Should Jimmy Butler be penalized for not playing and using that "I'm tired" excuse. He made the decision as soon as being selected and was there to collect the check. In this case, he took an easy 25 k.

Fellow nba player, Lou Williams, questions his decision.

I think he could have passed his spot to someone else but was greedy and indifferent of the fans. Therefore, they should fine him 25k to mitigate his all star check to zero.

I disagree. If he knew that he was going to be tired, then why not pass the spot to someone else?

it’s difficult to know what his intent was entering the weekend


You might be right, I don't know. But I think it is an important element to the case.

It's my assumption. I think he is full of shit. But everyone know the way thibs coach and on that basis, it's very diffcult to take his word as fact. It seems too suspicious.

I just seen the rumors. It does seem like he was hungover. Should he be penalized for indifference? Wtf, these players still not taking the all star game seriously? Has Jr Smith infected their minds?

no doubt that he is a great player. But this off court conduct is still bad and diminishes the quality of the game. Especially, when the new format was just implemented to increase the quality. It seems that the league should make an example of him to prevent this situation. But it may make things worse because it could give incentive for players not to play. I guess the league will overlook it because it was not substantial.

I would completely agree with you if thibs wasnt fucking bulldozing jimmy.

That guy needs a break but at the same time deserves to be an allstar.
