Jimmy Butler wants “Mister Dukie” Mason Plumlee to pay his fine
Jaime Valdez/USA TODAY Sports
The only thing worse than Dukies? Plumlees. That’s why I’m applauding Bulls guard Jimmy Butler for demanding that Mason Plumlee pay the $2,500 fine Butler received for a technical foul involving an incident between the two.
While Butler was trying to set a pick, Plumlee lowered his shoulder and knocked him over, prompting Butler to trip him. From there, the two exchanged words and Butler got a technical, while Plumlee only got a flagrant 1 foul.
After the game, Butler told reporters he’s going to have his agent email Plumlee, aka “[email protected] or something,” about it. From the Chicago Sun Times:
“Yeah, he cost me $2,500. I’m going to ask him to pay me back, and I’m not playing. I’m going to ask, nicely. Yeah, I’m going to get that.”
So will it be in letter form?
“I’m going to tell my agent to e-mail or something,” Butler added, before taking one last shot at Plumlee, who attended college at Duke. “I know it’s like MisterDukie[email protected] or something.”
Jimmy Butler is now [email protected]

Jimmy Butler is now one of my favorite NBA players.
I am a die-hard UK hoops fan…dad went to UK in the early 60’s then moved to Oregon when I was young…Trail Blazers, Rip City etc etc….even had the fortune of drafting Sam Bowie over Jordan (a move I still defend to this day) and Derek Anderson later on (even had Billy Ray Bates from Kentucky State at one point and ex-UK hoopster Larry Steele played on their 77 NBA Title team)…but having Dookies on the team kills it for me…Blazer game on TV??? Would rather watch Curling…loathe your hometown team because they have a Dookie on the Roster??? Ummm, Yes…especially one named Plumlee (and Nolan Smith at one point…blech)
