Late last night in the Chicago Bulls 93-88 road win over the Portland Trail Blazers, there was a little bit of an interesting kerfuffle. Blazers big man Mason Plumlee put a shoulder into Jimmy Butler, and when Butler hit the ground, he stuck out his legs to trip Plumlee, but it was only Butler who got a technical. They got up and argued and Butler even put a head into Plumlee’s chest.
After a review, Butler got the tech while Plumlee only got a Flagrant 1. After the game, Butler seemed more unhappy about the mandatory fine he’ll face than the actual play itself. Now Butler wants Plumlee to pay his fine, and he has an idea of where to send the bill, even if it might not be the right address.
Following from Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times.
“Yeah, he cost me $2,500. I’m going to ask him to pay me back, and I’m not playing. I’m going to ask, nicely. Yeah, I’m going to get that.”
So will it be in letter form?
“I’m going to tell my agent to e-mail or something,” Butler added, before taking one last shot at Plumlee, who attended college at Duke. “I know it’s like [email protected] or something.”
Personally, as a UNC Tar Heels fan, this is awesome.
One a non-biased note, this is still awesome. Jimmy Butler is really not shy about saying what he feels whether it’s about his teammates or even other NBA players. Let’s see if Jimmy will get Plumlee’s e-mail address because ‘[email protected]’ is an available e-mail address, for now.
