Jimmy Butler recently hung out with his close friend and soccer superstar, Neymar Jr. The two have been close for a while and are frequently spotted together. A hilarious interaction between the pair recently surfaced wherein Butler took up a bet Neymar had offered. Butler has unquestionably ascended to superstar status, garnering widespread respect from fans around the world

This off-season, Jimmy Butler has been taking it easy, running his coffee business, and hanging out with Neymar. They recently made a bet, which they shared on Instagram. Neymar challenged Butler to touch the ceiling, but with Butler’s 6’7″ height and impressive vertical jump, it wasn’t a smart bet. Neymar, with his $250 million net worth, can probably afford to lose.

Butler, a hustler on and off the court, made sure to gather more money from the room before attempting the jump. This tactic wasn’t new; he had a reputation for hustling his NBA colleagues in the past. He even charged $20 per cup of coffee during the NBA bubble, which led to the creation of his own coffee brand, “Big Face.” As expected, Butler won the bet by touching the ceiling and collecting his winnings.

How was Jimmy Butler in the 2023 season?

Jimmy Butler earned the admiration of fans worldwide in the past season by leading his team to the NBA Finals as the 8th seed, a remarkable feat considering the Miami Heat‘s less-than-stellar regular season performance. Despite the odds stacked against them, Butler’s regular-season contributions were impressive, with averages of 22.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in 64 games played.

The Miami Heat finished the regular season with a 44-38 record, having a better home record (27-14) than on the road (17-24). Overall, including the playoffs, they had a 58-49 record. They secured their playoff spot by losing to the Hawks but winning against the Raptors in the play-in tournament.

Against all expectations, Miami faced the top-seeded Bucks in the first round of the playoffs. However, Jimmy Butler had other plans. He went on an incredible tear, averaging 37.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in just five games. In a remarkable performance, Butler scored a franchise playoff record of 56 points, leading the Miami Heat to a stunning comeback victory over the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5.

After handling the New York Knicks, the Miami Heat advanced to the conference finals against the Boston Celtics. They initially led the series 3-0 but allowed the Celtics to mount a comeback, winning three straight games and forcing a decisive Game 7. Ultimately, the Heat secured the series win in Game 7. In the NBA Finals, the Heat made it but fell short against the Denver Nuggets, losing the series in five games.
