Jimmy Butler's agent, Bernard Lee, thinks the Minnesota Timberwolves have the most negative crowd in the NBA.
If you recall on opening night, the Timberwolves fans booed Butler loudly during the starting lineups and at the beginning of the game. Butler, of course, requested a trade in September and then did a controversial interview with ESPN. As a result, a lot of fans in Minnesota turned on Butler.
Bernard Lee was actually at the game when Jimmy Butler was booed at home. Maybe he's talking about that night or maybe he's talking about what transpired Monday evening.
Brooklyn Nets small forward Caris LeVert suffered a gruesome leg injury against the Timberwolves. A fan in the crowd then yelled, “Maybe we can win now.” Bernard Lee, upon seeing that, didn't hold back his feelings about Timberwolves fans.

What the fan said in Minnesota is not right. That was a bad thing to say at the time, and Bernard Lee is right to criticize that fan. However, Bernard Lee and Jimmy Butler probably still hold some resentment toward the fans and organization in Minnesota.
Jimmy Butler is now a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. He will be introduced to the media on Tuesday.
