What this tells me is that the Miami Heat are going to be a force this season (LMAO).

Speaking on Monday’s livestream, “Hustler Casino Live” (HLC) co-owner Nick Vertucci said that Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler was “not welcome back” on his poker show because of alleged “rude” behavior during Butler’s last appearance, which also happened to be his only one.

Butler, the 14-year NBA legend also known as “Jimmy Buckets,” competed on the popular “Hustler Casino Live” program June 22, which turned out to be one of the biggest poker streams in the history of the game. Not only was Butler featured, but so was loud-mouthed boxer Ryan Garcia, Twitch streaming star Ninja, HCL fan favorite Alan Keating and social media playboy Dan Bilzerian. On top of that, soccer superstar Neymar was also a part of things, making the stream even more giant.

But uh … it looks like that historic stream might end up being remembered for something else.

The Heat is on, ladies and gentlemen. Jimmy clearly has a fire lit up his … you know.
