Former Chicago Bulls: Jimmy Butler is the Antonio Brown of the NBA

The way former Chicago Bulls star Jimmy Butler handled his tenure with the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Philadelphia 76ers only to sign a new contract this summer with the Miami Heat is strikingly similar to the narrative surrounding the NFL’s Antonio Brown, the star wide receiver who’s made national headlines recently over his disruptive stints with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Oakland Raiders only to reach a new deal to play for the New England Patriots.

In case you missed it, Butler threw a bit of tantrum to get out of Minnesota, got traded to Philadelphia and found a new home during free agency with the Heat.
