This season, Jimmy Butler will join Warriors fans in keeping a close eye on Steph Curry’s free-throw numbers. But while fans will look to see if they can still complain that their star player isn’t getting enough shots at the line, Butler will be looking at those stats for a different reason.
After the Warriors’ 119-109 opening night win against the Lakers on Tuesday, ESPN reporter Anthony Slater asked Butler what he wants his free-throw percentage to be this season. The 36-year-old forward smiled and said he wants to be better than Steph Curry.
