"Too much fiber": Internet pokes fun at Jimmy Butler as his shorts stained during Mavericks game clip goes viral

Jimmy Butler III is regarded as one of the most celebrated NBA players for the Golden State Warriors. However, a recent clip of Butler in a match against the Dallas Mavericks has caught the internet off-guard. The player was spotted in stained shorts during the match.

After winning two consecutive games against Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls, the Golden State Warriors faced the Mavericks on Wednesday 12, 2025. Jimmy Butler III began the gameplay as one of the projected starting five. However, midway through the game, he met with a minor accident. I'm not talking about an injury, but that his white shorts appeared to be stained near the thighs.

The internet did its thing and netizens flooded the comments with their assumptions and jokes.
