It’s always great to see that the celebrities and professional athletes we all look up to are just like us… well, sorta.
You might not know who Jimmy Butler is, and that’s okay. Just to catch you up, Butler is a professional basketball player in the NBA and plays for the Miami Heat.
Since 2019, he has been carrying the South Florida team, rejuvenating his career, and jamming out to country music any chance he gets.
For example:
So considering you are reading this on Whiskey Riff, liking country music is probably the first thing you have in common with Butler.
The second way you are probably just like this 34-year-old professional basketball player? Well, that would have to be the fact that Jimmy “Buckets” can hardly believe gas prices nowadays.
What you don’t have in common (probably) is that Jimmy Buckets has significantly more money than all of us.
Let’s be honest, it is costing an arm and a leg to fill up your vehicle’s gas tank right now. Butler was feeling the pain at the pump recently when he posted this video on his Instagram story while he was at a gas station.
Jimmy stopped the pump just shy of 20 gallons of gas, and the price came out to be $145.28, which one could argue is pretty damn expensive.
Once he saw the final price that he would be paying, Butler was beside himself. For a man that is getting paid around $50 million a year to play basketball, the fact that the prices at the pump are too much for him (“Himmy Butler”) is quite concerning.
In the clip, Jimmy clicks off the pump, looks at the price, and starts to unravel:
“This is highway f**king robbery. Man, I’m trying to give some of this gas back. Wow…
Hey, you think if I go in there and tell them I put the wrong gas in here, they would give me a refund? This is crazy. I’m going electric.”
I’d love to see what would happen if Jimmy Butler went into the gas station and asked for a gas refund…
