Could Jimmy Butler be trading in his "Jimmy Buckets" nickname for something football related?
The Bulls star is currently in Rio with USA Basketball going for gold in the Olympics but Butler has also taken some time to show off his skills on the gridiron the last few weeks. In an Instagram video from last week, Butler and USA teammate Klay Thompson caught deep passes while defending one another and it appears that Butler's successful catch over Thompson on a post route has already gone to his head.
In a humorous video interview with ESPN, Butler claims that he could be an NFL wide receiver and immediately compete with some of the best All-Pros in the game.
