Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat, through his agent Bernard Lee, recently answered to a message on social media that questioned Butler’s next destination.
Although Jimmy Butler, a top player for the Miami Heat, is one of the NBA’s most formidable postseason performances, much of his interests are off the court.
With his coffee company and writing songs and albums for country music, it’s safe to assume that the 34-year-old forward will have much to do when he retires. But it looks like a lot of it will happen out of sight from the public.
Bernard Lee, Butler’s agent, recently responded to an article that asked whether the veteran will consider acting in the fut
ure.
“I can remove the guess work for you… his next stop will be the crib… once he’s done,” Lee posted on X. He will not be seen again.”
Butler’s apparent preference to stay out of the spotlight is understandable, as he has led one of the league’s biggest-market teams to multiple Finals appearances. Since 2020, the Heat have made two improbable runs but fallen short to the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets.
This season, Butler is averaging 21.5 points and 5.6 rebounds on 50.1 percent shooting. Individual accolades no longer consume his interest; rather, bringing a championship home to the city of Miami is his lone goal.
Heat fans are hoping that Butler’s retirement remains out of the picture, but his more than a decade of hard work could lead him to explore other interests sooner than expected.
