5 days after Shakira’s revelation about her kids’ love for Jimmy Butler & the Miami Heat, the NBA icon applauds the Heat superstar’s character.

In the wake of the Miami Heat’s stellar playoff run, Jimmy Butler found himself in the midst of another whirlwind: dating rumors involving global pop sensation Shakira.

These rumors have persisted for months even after the playoffs concluded, yet neither party has officially addressed them. Amidst this ongoing speculation, Shakira recently shared her children’s affection for the Miami Heat during an interview. Adding fuel to the fire, an NBA legend has now stepped forward to commend the Heat’s superstar.

Following her breakup with Gerard Pique, Shakira relocated to Miami. Since her move, the “Waka Waka” singer has been spotted at various sporting events, including one of Lionel Messi’s recent matches after he joined Inter Miami.

However, it appears that Jimmy Butler is the personality who has piqued her interest, with several sources suggesting that the two may have been dating throughout the summer. Jimmy’s magnetic appeal hasn’t just captured Shakira’s attention; it has also earned admiration from an NBA icon.
