Jimmy Butler freaks out in public and J Balvin is the main responsible for it

Jimmy Butler is enjoying life to the fullest with some of his famous friends, but the fun can sometimes be scary for the NBA star.

The former Marquette Golden Eagle standout needed a fresh start after his tenure with the Miami Heat soured midseason, leading to his arrival to the Golden State Warriors.

Butler is still searching for his first Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy as he will enter his 15th regular season next October, and one of the best teams that can help him achieve just that is Golden State, where an aging Stephen Curry and the veteran Draymond Green want to end their careers with a final championship run.

Jimmy Butler freaks out in public

Jimmy Butler was recently spotted celebrating with Colombian actress Sofia Vergara and reggaeton superstar J Balvin at the musician's 40th birthday party in the beautiful hills of Tuscany, Italy. The party was a star-studded celebration that was hosted at the Castello di Velona, an 11th-century fortress turned into a luxury resort.

One of the guests was the famous magician, hypnotis, and content creator Sossam, a Moroccan sensation that delighted J Balvin and the guests with some of his best tricks. One of them involved surprising Jimmy Butler, and not in a pleasant way.

As the NBA baller was holding a playing cards box, Sossam pulled out a small snake out of it, which absolutely freaked out Butler, who jumped out of his chair and fell to the ground. The scene made J Balvin laughed really hard, but seconds later the music superstar helped Jimmy get up, who was cheerful in spite of the fright.

Jimmy Butler feels at home with the Golden State Warriors

Jimmy Butler resonated with the Golden State Warriors' culture and found his joy playing basketball again. He was welcomed with open arms, particularly by the two on-court leaders, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Butler commended the franchise's commitment to its players and how they value health and recovery.

Jimmy also valued the relationships he built with his teammates, whom he considers "really good dudes" both on and off the court. On the court, Butler's impact was felt in multiiple ways - the Warriors had the league's best defense since he arrived and drastically improved their free-throw volume and efficiency.

This offseason, Jimmy Butler desires to learn even more about his teammates outside of basketball, which he believes will help as they build on-court chemistry heading into next season. The main goal is winning an NBA championship and bring glory back to the Bay Area.
