Jimmy Buckets, but make it business. 🏀⚽ ⁣ ⁣ Six-time NBA All-Star Jimmy Butler has officially joined NWSL’s San Diego Wave FC as a minority investor — the latest big-name athlete to back women’s soccer. 💪⁣ ⁣ Butler, 36, says soccer’s been a “passion for a long time,” dating back to watching Neymar’s gold medal win at the 2016 Rio Olympics. 👀⁣ ⁣ Now, the Golden State Warrior is investing in a club “pushing boundaries” and “setting a new standard for what women’s sports can be.” 📈⁣ ⁣ The move makes sense: Butler owns property near San Diego and even runs his coffee brand BIGFACE out of the city. ☕⁣ ⁣ Joining a star-studded ownership group that includes Alex Morgan, Butler brings his signature competitiveness — and maybe a caffeine boost — to a Wave team fresh off a 2024 Challenge Cup win and another playoff berth. 🤝⁣ ⁣ We love to see it. 🏆 #thegist⁣ ⁣ #sportsbiz #soccer #basketball #womenssports #investment #jimmybutler
