Chicago Bulls Can't Stand All-Star Guard Jimmy Butler's Love Of Taylor Swift
Wednesday, March 11, 2015 11:45 pmWritten by: ThePostGame Staff

Jimmy Butler is a Taylor Swift fan, and he doesn't care who knows it.

The Chicago Bulls shooting guard, who is having a breakout season and is one of the favorites to win the NBA's Most Improved Player award, admitted to ProBasketballTalk that he loves rocking out to the popular singer during warmups.

"My teammates don’t like it very much because it’s country music, but they get over it," Butler told PBT. "I like Taylor Swift. I like music as a whole, but her music is kinda catchy. I’m sure she’ll hear this interview now and be like ‘what’s going on?'"

There's evidence that Butler jams out to T-Swift. Teammate Nazr Muhammed recorded this video of Butler singing along to the song "22" in the locker room.

Butler's love of Swift may extend beyond her body of work. Earlier this season Butler was asked about Swift, who has made her presence known in the NBA community by sitting courtside at several New York Knicks games. Here's what the 25-year-old Butler had to say about the pop star and one of her past beaus:

Jimmy gave the thumbs-down to T-Swift's relationship with John Mayer. "If you want to date someone, come to Chicago and date yours truly."

— Sean Highkin (@highkin) December 19, 2014

Not that Swift needs any more financial security (she's reportedly worth $200 million), but now would be a great time to start dating Butler. Earlier this season Butler turned down a reported four-year, $40 million extension offer from the Bulls. He was essentially betting that he could earn more than that by having a sensation season.

And that's just what he's done. While Butler's numbers have trailed off following his red hot start, he's still having a stellar year with per-game averages of 20.2 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists. Those are all career highs. Butler is out of the lineup as he recovers from a strained elbow, but when he returns he'll be expected to carry a significant load for coach Tom Thibodeau's squad as it makes a playoff push.

If he's serious about Taylor Swift, Butler should probably reach out to her before the season ends. Last summer Butler spent his weeks without Internet and cable, and if he plans on doing that again this year, it might be hard to get in touch.

Butler may even have some experience with pop stars, as some reports claim he hooked up with Miley Cyrus two years ago.

All I have to say is -

[gpap]

In all seriousness, if the LMA/Matthews thing doesn't work out that Sherrod mentioned, I actually think we have a good shot at Butler.

He's friends with Crowder who can talk him into coming here plus I have a feeling Chicago could be in for some changes which means they may not bother to match any offers for Butler.

I'd offer him the max if need be.

He will get the five year max from Chicago.  He was their best player, and a guy who they might be able to build around.

Butler was the only reason the Bulls even went 4-2. If the Bulls don't match any offers, then their FO/GM needs to be fired.

I'm hoping Crowder can convince Butler to try to say he wants out, and to join the Celtics. Then all we would need a Center. Demarcus anyone?

.....

Besides, of course, talent and popularity


(Zing)

[moiso]

Swift lives in Westerly, RI.  That's pretty close to Boston.  If those two ever hook up she could lure him to the Celtics.

[e4sym0de]

I had to google taylor swift 

[Donoghus]

Like him but I don't think Chicago will let him go.

[Rondo9]

Like him but I don't think Chicago will let him go.

Gotta put pressure on them then.

Gotta put pressure on them then.

If they give him a maximum qualifying offer (five seasons at the max with 7.5% raises), what pressure do you think can be put on Chicago?

[greece66]

@Beat LA: great find 
I had to google Taylor Swift. I closed the YouTube window in horror in three msecs.
And on top of that he dated Miley Cyrus?
A man of such taste has no place in Boston.
LA, Miami and NY are the places for him.

A number of things, actually, but you said it yourself, just in reverse, lol . The difference between her and 'stars' like Taylor Swift is just as you stated - talent (zing ), but let's get into that.  I was just having some fun and thought that a few other people on here might get a laugh out of it, haha .

Sidebar - to those of you who had to google Taylor Swift - you have no idea how much I envy you, ahaha .

[Beat LA]

We could actually use this to our advantage, you know.  If the Lakers can get the director of the Matrix to produce a video that nearly made Carmelo Anthony go to Los Angeles (although why anyone would ever think that he and Kobe could exist on the court is beyond me, but whatever), why can't we do the same here with a Taylor Swift 'song,' lol ?  I'll start -

Defense, post ups, free throws, heart - you (Butler) could show us incredible things...ahaha .

I don't even bother to turn on the radio, anymore, because there's no escaping her.  Ever.  Ugh.  Her 'music' should be on the official playlist of the interrogators at Guantanamo Bay, ahaha . Well, that and Anaconda and the Booty 'song,' lol . *facepalm*
