Throughout the postseason, fans have seen the intense, brimming with competitiveness, and goal-oriented side of Jimmy Butler. The Miami Heat star has had no time, or rather, no motive to be hilarious. He often has the empty, cold look in his eyes – a man invested in the mission of winning a championship. However, that is just the Jimmy Buckets on the court. Outside the parquet floor, there is a different side of the NBA veteran.
In 2019, he made his way to a nearby school in Miami. His hysterical interaction with the kids drove NBA fans mental as the clip started to go viral.

It was in 2019 that the love story between the Miami Heat and Jimmy Butler officially took off. They brought the NBA veteran through a sign and trade from the Philadelphia 76ers. At the time, the move shook the NBA to its core. Butler was thriving alongside Joel Embiid, making it all the way to the Conference Finals. Yet, once again internal issues and clashes led to his departure, and he landed in Vice City.

In his very first practice, head coach Erik Spoelstra was in awe of Butler’s motivation. Showing up at Keiser University as early as 3:30 in the morning, the six-time All-Star solidified his work ethic. The team met hours later for their practice, and veteran guard Goran Dragic discovered Butler’s role as a leader of the forces.
“He was talking a lot. I?m expecting a lot of things from him and from this team.? said The Dragon according to The Palm Beach Post.
But some fans suspected that it wasn’t just where Butler and the Heat first established their thriving chemistry. Around the same time, another clip went viral. After practice, the 33-year-old would unsurprisingly be hounded by students of the institution. However, the sheer size of the crowd led to Butler giving them an important life lesson.
“There’s no way all of y’all out of f*****g class. Go to school!” he yelled to the herd of students that all had their cameras out.
