Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler joins “Warriors Postgame Live” to break down his debut game following Golden State’s 132-111 win over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night at United Center.
Playing with Steph Curry absolutely has its advantages, as Jimmy Butler learned firsthand in the Warriors’ 132-111 win over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday at United Center.
Butler not just profited from Curry’s presence on the court, scoring 25 points in his Golden State debut, yet had the option to pause for a minute and partake in the show while off of it during spurts on the Warriors bench.
The most current Warriors star joined NBC Sports Bay Area’s “Warriors Postgame Live” after the game, where he was asked what it resembled to play close by Curry.
“It’s enjoyable to watch at whatever point I was very depleted, gasping for air over here on the bench,” Butler told Bonta Hill, Chris Mullin, and Festus Ezeli. “Yet, just to play with him, how brilliant he is, the way unselfish he is, and the way that he makes the most unbelievable shots, and he believes his teammates should be perfect. There’s nothing similar to it.”
It’s been a whirlwind of a week for Butler, who was traded from the Miami Heat to Golden State on Wednesday before Thursday’s NBA trade deadline and afterward went with his new team to Los Angeles for their game against the Lakers prior to debuting on Saturday in Chicago.
Luckily for the 35-year-old, he ought to have no issues keeping his energy up as a coffee aficionado and owner of Big Face Coffee, a business he began in the NBA playoff bubble in 2020.
Butler imagines a lot of discussions with Curry over a cup of coffee in the coming days.
“A lot of coffee,” Butler told Hill, Mullin, and Ezeli when asked how much coffee he drank this week. “Me and Steph got a great deal of coffee to move past these next couple of days. I’m energized and very happy to be here, and in the event that you can’t tell, I’m extremely euphoric.”
Butler and the Warriors’ road trip through the chilly Midwest goes on with a matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday at Fiserv Forum.
