Jimmy Butler Bets Kid 10K On A Shot, Kid Sinks It

Jimmy Butler challenges kid to make a one-handed three point shot and wins $10,000 for his school.

When challenges like this are on the table, it's tough not to wonder whether the party offering the money actually believes in you or really, really doesn't. Either way, Chicago Bulls guard Jimmy Butler offered to donate $10,000 to the Phoenix Military Academy if one of the students made a three-pointer with one hand.

The kid had three attempts to make the shot, but succeeded in sinking it on the first try; and the crowd, justifiably enough, goes wild. Considering Butler had already donated 10 G's after making his own one-handed three-pointer, it is safe to assume he is a genuine guy with money to give and was not muttering thinks, "Fuck, where's my checkbook?" after this clutch kid iced his shot. Butler wrote a big check to a school that deserves it, and a fearless teenager enjoys some newfound and well-deserved popularity. Everyone wins.
