20 Best Sports Beefs in 2018

1. Jimmy Butler vs. Minnesota Timberwolves

After just a year in Minnesota, Jimmy Butler decided that he wanted out and demanded a trade. Butler’s reason behind wanting to leave is that he did not like the effort that the Timberwolves’ star players Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins gave every night.

The trade demand ended up culminating in the most talked about practice of the year, when Butler arrived at the Timberwolves facility for the first time and beat the starters in a scrimmage by playing with the guys from the end of the bench.
