A video has gone viral showing Jimmy Butler getting pressed by a man who said he lost a prop bet in which the Golden State Warriors star needed to score 30 points in a game.
Butler was walking around the streets of New Orleans when the bettor started hurling insults at the six-time NBA All-Star from his car.
"Green apple looking ahh," the bettor said, commenting on Butler's outfit. "Stupid big ahh. Timbs on. Jimmy Butler, man. They don't give a fuck you in their city. Look at him."
With a cup of coffee in one hand and his phone in the other, Butler turned around and walked up to the car but did not fully engage with the disgruntled bettor.
The man continued shouting at Butler, saying he apparently could have won $30,000 on a $3,000 bet if the Warriors star scored at least 30 points.
"Bro, I put $3,000 to win 30. Why you ain't have 30 points?" he asked. "Jimmy Butler, why you didn't have the 30 points? You were supposed to go over, bitch. You work for Vegas? You work for Vegas?"
Based on Butler's numbers this season, the bet was quite risky. The forward has scored over 30 points only once, and that happened in the season opener. He's averaging 19.1 points per game this season and 18.3 points per game throughout his 15-year NBA career.
Butler has not addressed the confrontation.
