Jimmy Butler’s ESPN Interview Gave Us The Latest In A Long Line Of Great Butler Reaction GIFs


ESPN

Jimmy Butler is a very serious athlete, but at the same time, he can have some very goofy moments.

Some players in the NBA are just naturally GIFable, as in they do something and it’s really easy to make a reaction gif out of them. Butler, in particular, is one of the best at these. Ever since his days in Chicago he’s been showing up in gifs across the internet with his reactions from the bench, during a game, or in street clothes.

On Wednesday, Butler sat down with ESPN’s Rachel Nichols for an interview about a tirade he went on during practice. The interview had Butler speak about his relationship with Karl-Anthony Towns as well as the honesty he shows with his teammates. The interview also gave us yet another fantastic gif moment with Butler.


Look at those eyes. They’re giving you the look of someone that is very disappointed with what you just told him.

Those with a good memory of previous Jimmy Butler moments might recognize this face a little bit.

Of course, Butler has been in these kinds of moments his entire career.

Although if you want my personal favorite it has to be his reaction to a play gone wrong while he was playing for the Timberwolves.

There’s also this gem from when he was injured last year and handed a stat sheet on the bench.

It’s a shame, but Butler didn’t get much time to make his gifability known while playing for Minnesota. If he gets his wish then he probably won’t spend another season in that jersey.
