Amid the stress and busyness of the NBA Playoffs series, Jimmy Butler still took some time to send emotional support to the family of his former Minnesota Timberwolves teammate Tyus Jones.

Jimmy Butler left a clear mark in the Philadelphia 76ers’ 116-95 victory over the Toronto Raptors in Game 3 of the Eastern NBA Playoffs series last Friday. Excellent at both ends of the court, the striker wearing shirt number 23 almost achieved a triple-double with 22 points along with 9 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals.

On a sublime day of play for the Sixers, under Jimmy Butler’s feet were a pair of bright pink Air Jordan 32 Lows. Sometimes NBA players still like to wear unique color combinations on the court to express their personality, but these pink shoes of Jimmy have a very special meaning.

Jimmy Butler’s message: “Mama Jones, we will fight together”

On Jimmy Butler’s shoes is a message and its meaning is moral support for Ms. Debbie, the mother of Butler’s former Minnesota Timberwolves teammate Tyus Jones.

In a recent share of Tyus on social networks, he informed his fans that his beloved mother was diagnosed with malignant breast cancer. This is what makes many people feel sad, including my close friend Jimmy Butler.

To mentally support Ms. Debbie as well as Tyus Jones’ family, Butler searched through the shoe cabinet and found this pair of Air Jordan 32 Low in “Hot Pink” colorway. In the US, pink is often chosen to symbolize breast cancer prevention campaigns, enough to see how carefully Jimmy Butler calculated this shoe choice.

Recognizing Jimmy Butler’s actions, Tyus Jones, on behalf of his family and mother Debbie, shared his thanks via social network Instagram:

Many players today are often caught up in the busyness of the NBA Playoffs. In the most stressful arena of the season, it is not easy to see meaningful actions like what Jimmy did for the Jones family. Although this is just a very simple operation, the impact that Butler brings with these special shoes is enormous.

In his next appearance, Jimmy Butler and his teammates will enter Game 4 against the Toronto Raptors in a match taking place on Monday morning, May 6. The series score is currently 2-1 with the lead in favor of the Philadelphia 76ers.
