Chicago Bulls shooting guard Jimmy Butler is quietly becoming the face of the franchise, and he reportedly isn’t happy with the former one.
According to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun Times, a former member of the Bulls said that Butler while considers Rose a friend, the fifth-year pro doesn’t have a lot of respect for Rose’s work ethic.
Cowley notes the source also said Butler didn’t appreciate Rose’s comment in May that the shooting guard wasn’t yet a superstar. Whether that’s true or not doesn’t really matter; Butler was an All-Star in 2015 and earned the Most Improved Player award.
