Jimmy Butler is living out the dream of most athletes around the world. Sign a max deal and join the Jordan brand as an endorsement. To get paid to wear the Jordan logo must be one of the best feelings for any kid with a rough past.
Jimmy Butler attended the Michael Jordan Flight School a few weeks ago and a video leaked showing Michael Jordan beat Jimmy Butler in a shoot-out competition with two kids from Jordan’s camp. However, Jimmy Butler wanted to set the record straight on the Waddle & Silvy show.
“It was good. I won; let’s just leave it at that.” – Jimmy Butler on playing Michael Jordan
However, Butler didn’t go out of his way to undermine his boss. Butler had to throw in a few praises for the greatest basketball player to ever play.
“Mike’s still got it. I’m not going to say that he can get up and down right now, but the guy is the greatest to ever play the game. He loves the game, but I hear that his golf game is really great so I’ll stick to the basketball court and he can have the golf.” – Jimmy Butler
Butler is living out the dream this summer, but his real work starts in September’s training camp. After signing a $95 million contract, Butler is expected to take on a much larger role with the Bulls.
