Jimmy Butler promised Coco Goff tickets for the NBA Finals starting in April

Coco Goff, a well-known Miami Heat fan, is in Paris attending Roland Garros and told an incredible story that perfectly demonstrates Jimmy Butler’s confidence and the faith he has in his team.

“Now that we’re in the final, I’ll tell you the story. I didn’t see game 7 because I was playing the next day. But when I woke up in the morning, I immediately looked at the result and was relieved.” Before the playoffs, Butler offered me tickets to the last home game of the regular season. After a while he texted me and asked if I wanted more tickets for the postseason, but I told him I wouldn’t be in Miami. I wanted to go to Madrid, then Rome and then France (per person for the tournament).

Then he said, “If we go to the finals, tell me if your family needs tickets.” That was before we got to the playoffs. Before we lost to the Hawks in the first game of the play-in tournament. Everyone said we had a 3% chance of making the final, but when he told me that I knew we would qualify, he didn’t say ‘if we get to the final’ but ‘when we go’. Now that it’s here, I can tell the story. I remember taking a screenshot and sending it to my family. “I really like his mentality” said the 19-year-old tennis player in detail.
