Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo Mentioned In Hilarious Corgi NBA-Based Video
Miami Heat superstars Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo were part of a funny social media video that renamed players if they were dogs.
Instagram user @jokishsports mashed up an original video posted by @dash and furious but gave it an NBA theme. The video showed a lovable corgi playing with a ball. It apparently wanted to play fetch with its owner but looked like it was shooting hoops.
In the mash up, Butler and Adebayo are among the dozen or so players given new names. Butler was dubbed "Jimmy Muttler" while Adebayo was changed to "Attaboyo." It was a play off the Dave Chappelle skit that pointed out how some fans call out the names of their favorite players after taking a shot.
The dog-themed post has received more than 10,000 likes since late January. It was a clever way to please basketball fans and dog lovers in a humorous way. The corgi featured was called "The Point Guarddog."
Here are some of the best:
Piston Pistol Marafetch (Pete Maravich)
Howlonzo Mourning (Alonzo Mourning)
Drool Holiday (Jrue Holiday)
St. Bernard King (Bernard King)
Steph Furry (Steph Curry)
Jack Russell Westbrook (Russell Westbrook)
Chris Paws (Chris Paul)
Kareem Abdul-Slobber (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar)
Blake Sniffin (Blake Griffin)
Great Daneian Lillard (Damian Lillard0
LaBran (LeBron James)
Of course, the video ends by possibly settling the G.O.A.T debate. The last entry is Michael Corgan aka Michael Jordan.
