Following a disappointing end to the 2022-23 season, Jimmy Butler is looking forward to the next season. Having lost the NBA Finals to the Denver Nuggets, the Miami Heat star decided to recuperate by traveling around the world this off-season. He’s been spotted enjoying himself in New York with J Balvin, and in Brazil with Neymar. In fact, he even took some of the $200,000,000 worth of soccer star’s money in a bet. Now, he is in London where he has issued a dominoes challenge to the city via Instagram.

A few days ago, Jimmy Buckets was seen making a bet with Brazilian soccer superstar Neymar on whether or not the former could touch the ceiling. A confusing bet, especially considering the six-time All-Star plays basketball. As expected, Jimmy won, but only after the Al Hilal winger managed to take $100 off him in an earlier bet.
However, it won’t do much damage to the soccer star. Not only is he worth $200,000,000, but he also has boatloads of money coming in, thanks to his new deal in Saudi Arabia.
Jimmy Butler hilariously issues a dominoes challenge to the city of London
One of the off-season activities Jimmy Butler has been indulging in, apart from working out and coffee, is dominoes. The Miami Heat star has a strong passion for the game and plays it any chance he gets. Recently, he took on J Balvin in New York and came out victorious. A major win, that seems to have inspired him to challenge others.
Now in London, United Kingdom, the itch to play dominoes has been bothering Jimmy. So, taking to Instagram, he issued a challenge to the city, asking his “fellow Londoners” to point him in the direction of a dominoes hotspot. Seems he wants to “whoop that tail”, just like he did J Balvin.
“My fellow Londoners, Londonmates, where do y’all play dominoes at out here? I’m trying to play dominoes all day every day because I’m yet to whip that tail here.”
Hopefully, Jimmy was able to find the challengers he was looking for, because, with the 2023-24 season just around the corner, he should be more than ready to get back into game mode. After all, the Miami Heat will be relying on him to lead them back to the NBA Finals.
Jimmy recently rejected a $100 bet in New York because he wanted $3,000
As mentioned earlier, Jimmy Butler was recently spotted in New York hanging out with J Balvin. While there, he was randomly challenged to a shooting contest by a YouTuber in a playground. Despite being the competitive athlete that he is, the Marquette alum rejected the $100 bet, because he wanted $3,000.
That being said, he has made bets for $100 in the past. So, why reject this random YouTuber? Well, according to Butler, $100 isn’t enough for him to buy a bottle of wine.
It’s nice to see Jimmy out and about having fun. He deserves it, given how he poured his heart and soul into carrying the Heat to the 2023 Finals. This time, recuperation might do wonders for him, as he will hopefully be rejuvenated by the time the new season kicks off.
