Antonio Brown is quite famous for wild moments both on and off the field. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver has always been in the spotlight throughout his career. However, it has been for both right and wrong reasons.

In a recent revelation, NBA Star Jimmy Butler has revealed that he once lost a bet to Antonio Brown and Russell Wilson. The bet was $30,000, and Miami’s star player still owes the money to his NFL counterparts.

Talking about the bet, Jimmy said, “I Still Think I Owe [Antonio Brown] Like $30,000 Because I Made a Bet That I Could Stop Him From Catching the Ball in the Red Zone. You’re Talking About the Best Receiver in the League and Then Russ at Quarterback. I’m Just Saying, if the Raiders Had Me Opposite of Him, You Never Know Where We Could Go.”

It was very obvious that Jimmy would lose that bet. Primarily because AB was at his peak back then, and so was Russell Wilson. However, Jimmy’s never to quit attitude was once again visible just like it has been seen various times in the NBA.

Recently, he and his team were locked in a tough battle with the Boston Celtics. NBA’s Eastern Conference Finals were tied at 1-1, but the Celtics have an advantage as they were able to win a game at Miami’s home court. Jimmy Butler has been phenomenal throughout the playoffs, and he would love to take his team to the NBA finals.
