So Wait...Noah & Butler Had Beef ?

Joakim Noah, Jimmy Butler Had Several Heated Arguments In 15-16

Joakim Noah and Jimmy Butler were initially very close friends as Chicago Bulls' teammates, but it became tumultuous during the 15-16 season.

According to multiple sources, Noah and Butler engaged in several heated disagreements throughout that season.

"What happened?" Butler says. "I don't know. All I can say is, obviously he's been with me since I was a nobody in this league. And I went about things a lot differently. My voice wasn't heard. And he's been with me as I came to be an All-Star as well in this league. And my voice was heard then. And when my voice is heard, I'm going to let it be heard."

"We're just different people," Noah says. "We were always very close; me and Jimmy were always very close, but things change."

"It was hard because we all came in together," Taj Gibson says. "We were the core, and it's rough when your core starts breaking up."

Noah left the Bulls to sign with the New York Knicks in 2016.

I read the espn article. Sounded like Jimmy got too big for Noah’s liking no homo. Noah liked it better when jimmy was the scrappy rookie off the bench and not the best player on the team.

There are too many reporters and outlets trying to get a story.

First we get the scoop that Kyrie's father once didn't dap up one of Lebron's entourage members and now we get the breaking news that Noah and Butler sometimes had disagreements

Interesting both Antoine Walker and Scottie Pippen were already calling Butler a locker room cancer, lets hope he gets along with his new teammates in Minny.

Was it really? All I remember is they said Jimmy & Pooh was beefing but Rose called the media out on that fabrication
