The close bond between Neymar Jr. and Jimmy Butler has been on full show in recent months. In the NBA Finals, the Brazilian football legend showed his support for Jimmy Butler by attending Miami Heat games. He has been an outspoken admirer of Butler. The two are currently enjoying each other’s company while placing friendly wagers on activities like bowling.

Jimmy Butler posted a video to his Instagram story showing Neymar Jr. getting a spare in a bowling game. Following the incident, some of Butler’s pals presented Neymar Jr. with a $100 cash. When pitted against the Miami Heat great, the PSG star clearly came out on top. Butler did not say who won the game, so we will have to wait for an official announcement.

The friendship between Neymar Jr. and Jimmy Butler is obvious. After the third game of the NBA Finals, the two were first seen hanging around. The most significant series of his career didn’t stop Butler from finding time to hang out with Neymar Jr. The amount of care Butler has for the former Barcelona player is evident from that.

Jimmy Butler Is Very Highly Esteemed By Neymar Jr.

A question about Neymar Jr.’s all-time starting five came up recently in an interview with NBA Brazil. Neymar listed Michael Jordan, Shaquille O’Neal, Stephen Curry, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James as his all-time starting five, but he made sure to emphasize that Jimmy Butler, who is currently having a tremendous season, would be his sixth guy.

The Miami Heat, led by Butler, had a miraculous journey to the NBA Finals, when they stunned the top three teams in the Eastern Conference—Boston, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee. However, the Denver Nuggets were too strong for them.

Superstar Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers has reportedly been linked to the Miami Heat. In a recent Instagram story, Butler stoked the fires by playing a song by Lillard. Assuming they get Dame’s services, the Heat will be regarded as a strong contender in the Eastern Conference.
