The nerve of Bulls star Jimmy Butler. Things got a little physical between Butler and Mason Plumlee during last night’s game. Butler was head-butted by Plumlee which sparked the scuffle. No punches were thrown but the two had to be separated by their teammates.

Apparently Butler was fined $2500 and he is trying to punk Plumlee into paying his fine because he feels like he caused it all by throwing the first blow. Interesting enough, Plumlee wasn’t fined at all.
Butler referenced going ‘Fort Greene Projects’ on Plumlee as if he knows about that life. Maybe he does but not because he was raised there. Butler is a Texas native and pretty much tried to carry his teammate Taj Gibson’s street cred. Jimmy knows Plumlee isn’t going to give him $2500 no matter how nicely he asks. He might as well just suck it up and charge it to the game.
