The Warriors were blown out by the Heat on Tuesday in Jimmy Butler’s first game against his former team on a night that felt like a massive dud for Golden State. But while the mercurial Warriors star had a disappointing night on the court, ESPN’s Bobby Marks felt like it was Heat fans who didn’t meet the moment.
The Heat played a video tribute to Butler during the visiting team introductions before the game, with a somewhat sparse crowd mostly applauding their former star. That’s what set off Marks, a former NBA general manager turned ESPN analyst, who used his time on “Get Up” on Wednesday morning to blast the Heat fans for cheering for Butler on Tuesday night, apparently taking a shocking level of personal offense to their reaction.
