BFF Neymar Caught Between Warriors Stars in Jimmy Butler’s Absence

The Warriors won tonight’s matchup against the Heat 113-92 despite the near scare with Draymond Green. But all turned out to be good as he was assessed only a common foul. With tonight’s victory, the Dubs snapped their two-game losing streak, and who else to join the celebration, but soccer superstar Neymar? A close friend of power forward, Jimmy Butler, Neymar was present for the Warriors’ favorable evening.

Although Butler himself was absent due to a non-COVID illness, it didn’t stop Neymar from joining in the happiness of the Warriors’ win. This comes in the wake of Green, Butler, Neymar, and Gui Santos’s day out ahead of tonight’s game.

The party of four had gotten together to watch the Miami Open just a day ago. A tennis enthusiast, Butler’s presence at tournaments is no strange sight. But to see such a diverse group together definitely caught the eyes of the public. Rising star Carlos Alcaraz moved to the fourth round of the Miami Open, overcoming Gael Monfils. And Butler just couldn’t leave without having a one-on-one with the winner himself.

Suffice it to say, it was a treat for the crowd and a testimony to Jimmy Butler’s talents. He might not be as adept as Stephen Curry in two sports, but you have to agree that he looked solid in the above presented video. There remains no doubt that Neymar enjoyed the day as much as the rest of the party.

He’s actually pretty good at basketball, too. Actually, now that I think about it, that little motherf***er is good at almost everything,” he admitted.

He was also in awe of how the 32-year-old father of two, handled his Dad duties. Butler said that Neymar always makes it a point to be there for his children.
