Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat were sent packing for an early vacation by the Celtics in round one of the NBA playoffs. The Boston side won 4-1 in their series in which Playoff Jimmy could not influence the outcome due to his injury. Now that the season is over, Butler can finally concentrate on the side quests, including being a Bad Boy.
In a recently released trailer of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence’s “Bad Boys: Ride Or Die”, Jimmy Butler made a cameo. Lawrence was seen munching on some chips while talking about the Heat when the newsflash announced that Butler was leaving the Heat. Just then, the doorbell rang, and it was Jimmy Butler who came for an audition to become a Bad Boy.
After failing hilariously in multiple tests, Jimmy gave up on his dream to become a part of the legendary cop duo and returned to Heat. As Smith and Lawrence were making fun of Butler, the doorbell rang again and to their surprise, it was none other than Lionel Messi. The Inter Miami star was left disappointed at the door as the duo shut him down immediately, thwarting his dreams of becoming a Bad Boy.
The movie is set to hit the theatres on June 7 and is the fourth installment of the franchise. Though the superstar duo of Lionel Messi and Jimmy Butler were not seen together in the promo, the two had past runnings together due to their Miami-based professional life.
