The Warriors, on Monday, began their social media campaign to get Butler to the 2026 NBA All-Star Game at Inuit Dome in Los Angeles.
But Butler commented on the post, telling fans he’d rather go on a tropical vacation than go to LA for the midseason showcase.
“Don’t vote for me guys,” Butler wrote on Instagram. “Instead somebody create a gofundme to send me to Barbados. ❤️❤️❤️. Thanks in advance. GO WARRIORS.”
Butler is having a solid season, averaging 19.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 25 games this season, but in a deep Western Conference, he likely faced an uphill battle to make the All-Star roster.

If Warriors fans rock the vote and send Butler to LA, he surely can plan a Caribbean vacation for next summer.
