This next one shouldn’t shock you then.

Jimmy Butler Considers Himself A “Video Vixen”

For immediate background, Jimmy Butler is from Tomball, Texas. He loves to wear his cowboy boots and sings Hall and Oates word for word.

With that in mind, this next fact shouldn’t surprise you that much. Not only does he love country music but he’s good friends with country music superstar, Luke Bryan.

Described as a “really great friend” by Butler, Jimmy was in Bryan’s music video for his song “Light It Up”. Jimmy was so elated by the process that he now willingly and jovially refers to himself as a “video vixen”.

Well, there’s that. In case that isn’t enough though, there’s a good bit more.

He Does Indeed Plan To Open A Coffee Shop, Maybe

During the NBA Bubble situation, the Miami Heat’s best player opened a new business venture. From his room at his Disney lodging, he saw a hole in the market and decided to fill it.

It was then that “Big Face Coffee” was born. Not only was he attacking a market that he could immediately corner, as the coffee was said to be less than poor in the bubble but he had the advantage over his potential clientele, which meant that he could dictate most everything.

He had the best coffee to offer and he was dealing with super wealthy athletes. This amounted to him charging $20 dollars a cup, no matter the brew and no matter the size.

Here is what Jimmy had to say on his experience in the Bubble with Big Face.

"“I really thought that I could dive into being a coffee connoisseur and, one day, opening my own coffee shop, so I learned how to run a business out of a hotel room and how to make all the different types of coffee.”"

Needless to say, the man knows how to turn a profit. Maybe you’ll see his mug on a Big Face cup near you soon?
