Or its a joke about being an adult?


Brett Brown complimented Jimmy Butler following the Philadelphia 76ers' 94-89 game 2 win over the Toronto Raptors to even the series.

Butler finished with 30 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists.

"This was James Butler. That was the adult in the gym...He was just a tremendous sort of rock. He willed us to a lot of different situations...He was a stud. He really was an adult in the gym," said Brown.

"My name isn't James, it is literally Jimmy," said Butler, before highlighting defensive efforts from Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.

That was pretty clearly a joke by Brett, and it seems like Butler took it that way, too

I'm bitter.

James Ennis was their 2nd leading scorer.
He was on his mind perhaps.

This.

Brown was making a point about how Butler played like a grown up.
