Jimmy Butler told tennis star Coco Gauff his Miami Heat would reach NBA Finals

Firstpost  

Coco Gauff said Jimmy Butler offered her tickets to see the Heat’s last regular-season game in early April and offered the Finals tickets as well. To hear tennis star Coco Gauff tell it, basketball star Jimmy Butler assured her his Miami Heat would make it to the NBA Finals before they were guaranteed of so much as participating in the playoffs. Before the French Open began, 2022 runner-up Gauff — who lives in South Florida and is an avid Heat fan, one who uses the pronoun “we” when talking about the team — mentioned that she had “a funny story about Jimmy Butler, but I’m going to save it” until Miami was done playing in the Eastern Conference finals. “So that’s my ‘Jimmy Butler story.’ He pretty much said we were going to the Finals before we even qualified for the playoffs, and I just really like that mentality.” Butler helped Miami eliminate the higher-seeded Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks and then the Celtics.
