Nba star jimmy butler iii receives warm welcome from fans in tsim sha tsui upon arrival in hong kong.

jimmy butler hong kong tour

25th July 2023 – (Hong Kong) On 14th July, Miami Heat’s star player,  Jimmy Butler  III, arrived in China to embark on an 11-day tour of the country. During his visit, he traveled to various cities such as Beijing, Xi’an, Chongqing, and  Guangzhou , to hold fan meet-and-greets at “Li-Ning” brand stores and experience the local customs and cultures. Yesterday, Butler arrived in  Hong Kong  for the final leg of his China tour.

At 4pm yesterday,  Jimmy Butler III attended the “Jimmy Butler Skills Challenge” and received cheers from the entire audience upon his entrance, a testament to his immense popularity. Afterwards, with the audience and Butler as witnesses, the “Jimmy Butler Skills Challenge” concluded successfully, with Chung Chi Ho and Kan winning the men’s and women’s championships, respectively.

Butler was then invited to play in a 4 on 4 game with the participants, fulfilling the dreams of the aspiring basketball players and making the event even more memorable.

Butler was warmly welcomed by fans at the  sports store  in Tsim Sha Tsui. Dozens of fans cheered and shouted when he made his entrance, with some even throwing shoes at him in an attempt to get his autograph. Butler expressed his excitement to meet his fans in Hong Kong and his eagerness to try out some local delicacies.

When asked about the previous season in which he led the Miami Heat to the NBA Finals, Butler said it was a great season overall but that they were all disappointed to come so close to the championship but fall short. He vowed that the  Miami Heat  would be the NBA champions in 2024. Butler also stated that he would do everything possible to win next season, pouring all his emotions into every play and every game, not wanting to disappoint his teammates or fans. He further added that he hopes to still be playing at a high level in five years and to have already won a championship.

Butler is aware that many young basketball players view him as their idol, and he is grateful for the opportunity to inspire them through his journey and experiences. He believes that basketball can motivate people to grow and become examples for others to follow. “So if I can inspire others, I’m very, very happy.”

As for the rest of his offseason, Butler plans to spend time with his children, family, and friends, drinking coffee, and engaging in other sports like rugby and tennis. “Anything that lets me focus on my family is what’s important. The most important thing is to enjoy the coming days and have fun.”

Jimmy Butler: Li-Ning Shoes, China Tour, and ‘Cotton Basketball’

Jimmy butler rounded out his china tour by announcing exclusive new li-ning shoes, and receiving the questionable gift of a ‘cotton basketball’.

jimmy butler hong kong tour

Jimmy Butler, aka Jimmy Buckets, has just rounded out his China tour by unveiling his newest signature shoes with Li-Ning.

Butler took a brief step away from the Miami Heat to complete a ten-day promotional tour. After visits to Beijing, Taiyuan, Xi’an, Chongqing, and Guangzhou, he finished up his mainland route with a stop in rural basketball capital Guizhou.

One clip from his tour went unexpectedly viral when a fan accidentally hit JB in the face with a shoe.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jimmy Butler (@jimmybutler)

Butler was onstage autographing sneakers for fans at a Li-Ning event in Taiyuan, when an audience member tossed a shoe up to be signed, accidentally bouncing it off the NBA player’s face (slide 5 above).

Butler was clearly startled, but quickly laughed it off, signed the shoe, and returned it to its owner.

“Probably my favorite part about the whole thing,” he joked later on Instagram.

On this trip, Jimmy Butler became the first ever NBA player to visit Guizhou, the capital of China’s ‘rural basketball’ movement. Guizhou is the birthplace of an iconic basketball tournament called ‘CunBA’ — cun , literally meaning ‘village,’ and ‘BA’ as in ‘NBA.’

There, thousands gathered to watch Butler dunk. After chatting with fans, he received a cotton basketball as a symbolic gift from 81-year-old Lu Dajiang at an elementary school.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by ALL IN LIVE (@allinlivee)

The gift sparked some controversy online, where some audiences questioned if cotton was really the right gift for a black basketball player from the US.

“Butler looks unsure about the cotton in his hand,” reads one comment .

“His face is like, hmmmm...” another user replied.

Others, however, defended the gift and rebuked any historical interpretations.

“Our cotton is a symbol of the wisdom, diligence and simplicity of the working people,” wrote one user. “It has nothing to do with blood, tears and oppression. This gift is good!”

“Those histories have nothing to do with us,” wrote another. “But if a white person gave JB that gift, he’d definitely be pissed.”

After his visit, Butler visited Hong Kong, stopping in the industrial/residential center of San Po Kong to play alongside fans, and to dole out some free Li-Ning shoes to winners of the skills contest.

“Always give all you have doing what you love,” he said. “Never, ever let anyone tell you what you can or you cannot do.”

Jimmy Butler is changing the game by focusing on everything else

2020 NBA Rerstart - All-Access

Artists do it. I think of a place like New York City’s Chelsea Hotel through the 1950s, 60s and 70s, with every musician, visual artist and writer you think of as formative to those decades, plus Al Pacino, living there for a time. I also think of Andy Warhol’s migrating studios, spaces that came to be known collectively as The Factory for how many artists and performers produced work and riffed off (or ripped off) one another as they went through. As different as they all were, what they had in common — especially as they ascended through the various stages of stardom — was creative and personal expansion. They worked to broaden their worlds in order to enrich them, to cultivate an understanding that went well beyond their own honed talents.

Watching Jimmy Butler spend his summer squinting in the stands at the U.S. Open , confident enough to stand in as a ballboy or serve against his friend , Carlos Alcaraz, then hop in a prop plane out to a rural coffee farm in the Brazilian Highlands, is to observe the same impulse.

What’s notable about Butler’s broad-mindedness, beyond his personality (and more specifically as a pro athlete), is that it’s a deviation from the narrowing scope we expect of our superstars.

Aside from a handful of exceptions (with the caveat that female pro athletes who exhibit a singular focus on their sport are still deigned selfish, cold, fractious, uncompromising, etc.), we insist on zen-like, obsessive focus from athletes. Look no further than the genuine turmoil Nikola Jokic caused — is still causing — because he’s said a handful of times he prefers to spend his summers at home , doing the thing that offseasons are for and taking time off.

Take a cursory glance in the comments under any NBA athlete’s Instagram posts and find scores of people scolding a perfect stranger that they ought to be in the gym, even if the photo is of that person in a gym. And the most touted prototype came from Kobe Bryant’s self-made mythology of reinventing himself into a brooding workaholic. A performance predicated on him tuning out distractions, which was the way he came to refer to being charged with felony sexual assault . ‘Mamba Mentality’ has since become a brand and colloquialism signaling the benefits of turning inward.

Mainstream sports fandom mixed with the heady desperation and pressures of late-stage capitalism has created a kind of consumption that’s at best misplaced projection and at worst, a surveillance state with grindset as ideology. We’re happiest, it sometimes seems, only when our favorite athletes are miserable.

Butler smashes that state. His life off the court, at least what we get to see, is rife with self-effacing and hyper-genuine moments. His emo bangs this past media day and the resulting photo that will be imposed on broadcasts all season may be the most iconic, but his globetrotting curiosity and earnest detours aren’t just the motions of a wealthy athlete fulfilling sponsorship obligations. Butler’s Instagram stories oscillate between him popping up in tiny coffee shops wherever he is in the world (Hong Kong, Toronto, Paris, Memphis), screenshots of songs he’s listening to, ubiquitous games of dominoes in his backyard, photos he takes while walking around cities the Heat are on the road in and, occasionally, in-game stills. The disruption of basketball is useful not as a reminder of what Butler is best known for to most people, but how open and integrated basketball is in relation to the rest of his life.

NBA: Miami Heat-Media Day

On the floor, Butler’s expansive. He takes everything we think we know about what a single-minded competitor should do and, like so many coffee beans , grinds those ideas to dust. He’ll put up 30+ points and still pull down double-digit rebounds or dish out a dozen assists, or frequently both. A quiet shooting night might have him honed to the ball in other ways, plucking or pressuring steals from your favorite shooters’ hands when they in turn get a little too zeroed in, and forget about Butler and his birds-eye view of the game. He’s as much a master of waiting for the exact moment of no return — coolly composed as he sinks, somehow while falling backwards onto the court , the shot that pushes Game 5 in a playoff series to an overtime win — as he is of running right up to the moment and enthusiastically meeting it, then introducing it around.

Butler’s downplayed and denied the existence of “Playoff Jimmy”, the title given to the extra gear he seems to shift into when the postseason rolls around. The rejection makes sense when to watch Butler, no matter the game, is to see an easy idling. Will he flash by the baseline and torque the ball up and behind him for a no-look make? Does he wedge his body between two defenders planted in the paint and suddenly create a valley of space for himself to shoot? Or does he lift, lackadaisically and like he saw it coming a mile away, for the full-palm block? And then there are the no-look passes, the hope-severing cuts, the drives, the deep-corner threes, a plethora of endless options to pull while he waits, deciding which one he hasn’t done in a while.

Butler’s breadth makes the most sense if you consider his career up to now, where he pleaded with every team he played for to let him do more.

Way back with the Bulls, urging Tom Thibodeau and then Fred Hoiberg to let him lead the team, appealing to Gar Forman to build it around him and being traded for his efforts. With Minnesota, asking for a lot more than his teammates at the time were willing to give, then in Philadelphia, where he was hardly asked to do anything because Elton Brand’s Sixers were still processing.

Butler spent seasons trying to do the work he wanted to do, likely going over all the ways he would if he could. Miami, with its live-eat-breathe Heat Culture, is a lot like a purpose-built artist commune. There might not be fugue state writing free-for-alls or turpentine fumes hanging in the air, but as we’ve seen over these last few seasons, playing with the Heat has been the green light for Butler to finally floor it. To expand, to lead, to use his talents to build and flourish instead of narrowing his focus. To joyfully go out in every direction he was once denied.

"Biggest finals choker in the league" – Jimmy Butler catches flak from NBA fans for predicting Heat to win 2023-24 Finals

J immy Butler isn't shy in letting others know what he thinks about certain things, even if his opinion is far different from others. Recently, he was interviewed about his thoughts on which team would win the Larry O'Brien trophy next season. His answer caused fans to make fun of him.

Butler chose the Miami Heat as champions for the upcoming 2023-24 NBA season. This came after the Heat fell against the Denver Nuggets in six games in June.

"I am going to pick the Heat to win the championship in 2024," Butler said.

Naturally, he chose the team he's playing for as the champions, but that didn't go well with the fans. They quickly brought up the fact that he's lost two finals now and even went as far as calling him a "choker." Here are some of the best reactions from the fans.

@LegionHoops @SCMPNews Impossible he's the biggest finals choker in the league
@LegionHoops @SCMPNews He smoking crack
@LegionHoops @SCMPNews He supposed to say that even bradon miller picked the hornets
@LegionHoops @SCMPNews Post finals stats from last season 😭😭😭
@LegionHoops @SCMPNews Jimmy Butler doesn't know ball lol
@LegionHoops @SCMPNews This guy is so funny 😂😂😂
@LegionHoops @SCMPNews They beat nothing but injured teams we aren't impressed
@LegionHoops @SCMPNews 0-2 in the finals ☠️☠️
@LegionHoops @SCMPNews Bro thinks he's him during regular season and playoffs combined💀 pic.twitter.com/aFWX9kvZwt
@LegionHoops @SCMPNews Bro breaks more promises than every politician combined
@LegionHoops @SCMPNews Bro couldn't even win twice in the finals and he thinks he's getting 4
@LegionHoops @SCMPNews This is the same guy who almost blew a 3-0 lead in the conf finals 😂

With the Heat trying their best to acquire Damian Lillard, Butler's words might come true. So far, there has been no movement with the trade as the Portland Trail Blazers have been picky with the offers that Miami has given them. It might take a while for the trade to come to fruition and make Jimmy's dreams into reality.

Jimmy Butler visited Hong Kong to end his summer tour

Jimmy Butler doesn't shy away from giving back to his fans and those who have supported him in his journey in the NBA. This year is no different. The six-time All-Star took time to visit his fans and ended his summer tour in Hong Kong.

While in Hong Kong, he had the chance to share the court with the fans. The youth showcased their talents in front of the NBA star.

"I love the fact that the youth look up to me," Butler said. "But more than anything, I just love to see the young having fun, loving the game of basketball, playing it for all of the right reasons. And that's just to bring a smile to your face.
"So, the fact that they know and think that I can make that happen even at 33 years of age, it's a blessing for anyone to look up to me."

Prior to his arrival in Hong Kong, Butler was on an 11-day trip in China. The Heat star promoted the Chinese brand, Li-Ning, which he has been associated with for some time now.
