Jimmy Butler posted a photo to his Instagram on Monday, alongside a caption about leadership. That seemed noteworthy to some amid reports that the veteran is frustrated with younger Minnesota Timberwolves teammates Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins.

The caption, however, appears to be referring to the men behind Butler in the photo, who, according to NBC's Dan Feldman, are his trainer Chris Johnson, agent Bernie Lee, and chef Christian Bowman.

Still, that didn't stop Butler from firing back at a comment that said he should "show Towns and (Wiggins) the way then instead of crying about them."
