I knew he was a pokemon

[–] shadowCloudrift@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Zion did say a lot of NBA players are secretly huge anime fans...

Now we just need other players to yell out their special moves.

dude is from street fighter

[–] lolvalue@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I do want him to bring back the Guile hair, that was the best version of Jimmy hair.

[–] thebranbran@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fucking Jimmy lol. Obligatory miss that man

[–] etfvidal@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It still baffles me why so many big men refuse to use a sky hook!

[–] thesmellafteritrains@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

because its really really hard to get consistent. The ball is rolling off one hand, completely out of sight, so there is just such a small margin for error. practicing a sky hook means skimping on practicing something, well... more practical

[–] Candid_Sand_398@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wait. The best is that they call a TO and he’s still practicing his sky hook, amusing himself, on the way to the bench. That man enjoys himself out there. Pure joy

[–] JeanRalfio@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Anyone else on mobile only see the Heat score and Celtics score and think he was saying this down 50?

[–] posamobile@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is this a legit Skyhook? To me looks like a running jumphook

[–] gamer15807@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

mf watches some sport animes and tries it in real life

[–] iCOULDbewr0ng@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

😂😂

Never change Jimmy

[–] Beleiverofhumanity@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lol everyone knows yelling special moves out makes them stronger

[–] randy88moss@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lakers once hired Kareem strictly to teach Andrew Bynum the unstoppable skyhook….Bynum went to management and told them to get rid of Jabbar after several months

[–] HelloThereCat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Even knowing it was coming this was still way funnier than I expected. Said that shit so loud and clear lmao

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's such a thin line between bravery and stupidity. If that was a miss, Jimmy would've looked like Jordan Poole

[–] Imaginary-Tiger-1549@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’s why I don’t understand why for so long the sentiment in baseball was that you basically shouldn’t celebrate/pimp your plays. Like you’re just enjoying the moment, making entertainment content, because after all, sports players are basically just actors if you really think about it, same type of business, and if this shot doesn’t work out, everyone deservedly laughs at them for embarrassing themselves.. that’s the risk you take, like the infamous Kemba no-look shimmy “three”

[–] NoChanceNoProblem@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think everyplayer should have to yell out what type of shot they are doing everytime or it doesn't count.

[–] LyonsKing12@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Definitely waited until it was going in to yell it.

[–] GramMKII@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I want to see Wemby do it.

[–] LoWE11053211@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

this is more like 2nd floor hook at best

[–] swantonist@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

pulled a hook shot out of his a-

[–] 7eventhball@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Some pick up game trash talk type shit a mf would yell doin it too lmao

[–] WordNahMean@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Basketball would be peak entertainment if the players yelled out the moves theyre doing like anime

[–] Cynadoclone@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I hope he says jump shot at some point

[–] BowOnly@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Game. Blouses.

[–] Steinbulls@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How can you not love this guy

[–] hankbaumbachjr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jimmy was having such a good time out there tonight.

[–] lolvalue@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Him Kyle and Derozan are way to good of friends to be competing against eachother. They just fuck around all game. Right after that flop on Lavine he went straight to Derozan to explain the flop in detail.

[–] BikeInWhite@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The mics for the Chicago announcers had some technical difficulties last night and cut out for a good 2 minutes in the game. This play happened right in the middle of that announcer blackout, so it was nothing but the sound of the ball bouncing, sneakers squeaking on the floor, and then a super loud "SKY HOOK!" out of nowhere. It was glorious.

Jimmy Butler is solid gold and will forever be one of my all-time favorite NBA players.

[–] frontloaderguilty@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It was indeed hilarious - I was watching on a NBA League Pass feed (DirecTV Stream) and something was goofy on the stream in an few different places and this one was perfectly timed. That's the best part of watching Jimmy - you just never know when something goofy is going to happen.

[–] Double-Armadillo-898@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

he's a sicko but a true hof 😭

[–] TheAlmightyLoaf@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Clearly he was telling us his favorite POI on World's Edge

[–] Positive-Media423@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Anime protagonist shouting the blows:

[–] basiccitizen@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This makes me so happy to see lol. When my dad played basketball with me growing up he would constantly take these shots and just yell "SKY HOOKER" mid shot.

[–] jackoftrades002@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jimmy looks so small doing this. Crazy he’s 6’8

[–] professorgreenie@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

by far the funniest man in the NBA

[–] Mastag2021@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jimmy calling sky hook before he makes a sky hook is my favorite play so far this year

[–] Imaginary-Tiger-1549@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

At first I though the commentator said “ he pulled a hook shot out of his ass”

[–] bronet@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I am literally Jimmy Butler

[–] Jra805@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

One day I wish to have the swag Jimmy does.

Also fuck ESPN, I got it free from Verizon and then bitches put an ad before this video on their app. What the fuck and I (not directly) paying for?!

[–] red23011@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is Jimmy going to be OK? That was violent.

[–] _Tar_Ar_Ais_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jokic needs to spam skyhooks

[–] onamonapizza@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Dude is like a fucking Street Fighter character LOL

HADOUKEN!!!

[–] Camelsnake@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You have to yell out the name of your Super attacks before you use it

[–] Away_Sun_3040@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Love Jimmy bringing flavor & fun to the game.
