Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat may be in the middle of a very interesting playoff run at the moment and all that. However, let’s put a pause on that for a second. Michelob Ultra is a rather famous brewing company in the United States, being amongst the most successful beer distributors and sellers in the country. And of course, with all that money and success, come the resources to employ some massive NBA and WNBA stars just to market their already famous beer. And so, they decided to pit Jimmy Butler against Nneka Ogwumike against each other in the best kind of 1v1 battle for an advertisement. And suffice it to say, it did not disappoint.

Jimmy Butler and Nneka Ogwumike participate in a hilarious 1v1 featuring some refreshing Michelob Ultras
Jimmy Butler and Nneka Ogwumike are both deeply competitive individuals. So, when it comes to absolutely anything, it was obvious that the two were always going to go back and forth with each other on absolutely anything. And so, while they did not face off against each other in a basketball, they did have a little 1v1 in a little roast battle. Take a look at the YouTube video by Michelob Ultra below.
“You know you have a highlight reel of air balls”
We won’t lie, while we do think Nneka Ogwumike put up a good fight, we do think Jimmy Butler won this one. After all, not only was he instantly able to accept his flaws, but was even able to roll with the punches, and spike it all down when he got the opportunity. But then again, it really depends on who is judging. Though, we will also say, upon searching for a highlight reel of Ogwumike’s air balls on YouTube, we somehow couldn’t even find one.
When will Jimmy Butler return?
Jimmy Butler was, unfortunately, unable to play against the New York Knicks in game 2 due to an ankle injury he picked up. As per CBS Sports, it does seem to be an ankle sprain, so the hope is that it isn’t very serious whatsoever. However, it is hard to see the man returning to the lineup before game 4.
