No.  He hasn't played basketball in any meaningful way in 5 years.

Ex-Buck Yi Jianlian will be playing!

Who was the idiot GM who picked him?  Between him and Joe Alexander, ouch, and maybe Rashard Vaughn, not sure he is quick enough or good enough.

10 - Sanders
09 - Jennings
08 - Alexander
07 - Yi
06 - no first round pick
05 - Bogut (at 1 overall)
04 - no first round pick
03 - Ford
02 - Hasslip
01 - no first round pick
00 - Collier

Hey dunks. 

Have you heard any reports from SF this weekend?

[Skatastrophy]

I'm watching the BBC stream of the USA v China game. We just got a Marquette mention when the announcer walked the audience through JFB's backstory.

We've gone international, boys!

What - American TV isn't good enough for you?

BBC has no commercials, and they show the full games with minimal chit chat. American TV is way behind the times!

We are up by 44. I wonder how many points Vegas was giving?

Ox would be a force in China too.

SMH - i came here for the "we accidentally went to a brothel" commentary.

I was surprised, but the NBC broadcast only had commercials between quarters.  Thanks McDonalds!

I would be a force in China.  A fifth of the worlds population and that's the best they can come up with???

JFB's next game is Monday at 5 CST against Venezuela. NBCSP

Curious if anyone remembers exactly how the nickname JFB came about.  Was it his senior year?

[4everwarriors]

My hommie, F*ckin', couldn't spell or pronounce Jimmy's middle name. So, he gave him one that he was familiar with, hey?

ZFB gave him the name in Jimmy's nickname thread. Let's use the wayback machine!

First ever mention of Jimmy F*cking Butler on muscoop. Also first mention of JFB: http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=16621.msg161756#msg161756

Henry Sugar was an early advocate, when everyone else was trying to get "The Jimmy" to stick

I seem to remember this was then solidified as he started to hit a string of game winning shots in just a few short weeks from this thread.
