The Flamengo brand continues to be well known around the world and has aroused the interest of several athletes, one of them being the NBA star, Jimmy Butler, from the Miami Heat (USA). The star of the competition confirmed his desire to defend the Sacred Mantle before retiring.
"The Miami Heat jersey will be the last one I wear in the NBA, that's for sure. But after that, I really want to play for Flamengo. I tell everyone that I'm half Brazilian", said Jimmy Butler, this Wednesday (08).
JIMMY'S CAREEREven though he hasn't won the NBA title at least once, Jimmy Butler is one of the main players in the North American basketball league. He is considered an "All-Star" and has been called up for the All-Star Game frequently, the last opportunities being in 2020 and 2022. The 34-year-old shooting guard was already champion of the Olympic Games in 2016, in Rio de Janeiro, with the United States.
Jimmy began his career with the Chicago Bulls (USA), where he remained until 2017, when he was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves (USA). Soon after, the player played for the Philadelphia 76ers (USA), before arriving at the Miami Heat.
CURRENT SEASONIn the current season, Jimmy averaged 20.8 points, five rebounds and five assists, in addition to 49% shooting on the court. Thus, the shooting guard was one of those responsible for the Miami Heat's campaign to advance to the NBA playoffs.
HIGH SALARYTo be able to play for Flamengo, Jimmy Butler would have to drastically reduce your salary. This is because the NBA star receives 45.1 million dollars (R$ 230 million at current prices) per season in the current franchise. The player still has two more years on his contract, in which he will receive 48.7 million (R$ 247 million) and 52.4 million (R$ 275 million in 2024/25 and 2025/26.
