Jimmy put a lot of effort into getting to know him. Not always the case with these.

@ryanschroer 5 лет назад

We don't see everything that goes on with these.

@altie29 4 года назад

also probably helps that this kid is 16, less shy than, say, a 10 year old

@njr5698 4 года назад

And after ethan left jimmy went to the practice facility and instilled the fear of god into his teammates.

@wbrady3955 4 года назад

Lmao

@CapnKrunk123 5 лет назад

Jimmy is a good guy.

@leroyrodgers6089 5 лет назад

CapnKrunk123 I think Jimmy would be the first person I would choose to play with because of his personality. Bron would be cool too but Jimmy is more like me I think.

@adamcrowe728 5 лет назад

CapnKrunk123 something you probably didn’t know jimmy was homeless and a foster kid when he was a child and that’s why he’s such a good hearted person because he knows what it’s like to be scared like that.

Just another example that these guys are way more than just athletes, they inspire everyday people and especially kids to strive and fight through adversity

@brendanprimus3211 4 года назад

man that's cool that jimmy actually had him at the house, you can really tell he cares, not just a photo op

@ladon1468 5 лет назад

Great story! I always knew Jimmy butler to be a good dude, and have always respected him for it. I hope Ethan pulls thru.

Ethan goes to my school and we hang out now and again and Idk how but this 9 minute video did a great job capturing his fun, strong, and funny personality. Keep fighting bossman 👌👌

@zerooneonetwothree1872 Год назад

I sure hope Ethan is still winning the fight!

@Martin-jm6gq 3 года назад

Jimmy is currently in the NBA finals against Lebron. Crazy how far he's gone

@johnlukach4091 5 лет назад

He got to play basketball, eat, drive his escalade, talk, game, and paintball. That's a real experience to cherish. Jimmy is a good dude for going above and beyond. He was already my favorite NBA player and after seeing this that will never change.

@uGotToBeTheDumbest 5 лет назад

Big respect to Jimmy Butler

@thatboitaiga 5 лет назад

I have a ton of respect for jimmy after this vid (not that i didnt before then lol) but the way he treated ethan like a normal kid. Just 2 humans having a good day together. Except one is just a little more famous than the other. That shouldnt be understated. Props to you jimmy, and prayers goes out to ethan and his family to hopefully get through this tough time 🙏

@savedbychristjesus2944 5 лет назад

@DGamBrz 5 лет назад

Moments like this you can take stock of your own troubles and hopefully you realise that you don't have it so bad. As Jimmy said it really puts everything in perspective. What a wonderful thing to do for that young lad.

@f58534 5 лет назад

Incredible episode.... Jimmy fan here

@OckyPotty 5 лет назад

Jimmy seems like an athlete that cares tbh. Most athletes meet someone at a site and hang for a bit and that is cool and all but Jimmy went out of his way to invite them to his home and spend quality time with the boy. I've gained respect for him although he isn't on my favorite team!

@khaledomar8292 5 лет назад

respect to jimmy

@danielescobedo3723 5 лет назад

Jimmy went beyond what other athletes do with these sort of things, that’s awesome! He invites the whole family to his house they play and bond and then let’s him drive jimmy to the court to shoot some hoops and then to go paintballing! That’s awesome!

@henrysoto2546 5 лет назад

Can we get an update on Ethan?

@gregwhitney8010 2 года назад

Ethan relapsed twice in his brain. He had multiple treatments and finally achieved remission. He is just finishing his second year of college. Jimmy Butler was very gracious that day. Totally focused on Ethan. Total respect for him.
