Jimmy Butler was suspended indefinitely by the Miami Heat after reportedly walking out of a shootaround on Monday when informed of the team's decision to bring him off the bench. The news sparked a wave of internet memes, with Butler himself referencing the 90s sitcom ' Martin ' in an Instagram post. In the post, Butler shared a clip of Martin Lawrence's character, Martin , mocking his friend Tommy, played by Thomas Mikal Ford, for not having a job.
Butler also uploaded a photo of Tommy to his Instagram story. This character from the 90s show 'Martin' was constantly teased by his friends for claiming to have a job, with the catchphrase 'You ain't got no job, man.'Butler's teammate, Kevin Love, joined in on the fun, photoshopping his and Butler's faces (along with Heat guard Tyler Herro's and Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry's) onto the characters from the sitcom. Love then added the group's song 'It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday' as background music. The incident highlights the tension surrounding Butler's role on the team and the potential for further drama.
