Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler has proven that his desire to win an NBA championship has its limits. In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated’s Rohan Nadkarni, Butler was asked if he would give up drinking coffee in exchange for a championship. His response was a resounding “Hell no.”
Butler’s love for coffee is well-known, and he has even ventured into the business side of it with his BigFace coffee brand. In an interview with Fast Company’s Christopher Cason, he expressed his goal of not only selling coffee but creating a specialty brew that could be worth $100 per cup.
However, Butler’s competitive nature is equally impressive, especially when it comes to the NBA playoffs. He always steps up when the pressure is on.
Interestingly, Butler revealed that his love for coffee sometimes fuels his performance on the court. He shared with Nadkarni that he consumed between seven and nine cups of cappuccino before his incredible 56-point game against the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of last year’s playoffs.
It’s clear that Butler’s passion for both coffee and winning is undeniable, and he’s willing to find a balance between the two as he continues to strive for NBA success.
