Jimmy Butler is up there among sports stars having intentional faux pas online. The former Miami Heat superstar is good friends with many people across the sports dimension, including Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi. Having a Spanish-speaking friend fraternity has brought him much legitimacy in different markets and allowed him to establish a more global brand.

The Warriors star is currently vacationing in Italy with some of his closest friends after their playoff exit. J Balvin is one of the members of his entourage.Being friends with a pop sensation like Balvin comes with its special perks and experiences. Perhaps Jimmy Butler was unprepared for what the Colombian singer would spring upon him. In a video shared on his Instagram stories, Butler showed one of his best on-camera moments ever.

The video clip shows Balvin giving Butler a deck of cards in what was designed as a card trick. However, after showing Butler the top two cards on the deck, Balvin proceeded to show that it was actually a trick deck. He uncovered the flap containing a fake snake as Butler held it. As the fake snake sprang out suddenly, it sent Butler into a nervous rapture and had him falling out of his chair, quite literally.

The incident seemed to absolutely fry Butler’s brain as he kept exclaiming how he doesn’t play around with snakes. Despite Balvin reaching out to him and trying to help him compose himself, Butler continued to grumble. It was with great effort that the 40-year-old singer was able to get Butler over his fear of snakes. The incident has undoubtedly made Butler the butt of some premium funny gifs in the future.

Jimmy Butler then posted more updates of his vacation with Kylian Mbappe. The two of them have a long standing friendship for over six years now, ever since Butler made a Paris trip for an All-Star weekend. Butler’s latest Instagram stories detail that he currently is in Nice, on the south coast of France. Even though the Warriors’ season has come to a disappointing finish, Butler will always enjoy his time off work.

Jimmy Butler once famously fell out of a canoe

During his early days with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Jimmy Butler took a lake trip with ESPN’s Sam Alipour. At first, his worries seemed to center around not knowing how to swim and jokingly fretting about sharks, even though lake sharks aren’t exactly common. The whole segment’s a hoot, showcasing Butler’s charm and humor. But the real comedic gold happens at 2:27 when Jimmy and the canoe encounter some… let’s say, “unexpected turbulence”.

This segment was filmed back when approval ratings for Butler were still sky-high. He was leading the Wolves back into the playoffs for the first time in 14 seasons. People weren’t skeptical of his locker room abrasiveness, even though there had been whispers from his time in Chicago. And he hadn’t had the kind of dramatic meltdown that has made Butler the poster boy for the worst trade sagas to happen in the NBA.

Even after spending five and a half seasons in South Beach, Butler’s reputation took another hit after his elongated trade saga with Miami. Even so, it has gotten some rehabilitation after his arrival bolstered the Warriors’ roster this year. The small forward will try to play out the remainder of his two-year contract in the Bay Area. The Warriors are locked in with their current core alongside Stephen Curry, and this will be their last dance.
