Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat are making rounds online after a photo of them waiting for Nikola Jokic in the hallway of Ball Arena went viral. However, former NBA player and Golden State Warriors big man Andrew Bogut couldn't help but make fun of it.
An Instagram post from Denver-based photographer Aaron Ontiveroz showed a photo of Butler, Kyle Lowry, Bam Adebayo, and other Heat players waiting to confront Jokic in the hallway of the arena. It was after the Serbian's shoving match with Markieff Morris, in which Jokic hit the Heat forward with a shoulder into the back causing the latter to fall in pain.
Of course, nothing happened since security intervened, preventing what could have been another heated exchange between NBA stars.
Nonetheless, Bogut is not buying the drama. Upon seeing the photo, the ex-Warriors center took to Twitter to mock the Heat's action as he noted that such things happen so “conveniently” with cameras watching. He then proceeded to point out that “nothing ever happens” in such circumstances.

Sure enough, it's not as if Andrew Bogut is wishing for a fight to break out. He's probably pointing out how the Heat were trying hard to show a “tough guy” look—something that a lot of NBA teams have tried before but didn't have the guts to actually walk the talk.
For what it's worth, Nikola Jokic has already shown regret for his actions, though what transpired during Monday's game could very well be the start of a heated rivalry.
