Warning to all thirsty Instagram dwellers – dont express said thirst on Gabrielle Unions posts.

Lest a 6 foot 3 NBA legend come for your blood.

Dwayne Wade has absolutely no chill when it comes to celebrities ogling his wife Gabrielle, even if the celeb in question is his former basketball teammate.

Jimmy Butler learned that the hard way when he left an appreciative comment on a rather raunchy picture of Bring It On actress Gabrielle.

The 45-year-old shared a picture from Venice, showing herself wearing black studded bikini bottoms and a rather revealing soaked through crop top.

Dwayne was one of the first people to comment, simply writing Mine – but then, Minnesota Timberwolves star Jimmy Butler piped up.

The 28-year-old commented: WELL DAMN!! – and Dwayne wasnt too impressed when he saw it.

Jimmy later uploaded a video to Instagram with the caption: The good, the bad, and the ugly aka @ayeyoomike__; and his fellow basketball player fired back with a warning that was equal parts funny and terrifying.

Dwayne, 36, wrote: Put well damn in caps on my wife photo again and youre gonna see what the good, the bad and the ugly is like.

Jimmy replied: Well that escalated quickly. Point noted – leaving us wondering if this clash was about to lead to fisticuffs.

Were leaning towards no – Dwayne and Jimmy are former Chicago Bulls teammates, and enjoyed a spot of karaoke together earlier in the week.

But still Jimmy, maybe dont flirt with your pals wife.

Dwayne and Gabrielle began dating in 2009, and briefly split up in 2013 due to their busy schedules.

Despite Wade welcoming a child with his friend Aja Metoyer during the split, the pair reunited and got engaged in December 2013 before tying the knot in August 2014.

Gabrielle is now stepmother to Dwaynes three sons Zaire, Zion and Xavier, as well as looking after his nephew, Dahveon.
