Jimmy Butler Square Off (Kinda) Against Carlos Alcaraz

On Wednesday, Butler appeared at a U.S. Open charity event featuring No. 1 ranked Carlos Alcaraz and American tennis star Frances Tiafoe.

Butler worked as part of Tiafoe's ball crew. During the exhibition match, the 6-foot-7 Heat star asked Tiafoe for a celebrity shot, which the American gladly gave to Bulter.

Pitting an NBA star against the world's best tennis player could have ended as a skunk. But Jimmy's too competitive to say die and scored a point on Alcaraz.

Of course, Alcaraz held back when he served to Butler. After returning several shots, Butler finally scored.

Dual-sport athlete? Don't count it out when it comes to Jimmy.
