Originally from Texas, six-time NBA all-star Jimmy Butler was first drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 2011 and logged time in Minnesota and Philadelphia before landing a spot on the Miami Heat in 2019. They would make it to the NBA finals his first season and Butler, who has earned the nickname “Playoff Jimmy,” was instrumental in getting the Heat there again this year. While Butler’s passion and path is basketball, his interest in sports is certainly not myopic. A longtime soccer acolyte, he has a special place in his heart for PSG (Paris Saint-Germain). He also showed his prowess on the tennis court this summer against Carlos Alcaraz in a US Open charity event. When it comes to gifting, Butler believes in the power of a good accessory, like the diamond earrings he bought himself when he was 18 and the Carhartt Beanie he plans to gift heavily this year.

Can you tell us a bit about your gift pick and why you chose it?

Sometimes I just need to cover up the hair to keep people guessing! That's the whole reasoning for the Carhartt beanie.

What makes this item a standout?

To me everybody has a good head on their shoulders (pun intended) so everybody could use a beanie or five.

Who is definitely getting this gift from you?

I would probably gift it to my brother Fonzo. Because he is balding and just won't let it go. I’m trying to help him out!

Best gift I've ever received…

My kids.

What would be your dream gift if there were no limitations?

I just want to be part owner of PSG. I hope they see this answer and gift me a piece of my club!

What was the first big gift you bought yourself?

Probably when I was about 18 I gifted myself some diamond earrings… mainly so I could go get my ears pierced.

My fondest holiday memory is…

It will always be all about the family gathering for me. Just being able to break bread with my people is a gift.
