Jimmy Butler says one of his biggest issues of playing for the Miami Heat is the late-arriving home crowd
For the most part, he's loved his time in South Florida. There is, however, one thing that bothers him. In an interview with Complex, Butler called out the Heat fans. He was specially referring to the ones who show up late for home games.
"The worst part, to me, our fans never show up on time," Butler said. "They never show up on time. I was like, `Damn, I want it to be rocking from like from the jump ball. Fans, come one, we need y'all."'This criticism is nothing new for Heat fans. They have taken it since the LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh days. The lower bowl usually fills in at some point during the first half but it takes a little longer than most arenas.
Part of it is traffic. Part of it is just folks being late. Regardless, the Heat fans always show up to support their team.Heat center Bam Adebayo is getting set to head to Paris for the summer Olympics for a second time."Obviously, you're going into a different situation, a different style of play," Adebayo said. "And the group, it's not you have to do four or five extra things. You've got to do one or two.
He later added, "Everybody kind of lets their egos out," Adebayo said. "Winning the gold, it doesn't matter who scores the most, who rebounds the most. At the end of the day, you get a gold medal for your country."Shandel has covered the NBA since 2010, with previous stops at The Athletic and South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
