It's either Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler is good at trolling or he knows something the public doesn't. 

A video recently surfaced of Butler playing basketball on an outdoor court during his tour in China. After he makes a jumpshot, Butler makes his way toward the exit. Before leaving, he taps his wrist with one finger. 

The gesture is the same used by Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard, also known as "Dame Time." The video can be seen here

The Heat have been in talks with the Trail Blazers about trading for Lillard all season. A seven-time All-Star, Lillard would make the among the top contenders for the NBA championship because of a core that also includes Butler and center Bam Adebayo. Discussion have since stalled but Butler's move just may mean something is on the horizon. 

Stay tuned.
