The NBA fans didn’t mince words and brutally trolled Golden State Warriors superstar Jimmy Butler for his poor show against his former team Miami Heat. Butler traveled to Miami for the first time since his trade on Tuesday, March 25. However, it was definitely not the kind of “revenge game” that the six-time NBA All-Star would have wanted. The sixth-seeded Warriors suffered an embarrassing 112-86 loss to the lower-seeded Miami.

Butler finished with 11 points, six rebounds and two assists in his 28 minutes stay on the court. Needless to say, fans were left disappointed. They took to social media to troll the former Miami star for his poor show in the highly-anticipated fixture.
