Jimmy Butler is the latest NBA star player who was caught making racist comments to a white opponent during a game.
Butler scored 21 points in 31 minutes of his Golden State Warriors’ 120-107 win over the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Monday night. During the third quarter of the game, Butler was being guarded by Nets rookie Danny Wolf. Butler pulled up at the edge of the key and made a jumper to give his two more points to make it 88-85. Butler was also knocked down to the ground and received a foul shot.
After rising to his feet, Butler taunted Wolf with some racist comments.
“White boy! White boy! Every time! Shut up. Shut the f— up!” Butler said to Wolf.

That must be a thing among the Warriors considering Draymond Green did the same thing while facing the Phoenix Suns a week ago.
Wolf was drafted in the first round by the Nets and has played in 16 games so far during his rookie season. This sort of thing probably is not new for him. It’s definitely not new among the Warriors.
