Video Shows Warriors’ Jimmy Butler Berated by Bettor on New Orleans Street

The confrontation underscores rising harassment tied to legalized sports betting.

Overview

  • A car-bound man in New Orleans filmed himself yelling at Butler over a missed bet that he says would have paid $30,000 on a $3,000 stake.
  • In the clip, Butler turns and walks up to the vehicle with a coffee in hand but does not engage with the man.
  • The bettor uses profanities, mocks Butler’s appearance, and repeatedly asks if he “works for Vegas.”
  • Reporters note the claimed $3,000-to-$30,000 payout is more consistent with a parlay or long-shot milestone market than a typical single prop.
  • No public comments or disciplinary actions have been reported from Butler, the Warriors, or the NBA regarding the incident.
