Trust Jimmy Butler to not miss a beat when he’s playing. The Miami Heat star cheekily side-eyed the referee for a good few seconds during the team’s clash against the Orlando Magic.
The Heat propped up a 110-105 win and Butler led from the front with 29 points, 6 rebounds, and as many assists. However, there was an instance during the game when he side-eyed the referee as a way of expressing how unhappy he was with officiating.
It was hilarious at best as the referee was oblivious to Butler staring at him, but fans were quick to notice what the forward was up to.

Jimmy Butler Weighs-In On All-Star Selection, Believes Bam Adebayo Deserved It
While Butler will not be making the All-Star Weekend this year, he vouched for his teammate Bam Adebayo who didn’t make the starters list either.
Adebayo finished 11th in the voting and made his feelings clear, but Butler believed that the center would make the reserves, the list of which will be revealed on February 2. Adebayo was ranked 5th in both player and media votes, and that might just work in his favor when the coaches sit down to pick the reserves.
"We all know that he deserves it. I think he will be picked… He better be there, that's for sure."

“I think he will. Yes, we all know that he deserves it but I think he will be picked by the coaches and whoever else picks the reserves. He better be there, that’s for sure.”
On the season front, Miami finally looks like they are getting their mojo back. They have won eight of their last 11 games. At the time of writing, the Heat are placed sixth in the Eastern Conference with a 28-22 record.
They play the Charlotte Hornets next, followed by clashes against the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks.
