Jimmy put a lot of effort into getting to know him. Not always the case with these.

also probably helps that this kid is 16, less shy than, say, a 10 year old
Jimmy is a good guy.

CapnKrunk123 I think Jimmy would be the first person I would choose to play with because of his personality. Bron would be cool too but Jimmy is more like me I think.

CapnKrunk123 something you probably didn’t know jimmy was homeless and a foster kid when he was a child and that’s why he’s such a good hearted person because he knows what it’s like to be scared like that.

Yes sir
Just another example that these guys are way more than just athletes, they inspire everyday people and especially kids to strive and fight through adversity
And after ethan left jimmy went to the practice facility and instilled the fear of god into his teammates.

@Lebron James shut the fuck up
Jimmy is currently in the NBA finals against Lebron. Crazy how far he's gone
Ethan goes to my school and we hang out now and again and Idk how but this 9 minute video did a great job capturing his fun, strong, and funny personality. Keep fighting bossman 👌👌

I sure hope Ethan is still winning the fight!
He got to play basketball, eat, drive his escalade, talk, game, and paintball. That's a real experience to cherish. Jimmy is a good dude for going above and beyond. He was already my favorite NBA player and after seeing this that will never change.
Finally an actual good video from espn

I have a ton of respect for jimmy after this vid (not that i didnt before then lol) but the way he treated ethan like a normal kid. Just 2 humans having a good day together. Except one is just a little more famous than the other. That shouldnt be understated. Props to you jimmy, and prayers goes out to ethan and his family to hopefully get through this tough time 🙏
Much respect for Jimmy for doing this.much love/respect man,gl.
Jimmy butler is a good man. God bless this kid too.
These stories are always touching
Big respect to Jimmy Butler

Mad respect to Jimmy Butler you took the time to really hangout with him. Salute to you
This is why we gotta love sports and the players! God bless them!

My heart goes out to the parents. As a parent, it is excruciating to see your child unhappy or in pain. I hope these memorable moments of joy can bring the parents some peace also.
Get well Ethan, you're one tough little homie and much respect Jimmy
I am praying for you Ethan that you get well!
Wish jimmy was still in Chicago

I keep watching these on repeat cause they just make you feel warm inside
Jimmy butler go see him ! I love it !!!! As a MN born and raised boy and a ex cancer patient . I respect that !!
Jimmy has always been my favorite player as well, I'd give anything to meet him. I have SO much respect for him. He had a lot of challenges to overcome to get into the NBA.
Respect to jimmy for this man!
Jimmy is amazing. On and off the court an amazing person 💛
May God bless these kind hearted athlete's.
Ethan is the True UNICORN of basketball!
This was so touching
so inspiring
Awww....Jimmy Butler... Amazing dude...and Ethan may you overcome all medical obstacles... Be tough and stay strong...
I think I am gonna cry! This is so touching! 😭😭😭😭
These videos are the best thing ever!
I love these segments
What a beautiful thing jimmy did for him. Hope and pray that he can overcome this!
Moments like this you can take stock of your own troubles and hopefully you realise that you don't have it so bad. As Jimmy said it really puts everything in perspective. What a wonderful thing to do for that young lad.
Love seeing stuff like this. Hopefully the time with Jimmy off-camera was just as special for Ethan
Salute to Jimmy for this
Two great guys
Jimmy Butler is a great guy...Minnesota loves him...hope he stays! Ethan Wolves fans send you all our love....even though you are from Wisconsin...stay strong young man!
What a great guy! Ethan had the meeting of a lifetime, this was awesome

Ethan relapsed twice in his brain. He had multiple treatments and finally achieved remission. He is just finishing his second year of college. Jimmy Butler was very gracious that day. Totally focused on Ethan. Total respect for him.

I met jimmy butler 2 years ago at the Bulls center. Very cool dude.
Love jimmy
This was a touching story
Jimmy seems like an athlete that cares tbh. Most athletes meet someone at a site and hang for a bit and that is cool and all but Jimmy went out of his way to invite them to his home and spend quality time with the boy. I've gained respect for him although he isn't on my favorite team!
Jimmy Butler is such a good dude..
Much respect to all the players who do this for kids much respect to Jimmy too
Jimmy went beyond what other athletes do with these sort of things, that’s awesome! He invites the whole family to his house they play and bond and then let’s him drive jimmy to the court to shoot some hoops and then to go paintballing! That’s awesome!
That dude is awesome
Awesome video

Its crazy how I’ve seen this guy sitting in the HVH student section my years of playing basketball and now seeing this
