Miami Heat’s Jimmy Butler Trolls Boston Celtics on Social Media
Despite being sidelined due to injury, Miami Heat’s star player Jimmy Butler took to Instagram to poke fun at the top-seeded Boston Celtics after the Heat leveled the series at one win apiece.
Background
Jimmy Butler, a key player for the Miami Heat, has been out of the Eastern Conference first-round series due to a right MCL injury sustained during a play-in tournament game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Social Media Banter
Butler posted a photo on Instagram with his face superimposed on Jaylen Brown’s body along with a quote from Brown during the 2023 Eastern Conference finals. Brown had famously said, “Don’t let us get one,” implying that one win for the Heat would lead to a series victory. The Celtics, however, managed to win three straight games before Miami emerged victorious in Game 7.
After the Heat’s recent victory in Game 2 against the Celtics, Butler humorously captioned his post with, “Feeling cute, might delete later. Sikeeeee I ain’t deleting (it).” This lighthearted jab at the Celtics showcases Butler’s playful spirit even off the court.
Looking Ahead
With Game 3 scheduled to take place in Miami, Butler’s absence on the court is felt by the Heat. However, his presence on social media keeps the team’s spirits high as they aim to continue their success in the series.
