Jimmy Butler trolled Al Horford in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals and it immediately became legendary.
Al Horford of the Boston Celtics was the target of Jimmy Butler’s retaliation after teammate Grant Williams was baptized by Butler.
The Miami Heat defeated the Celtics 128-102, gaining a 3-0 lead in the series. During the third quarter, Jimmy Butler trolled Horford by making a timeout signal on one knee.

However, Butler’s actions were not entirely disrespectful, but rather an act of revenge. In the first game of the series, Horford did the same after forcing Miami to call a timeout.

The difference was that Horford did it in the opening game that the Celtics lost, while Butler did it in the third game, where the Heat had practically secured their victory. Butler did not have to do much heavy lifting in Game 3, scoring only 16 points, while his teammates Vincent, Robinson, and Martin scored more points.
Butler was able to sit out the entire fourth quarter, focusing on his exceptional trolling skills.
