Apart from his dominating presence on the court, fans know Miami Heat‘s Jimmy Butler as a very funny guy off the court, who is known for saying and doing the most random things; it often looks like he is in a world of his own. He has his way of interacting with fans too. In a recent incident, Butler was involved in a hilarious exchange of words with a fan who was sitting courtside.

During games, interactions between the players and fans more than often take the spotlight, because we just never know what to expect.  Butler’s lighthearted discussion with the courtside fan revolved around mortgage payments and had online fans in stitches. It showed the lighthearted side of professional basketball, which otherwise tends to get pretty serious.

Courtside affording fan failing on mortgage payment?

The video uploaded on Instagram showed Jimmy by the courtside and a fan, who had probably put his money into the game, requesting him to make a three so that he could pay his mortgage. “20 man, score for me. Jimmy, I gotta pay my mortgage,” the fans said. An unbothered Jimmy replied, “I paid mine. I bought my house cash.”

The fan who could afford front-row tickets to the game, begging Jimmy to “Make this 3 for real. I need this money,” to pay the mortgage does not sit right with the fans, who are confused as to why he would buy courtside tickets if he has pending mortgage to pay. A fan commented, “He can’t be that broke if he has court side seats.”
