Jimmy Butler of the Minnesota Timberwolves sent out a message to fans who overly criticize NBA players.

Butler was out in The Bahamas, not to enjoy the beach and chill, but to train in the sand. While taking a breather, Butler went to his Instagram story and had a message to some fans' and their misplaced confidence. Do you think you can match-up with an NBA player?

Check out the clip below from Butler's Instagram story as posted by Fadeaway World:

Perhaps Butler has had enough of armchair critics who lash out on NBA players without actually having played a single minute of ball. Of course, criticism is allowed in this free world. And for all its worth, criticism is what makes something grow.

Yet too much criticism is wrong, too. And this is what Butler is pointing out. Even if one is the last guy on the bench, it doesn't mean he's trash or worthless, like many fans believe. The fact that they made it all the way to the NBA, it means that at one point in their lives, they were heralded as the best in the team, the nation, or even in their respective country. So if you plan on dishing out some hate on a bench player, you better think again.
