According to Spotrac, Butler has made $263.2 million during his NBA career, so it's safe to say he can afford to make these fans' day.

The Marquette product has been in the NBA since the 2011-12 campaign and has played for the Chicago Bulls, Minnesota Timberwolves, Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat throughout his career.

He is under contract with Miami for the 2024-25 campaign with a player option for 2025-26, but his future with the team has been very much under the spotlight this offseason.

If he does end up on a different team this offseason, his new teammates will have to keep something in mind for flights during road trips. Butler is apparently quite the poker player and would probably have plenty of success in team-wide games.
