After acquiring Jimmy Butler at the trade deadline, it didn’t take long for Steph Curry to click with the newest member of the Golden State Warriors. Behind the duo of Curry and Butler, the Warriors stormed to a 23-7 record to end the season and punch a ticket to the postseason.
Following the Warriors’ play-in tournament victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, Butler unveiled a new nickname for Curry, calling him “Batman.” Butler and Curry combined for 75 points against the Grizzlies in the play-in tournament.
Prior to opening night against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, Butler fired up the bat signal with a callback to his nickname for Curry. On Instagram, Butler posted a pair of pictures that featured Batman. The first photo was the classic Bat Signal, followed with a picture of Batman and Robin.
