I wouldn't have known the answer either. Even with the photo ...

Nope, I didn't know either. But I wouldn't call myself a sports fan. Even after they gave the answer I didn't know who he was.

I only follow baseball, never heard of this player. I don't think this as shocking of news as the internet seems to making it out to be...

Insanely popular? Possibly in certain circles. I've never heard of him. From the pic, he seems on the younger side, so maybe he will be insanely popular by the end of his career?

I am a sport fan and I did not know the answer. I knew the face, but not the name. He is not a NBA super star and he is not playing for a high profile NBA team. IMO.
He plays for the Miami Heat now and had a fantastic season and playoff run, although Lebron and the Lakers defeated them 4 games to 2 in the finals.

He’s actually an interesting guy. Butler is quite a coffee connoisseur. If you recall, the NBA was in the bubble in DisneyWorld. He was not too pleased with the coffee selection at the hotel So he ended up buying his own espresso machine and having it shipped to his room. Of course the other players wanted a good cup of coffee, too, so Butler became a barrista, and charged $20/cup. It’s okay. They can afford it. More on that here.

thank you for the coffee story. I do enjoy "hey, maybe I'll start a business" stories. $20/cup sounds like the kind of funding that every startup could use!

Insanely Famous Athletes are LeBron, Shaq, Jordan, Tiger, Serena, Brady, Rogers. This guy, not so much.

I didn't know that and I am an NBA fan. Jimmy Butler is a great player, but if you asked me some kind of question about a player on the World Series losing team I wouldn't be able to answer it, because I can't tell you right now who won or lost the 2020 World Series.

I'm an NBA fan. But quite frankly, on a list of things that are important to know in life, or that would rise to the level of causing me to be "shocked" not to know, this would have to be way, way, way down my list! :shrug:

Yes. Notice how you didn't have to give first name and last name for these folks for us to know who they are?
