The franchise wanted to give the boy a Heat jersey and an autographed ball, as well as several other team items and the chance to be photographed with some of the players. But the story did not end there.
Jimmy Boulter invited Felipe and his sister Zoe for a heat training session and the next game of the franchise, in a clash that both Argentines would never forget. Because not only did he experience the victory of his idol, Butler went out in search of both of them after the match.
On Tuesday, this fan drove 4,405 miles to see Jimmy Butler play, only to find out he was inactive.

“To be honest, I was devastated. I don’t like it and I don’t want to miss the match. I’m glad I met him and could talk to him. He’s a big fan of basketball, he plays it himself. He does everything, skates, surfs, he’s an amazing kid. I’m glad we got to spend some time together, ”said Jimmy Butler after everything happened.
