Guys Being Dudes: Jimmy Butler Got Over The NBA Finals Loss By Going To Brazil, Singing Karaoke And Awkwardly Dancing With Neymar

Neymar has been pretty open about being a diehard soccer fan. Dude loves it. Has this connection with Neymar and Brazil, so it all makes sense. But it's more about what Jimmy Butler and Neymar did hanging out. He was there apparently for Neymar's gender reveal party, which all things considered seemed to be a blast! 

But, hey, Jimmy Butler just took a Heat team to the Finals. He was banged up. I even gotta give him credit and think he deserves some well time off. So it starts with a little karaoke: 

If you're going Bieber you better fucking deliver. That said, it feels wrong or at least a lie that Jimmy Butler didn't sing some Hootie and the Blowfish. I mean, stay on brand guy. You can't have a commercial of you singing Hootie and then go Bieber when the bright lights come on. Stick to what brought you there and that's Hold my Hand by Hootie and the Blowfish. That's an elite karaoke song because everyone knows it, even in Brazil. No doubt in my mind people in Brazil still put on some Cracked Rear View and talk about the days of Pele or Roberto Carlos. 

If that's not enough you got Jimmy Butler out here stomping around because he can't dance right:

That one hit a little close to home. Nothing worse than being out of your comfort zone on the dance floor. Gotta stick to the basics. Arms up, a lot of hand movement, sway the hips. Nothing more, nothing less. Otherwise you have guys like Neymar laughing in your face because you keep stomping around. Mind you this is one of the best basketball players in the world. A guy who should be nimble on his feet and he looks uncoordinated. I wouldn't even dare to try this. 

No word on if this was recruiting trip though. Feels like Neymar just wants to go play with Messi and Inter Miami so he can hang out with his boys. I don't blame him. That's a good time. Either way, what a friendship, just guys being dudes.
