Like most superstars, Jimmy Butler does his best to give back to the fans. He recently shared a wholesome moment with a young kid who went to great lengths to see him in action.
On Tuesday night, Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat played host to the struggling Chicago Bulls. During the game, a fan's sign made it on the big screen. It was for Butler, stating that the family had traveled all the way from Brazil to watch him play in person.
After the game, he made sure to show his gratitude to the people who did all that traveling just for him. Later that night, Butler posted a series of clips on his Instagram story oh him signing that sign. The young fan was ecstatic to meet his favorite player.
The only down part for the fan was that he did not get to see a win. Thanks to big performances from Coby White and Nikola Vucevic, the Bulls were able to upset the Heat by a final score of 124-116.
Butler had a strong all-around performance, but it was not enough to lead Miami to victory. In 35 minutes of action, he finished with a stat line of 20 points, seven rebounds and seven assists.
Jimmy Butler launches second signature shoe
Earlier this week, Jimmy Butler's second signature shoe hit the shelves for purchase. The Miami Heat star was wearing them during the matchup with the Chicago Bulls.
As one of the top stars in the NBA, Butler has secured his own shoe endorsement deal. It is with a company called Li-Ning, and they've now produced two pairs of sneakers for his signature line.
The Jimmy Butler 2 can only be purchased at KICKS Crew, and they are a little pricy. For all adult sizes, the shoes cost roughly $225. The first colorway for this shoe is "Miami Heat Home," and is a mix of white, black and red.
Butler has missed a handful of games this season, but is still playing at an All-Star level. Through his first 20 games, he is posting averages of 21.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists.
After making the NBA Finals last season, Butler and the Heat hoped to be contenders again in the Eastern Conference. Through the first quarter of the season, that has not been the case. Currently, they sit in seventh place with a record of 14-11.
