Jimmy Butler Smirking At Julius Randle Already Becoming Miami Heat's Next Popular Internet Meme
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler is often the most-talked about player on social media after games.
Wednesday night was no exception.
After the Heat defeated New York, Butler flooded the Internet after he was caught smirking at Knicks forward Julius Randle. The Heat official Twitter accounted posted the photo, drawing plenty reaction from the fan base.
That prompted many fans who were watching from home to post the photo in complete context. It was actually Butler looking directly at Randle
Butler finished with 35 points, helping the Heat basically tie the Brooklyn Nets for the No. 6 spots in the Eastern Conference standings. Still, the Nets own the tiebreaker so the Heat have to finish with a better record.
Butler's performance was likely a reaction to Randle coming off a 57-point performance earlier this week against the Chicago Bulls. Randle only finished with 15 points after averaging 33 in his two previous games against the Heat.
“Honestly, it’s really winning time now,” Butler said. “I know I can get my guys involved.”
