Jimmy Butler to Miami Heat fans: "I Wonder If They Hate the Team as Much as They Hate Me"

This early morning will witness one of the most tense duels remaining in the regular season of the NBA. Golden State Warriors travel to Florida to face Miami Heat, which means that Jimmy Butler returns to his former home, from where he left through the back door.

Until he was traded to the Warriors, Butler had a very low behavior with the Florida franchise. Consequently, the player was practically suspended for the last months he wore the Miami jersey.

Now, ahead of the expected heated reception, Jimmy Butler sends a message to the Miami Heat fans, in statements to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald:

"I wonder if they hate the Heat the same way they hate me," said Butler. "It's not like I was the one doing it all," he concludes, referring to the controversial final relationship that developed between the player and the franchise.
