The American point guard is a great admirer of Argentina, has recognized his interest in soccer and is one of the many fans of Lionel Messi. In addition, weeks ago he fulfilled the dream of an Argentine boy who went to see him in Miami and received a light blue and white flag, which he proudly wore.
During his first days in the country of the southern cone, Butler toured the center of Buenos Aires and was seen walking along the 9 de Julio and Corrientes avenues and visiting classic tourist inns such as the Obelisco and the Plaza de Mayo. To begin with, his sports tour began at the ATP in Buenos Aires, where he watched the semifinal of Carlos Alcaraz -champion of the tournament after defeating Cameron Norrie- and had the pleasure of playing basketball with the Spanish tennis player.
But that was not all. The Heat player tried the mate at the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club in Palermo and met Gabriela Sabatinithe best Argentine tennis player in history.

For the tour of Argentina to be complete, Jimmy closed his circuit in one of the mythical stages. He went to La Bombonera to see Hugo Ibarra’s Boca, who returned to victory against Platense. The basketball player was in one of the boxes along with the xeneizes soccer players who did not concentrate and took as a gift a shirt with the number 22 (the one he wears in Miami) and his last name on the back.
