It has been over 16 years since Paul Pierce may or may not have pooped his pants during the NBA Finals. Few things in NBA history have been debated more as to whether or not that was actually poop, with Pierce himself changing his story every few years. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, I guess this is like that Black/Blue dress thing from a few years ago where you just have to decide for yourself what the hell this was on his shorts

I bring this up because we are once again back with the debate as to whether or not someone pooped their pants during an NBA game. Our latest subject? Jimmy Butler

I mean, this looks pretty familiar to me

If that's not poop, then what was it? The location, the color, I mean that has to be poop. The way he's walking to the bench, there was a fart at some point that had to surprise Jimmy. We've all been there. It's why you should never take that type of risk if we're being honest. I'm sure someone will try and spinzone this and suggest that what you're seeing here is actually just something weird going on with the camera and the TV feed, but as someone who has lived through the Paul Pierce poop investigation, I feel like I am qualified to weigh in here. That's not a camera issue, that's poop or the very least a wet fart that seeped through his shorts. No need to haggle over the semantics, we all know poop when we see it.

Let's also be very clear here, sometimes a situation like this happens and you can't avoid it

it's also pretty unfortunate that the Warriors were wearing white on the road. If they were in their normal road uniforms, we have no idea that Jimmy may or may not have pooped his pants. Like Pierce, that's just a tough break.

After reviewing the evidence, I don't know how anyone could conclude that this was not poop. I'm sure it'll be denied just like Pierce did for over a decade, but we all weren't born yesterday. It's no big deal, it can happen to the best of us so just own it and move on. Turn it into a sponsorship or something. Have fun with it. Going the denial route is only going to make things worse, because again, how on earth could that be anything other than poop.
