Timberwolves’ Jimmy Butler gives out his cell phone number, answers fan calls
During his Minnesota Timberwolves introductory press conference at the Mall of America, Jimmy Butler told haters and critics to hit him up.
Butler gave out his actual cell phone number on Thursday when asked if the criticism from fans for his move to Minnesota is frustrating.
"Somebody's got to take the blame,” Butler said. “I'll be that guy. I'm OK with it. I'm fine. Everybody is entitled to their opinion. But with that being said, my phone is in my back pocket right now.
“If whoever has anything to say to me, feel free 773-899-6071. If you want an interview, there. You have it. Please do."
