As a fellow Serb, I am very happy for Jokic. He is a helluva player and fun to watch.

Jokic can't be a Serb, not enough facial hair.

Looks like Jimmy put his friend through a workout to prove a point about regular people’s athletic skills, but his friend is wearing MU shorts. MU is back for Jimmy maybe?

Nah, probably picked up the shorts outta JFB's trash, aina?
