Jimmy Butler is offering 1v1 matches to kids and parents who dare to confront him as part of his basketball/cheerleading camp.
According to Miami Heat reporter Will Manso’s most recent tweet, Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler is not only organizing a basketball/cheerleading camp but is also providing 1-on-1 matches for both children and parents.
Heat: Jimmy Butler mixes up campers and parents in 1-on-1 contests.
This will happen at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Saturday, August 26, and Sunday, August 27, according to the camp’s website. Registration is $349 and includes the following:
participation at camp on August 26 and 27
Jimmy Butler Celebrity Sports Academy T-shirt
Gatorade/water
Keepsake photo card with an autograph
It will cost you more if you’re insane enough to take on the six-time All-Star. In reality, the price is $699, not including registration, merely to guarantee a game with Jimmy Butler.
This experience can only have three players, according to the website. Additionally, campers who purchase the one-on-one package will also get the following in addition to sharing the hardwood with Butler:

The entire situation reminds me of NBA Legend Brian Scalabrine’s open one-on-one challenge, which he conducted back in 2011 and was known as the “Scallenge.”
The 6-foot-9 forward competed against any opponent willing to take the challenge, highlighting the stark talent divide between NBA players and recreational hoopers. This eventually gave rise to the famous white mamba remark, “I’m way closer to LeBron than you are to me.” Wow, was he right in that. In the end, Scalabrine defeated his rivals 44-6 over the course of all games.
With all due respect, I could not be paid enough money to defeat a Jimmy Butler who had just led his team to the NBA Finals before losing. That is truly terrifying. Anyone who makes Butler miss should be awarded a two-way contract. Expect Spoelstra to serve at least a 10-day rookie minimum in the case of a defeat.
