Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler is not just a dedicated basketball player but also a passionate sports enthusiast. In a recent interview, Butler revealed that he enjoys watching various sports as part of his daily routine, finding inspiration from athletes who have excelled in their respective fields. From tennis to soccer, he appreciates greatness in all its forms.

Butler specifically mentioned three tennis players he follows closely: Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, and the legendary Serena Williams. Their exceptional skills and relentless determination have captivated Butler, serving as a source of motivation in his own basketball career. Watching their matches and studying their techniques has become a routine for Butler, both on game days and during his off days.

However, it was Neymar Jr., the Paris Saint-Germain forward and one of the biggest stars in soccer, who received special recognition from Butler. The Miami Heat player expressed his admiration for Neymar Jr.’s talent and revealed that he is a close friend of the Brazilian superstar. Butler invited Neymar Jr. to watch the upcoming NBA Finals in Miami, emphasizing their bond and the impact Neymar Jr.’s highlight reels have had on him.

“He better be there. Ney, I know you are looking somewhere, you better be there,” Butler called out to Neymar Jr. during the interview. “That’s my guy. Part of my routine on game days and off days, I watch all types of sports of people who inspired me to be great. He is one of them. I have probably seen each of his highlight videos way too many times.”
