Jimmy Butler has found a new way to contribute to the Golden State Warriors while recovering from his ACL injury, and Steve Kerr couldnt help but laugh at his latest antics.The 37-year-old showed up to Mondays 138-87 demolition of the New Orleans Pelicans dressed exactly like a member of the coaching staff, sporting the same grey Warriors sweater and black pants as Kerr and his assistants.Butler also brought a clipboard with him, writing a simple three-word message for his teammates: PASS TO STEPH.Kerr revealed the outfit was actually something he had jokingly suggested just minutes before Butler walked out wearing it.It was funny because I dont know how this happened, but I told [assistant coach] Khalid [Robinson] about five minutes before the game, I told Khalid, One of these days, we should have Jimmy dress up like us because hes always got some great outfit on and something fashionable, and we wear our quarter-zips and sweaters. I said, We should really get him to dress like a coach one day, and then he walks out, and hes dressed like us, Kerr said. I turned to Khalid, I said, Did you tell him to do that? and he goes, No. It was, I guess, mental telepathy or something. Were on the same page on that. He was enjoying himself.Kerr was also impressed with Butlers commitment to his new role, although he suspected there was a little bit of mockery involved.He was really acting the part, but I also realized he was mocking us, so it hurt a little bit, Kerr joked.Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg thinks Jimmy should just stick to his day job.I didnt like his advice, Lendeborg said. I didnt like it out there. He looked very weird wearing the coachs stuff. I didnt even notice that they all wear the same thing until today. So, I mean, Im glad that he got to do it. Im glad that hes having fun. He said he was going to get a tech for us tonight; he didnt. So, shame on him, but its all good.Lendeborg added that Butler wasnt contributing too much.I didnt learn anything, Lendeborg said. All I learned was once youre on the court with Steph, give Steph the ball. Thats all I learned. Bad coaching by him, man.
