Jimmy Butler took an interesting route to address his critics during his introductory press conference with the Timberwolves: He gave the world his phone number.
Jimmy Butler gave the world his cell phone number and wants critics to call him
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
In case you missed it the number is (773) 899-6071. Don’t bother calling right now, because every time we’ve tried we get a message from Verizon saying it’s unavailable. Probably because the number of an NBA superstar was broadcast live to the entire dang world.
Credit where it’s due: Butler is going to face his critics head-on (or ear-on, as the case may be) but he’s definitely going to need a new phone after this.
UPDATE: Butler actually took at least one FaceTime call!
How can you dislike Jimmy? You cannot.
