Stephen Curry called Batman as Buddy Hield roasts Jimmy Butler saying he’s Alfred not Robin in hilarious NBA moment

In one of the funniest moments so far in the NBA Playoffs, Buddy Hield dropped a one liner that had Jimmy Butler and fans bursting into laughter. As Hield was exiting the press conference room, just before Jimmy was about to take the mic, someone joked about the whole “Batman and Robin” dynamic in the league. Without missing a beat, Buddy turned back and said, “Stephen Curry is Batman… and Jimmy? He’s Alfred. His name is Butler.” Then he walked out.

Jimmy’s reaction was priceless. He shook his head, covered his face, and laughed in disbelief. It wasn’t just the joke, it was the delivery, the timing, and the fact that it caught everyone, including Butler, completely off guard. It was classic Buddy Hield humor: sharp, fast, and just cheeky enough to land without offending.

Buddy Hield mocks Jimmy Butler saying he’s Alfred, not Robin

The line worked on so many levels. First, the reference: Alfred, the loyal butler to Batman, fits hilariously well when the guy you’re teasing is literally named Butler. Second, Buddy clearly had fun with it and so did Jimmy. Even before starting his own press conference, Butler was already giggling and visibly enjoying the moment.

Just weeks ago, the vibe around these players was completely different. There had been visible friction between Hield and his teammates, with reports of on court disagreements and tense exchanges, including moments with both Curry and Butler during tough games. But that’s the NBA: things can shift fast. After a big win against the Houston Rockets in the first round, the Warriors advanced to face the Timberwolves in the semifinals, and suddenly the locker room feels lighter especially with Hield’s improved performance.

Buddy didn’t just bring jokes, he brought numbers. In that closeout game against Houston, he led the team in scoring and seemed far more locked in than earlier in the season. Fans have noticed. So has the media. And moments like this where he breaks the tension with a perfectly timed jab only add to his momentum.

Jimmy Butler is anyone’s Alfred, he took the joke like a champ. And Buddy Hield? He might not be Batman or Robin, but right now, he’s got the timing of a comedy legend and the game to back it up.

‘Temos que sentir vergonha’, dispara Vegetti sobre goleada sofrida pelo Vasco contra o Puerto Cabello

"Uma vergonha". Assim Pablo Vegetti, capitão do Vasco, definiu a atuação da equipe na impiedosa goleada por 4 a 1 sofrida para o Puerto Cabello, na Venezuela. Com uma série de falhas individuais, o cruz-maltino não conseguiu sequer competir contra a frágil equipe venezuelana pela Sul-Americana. — A verdade é que foi uma vergonha. O que eu vou dizer aqui eu já disse a portas fechadas no vestiário, porque se não as pessoas dizem que só falei aqui. Não podemos mais culpar os técnicos. Nós, jogadores, temos que assumir. Muitos técnicos vieram e se foram. Não podemos culpar o presidente e nem ninguém. A culpa é nossa. Cometemos muitos erros individuais em todos os setores. Erros que já estamos cometendo há muito tempo — disparou Vegetti. Sob o comando interino do diretor técnico Felipe Loureiro, o Vasco chegou a empatar […]

Giancarlo Stanton injury update: Yankees slugger, sidelined by elbow woes, hopes to return to lineup by June

Getty Images New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton told reporters on Wednesday that he hopes to rejoin the big-league lineup before the end of May. Stanton, who isn't eligible to be activated from the 60-day injured list until May 27, has missed the entire season to date due to elbow tendinitis in both arms.Stanton had, at one point, discussed the possibility of undergoing season-ending surgery. Now, he's optimistic that he won't need a lengthy rehab assignment. (MLB rules dictate that positional players are allowed up to 20 days on rehab assignment; pitchers are allowed up to 30 days.) "It depends on what kind of arms I get available [for live batting practice sessions]," Stanton said, "and how I feel in those at-bats." Stanton, 35, hit .233/.298/.475 (115 OPS+) with 27 home runs and 72 runs batted in last season. He then […]
