NBA star Jimmy Butler is fast-becoming top sports stars' favourite friend
“I’d watched little-league soccer before but never watched a professional game. What better place to watch it than at the Olympics? So we went and watched Neymar and Brazil win. I knew it was going to be crazy because it was Brazil playing in Brazil in the final.
“I knew it was going to be on a completely different level to an American football game or a basketball game. It was a high-level game and the crowd was just so into it. It felt like nobody ever sat down, nobody was ever quiet. “It made me love the game and my curiosity about soccer grow a lot. From then on out, I have loved Brazilian soccer. Neymar’s been one of my favourite players ever since.And linked up with Kylian Mbappe“I love PSG, but I’m really a fan of players. Neymar’s at PSG, Pogba’s with Man U – he’s another I’m really close with – so I watch their games. I always try to watch the games, and if I can’t watch the games, I’m always checking in on the scores.
“I pay attention to Barcelona because of [Antoine] Griezmann. Man City, because one of my best friends, that’s his favourite team. And I kind of have to watch Liverpool, just because they’re so, so good right now. So I keep up with a lot of different teams.”Emma RaducanuButler was recently seen offering Raducanu support in her battle back from injury, and has even called her ‘one of my favourite athletes’ alongside Serena Williams.
