I knew he was a pokemon

[–] shadowCloudrift@alien.top 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] thebranbran@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Fucking Jimmy lol. Obligatory miss that man

[–] etfvidal@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] thesmellafteritrains@alien.top 1 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] gamer15807@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

mf watches some sport animes and tries it in real life

[–] iCOULDbewr0ng@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

😂😂

Never change Jimmy

[–] Beleiverofhumanity@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Lol everyone knows yelling special moves out makes them stronger

[–] randy88moss@alien.top 1 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

Definitely waited until it was going in to yell it.

[–] GramMKII@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I want to see Wemby do it.

[–] LoWE11053211@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

this is more like 2nd floor hook at best

[–] swantonist@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

pulled a hook shot out of his a-

[–] 7eventhball@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] WordNahMean@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Cynadoclone@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I hope he says jump shot at some point

[–] BowOnly@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Game. Blouses.

[–] Steinbulls@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

How can you not love this guy

[–] hankbaumbachjr@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Jimmy was having such a good time out there tonight.

[–] lolvalue@alien.top 1 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

he's a sicko but a true hof 😭

[–] TheAlmightyLoaf@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Positive-Media423@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Anime protagonist shouting the blows:

[–] basiccitizen@alien.top 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] professorgreenie@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

by far the funniest man in the NBA

[–] Mastag2021@alien.top 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] bronet@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I am literally Jimmy Butler

[–] Jra805@alien.top 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

Is Jimmy going to be OK? That was violent.

[–] _Tar_Ar_Ais_@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Jokic needs to spam skyhooks

[–] onamonapizza@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Dude is like a fucking Street Fighter character LOL

HADOUKEN!!!

[–] Camelsnake@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Away_Sun_3040@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Love Jimmy bringing flavor & fun to the game.
