Fat Joe Roasts Gillie Da Kid For Crawford Challenge

Meanwhile, Fat Joe has clowned on Gillie Da Kid after the latter challenged Jamal Crawford to a one-on-one basketball challenge. “Yo, Gillie gotta stop. Nobody loves Gillie and Wallo more than me, but Gillie one-on-one against Jamal Crawford? I don’t got Gillie scoring two [points]. Gillie from Philly, my brother, talking about how he taking on Jamal Crawford — is he on dust? What they got over there in Philly, the tranq [tranquilizer]. You seen that shit where people be just Zombie’d out. It’s worse! Yeah, Gillie gotta relax,” Joe said on Instagram. Furthermore, Joe told Crawford to “break his ankles” in reference to Gillie.

Gillie’s challenge originally came on his podcast. “I bet you Jamal Crawford will not accept this challenge one-on-one. I will cook the sh-t [out of him]. Let me just say this, Jamal Crawford is gonna get his baskets — that’s what he do. He cook everybody. But guess who else going in the oven? Jamal fucking Crawford. He gotta guard me. I’m like Bubba Chuck. I know I’m a muthaf-cking liability on muthaf-cking defense, but I’m such a liability on offense that it don’t even f-ckin matter,” Gillie bragged. While the Philly rapper has some wins against other musicians in streetball, Crawford is likely going to be a whole other challenge.

J Balvin Joins Jimmy Butler For Some Streetball

by

Jimmy Butler and J Balvin teamed up for a game of pickup basketball this week. Both men showed off some flair before enjoying some food with the rest of the crew. It’s good to see Balvin enjoying himself as he prepares to drop a new album later this year. Back in July, Balvin told Nylon that the project is very advanced, but it’s easy to digest.” Back to the video released today, Butler can be seen dunking and generally outplaying everyone. But regardless of Butler’s skill, everyone appears to be having a good time.

While enjoying breakfast, Butler can be seen vibing to the music over bowls of what appears to be chicken and rice. Furthermore, while the quality of the video isn’t the best, someone says something to Butler in Spanish. Butler can be saying, “no no, I’m not going to let you hype me,” presumably in response to his vibing and dancing.

Jimmy Butler And J Balvin Shoot Hoops

This is something of a more positive basketball experience than the one Butler had earlier in the summer. While touring China in July, a fan hit Butler in the face with a shoe. “Man, what an unreal experience,” Butler said to the camera. “First of all, besides getting hit in the face with a shoe, which was probably my favorite part of the whole thing.” The video included footage of the incident, with what appeared to be a pink Croc gently bouncing off Butler’s face. The incident occurred in Taiyuan, a city of around 5.3 million people in Eastern Central China. However, Butler seemed unharmed and, as mentioned, laughed off the incident as his “favorite part” of the outing.

However, playing basketball with J Balvin is not the only thing that Butler has been up to. He also joined the ball crew at the US Open. Butler was on hand to perform ballboy duties in a exhibition between Frances Tiafoe and Carlos Alacaraz. Butler traveled to London earlier in the year to support Alacaraz at Wimbledon. The young Spaniard eventually won the tournament in a thrilling final against Novak Djokovic.
