Jimmy Butler has an outlandish lifestyle and personality. Following a tough loss for the Miami Heat and Butler’s injury in the playoffs, Jimmy Buckets took to the casino for his rest days. He was even part of the show, Hustler Casino Live. However, as confirmed by the owner of the show, Nick Vertucci, the Heat star, will not be coming back to the table. Well, the hooper is known to have an extremely competitive nature, which anyone would have thought to be the reason. However, the issue is far greater than one can imagine.

Nick recently explained the reasons why JB was banned from the show. He said, “He was rude to everybody. He wasn’t just rude to me, he was rude to the whole staff. I don’t want him back.”. However, the story doesn’t end there. Nick Vertucci talked about the time when Jimmy Butler once started yelling off-camera and throwing tantrums because he wasn’t able to understand a game and was getting impatient because Neymar hadn’t arrived yet.

However, the owner reacted calmly with a sense of understanding, explaining, “That’s OK, too. Little Primadonna stuff.” However, even after his soccer pal arrived, his behavior didn’t seem to change. However, when Nick walked up to Jimmy Butler and tried to converse, his response wasn’t friendly. He asked, “Hey Jimmy, listen, is there anything I could do for you?” while gently tapping his shoulder.

However, Jimmy Butler replied, “Yeah, first thing is get your hand off my f****** arm.”. The Miami Heat vet then soon left but that was his last time in the casino, after which he was banned. Now, the question that might concern fans is, why would Butler be rude?

Well, one way to answer that question is Jimmy Butler’s competitive nature.

Yes, the Heat star has been involved in quite a few controversies in the past because of his trash talk. Not to mention the infamous scrimmage with the Wolves when Jimmy called out the players and the coaches. “You f*****g need me, Scott. You can’t win without me,” he told GM Scott Layden at practice, after requesting a trade from Minnesota. When it comes to proving himself the best on the court, he does not hesitate. It may be through trash talk or rough defense. However, he makes sure that he’s at the top when he plays.

Jimmy Butler recently made a surprise appearance at the Made by Google event on Tuesday and demonstrated the ‘Add Me’ feature. It was quite an unexpected collab by the $2.3 trillion company, considering Jimmy’s controversial personality and streak of trouble-filled public appearances.

Well, it is quite normal to be vocal and outspoken on the court, but when the same goes off the court, it could become a problem. Now, this recent incident wasn’t the first time Butler has been called out by someone on HCL.

Dan Bilzerian called out Jimmy Butler for not playing poker

Butler is good friends with Neymar Jr. and he would join the table only when Neymar did. Butler’s sole purpose was to play a hand while hanging out with Neymar and Ryan Garcia. Following that, Jimmy did not participate in the game for two long hours. When Dan Bilzerian came to know, he said, “That was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. The guy sat there for two hours and watched poker.” The last time they were on the show, JB created a storm of views and comments after he won a $174,000 pot off Neymar!

Soon after, Dan Bilzerian complained, saying, “That basketball player wanted to leave so bad once he doubled [his money] up.” Now, Butler isn’t a professional poker player. But it is safe to say that the Heat star loves spending time around celebrities and celebrity athletes now and then.

Unfortunately for Butler, the offseason is coming to an end and Jimmy will look to get back on the grind, looking to make another deep run after two years. It will be interesting to see Butler take care of business on the floor before he gets back on the poker table.
