Jimmy put a lot of effort into getting to know him. Not always the case with these.
We don't see everything that goes on with these.
also probably helps that this kid is 16, less shy than, say, a 10 year old
And after ethan left jimmy went to the practice facility and instilled the fear of god into his teammates.
Lmao
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
jimmy g buckets the g stands for good guy
KingMamba LA W
man that's cool that jimmy actually had him at the house, you can really tell he cares, not just a photo op
Great story! I always knew Jimmy butler to be a good dude, and have always respected him for it. I hope Ethan pulls thru.
He actually pretty good
slime kyyo I no right
@Lebron James shut the fuck up
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.
Jimmy is currently in the NBA finals against Lebron. Crazy how far he's gone
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 🙏
Finally an actual good video from espn
Know Kawaki haha
Much respect for Jimmy for doing this.much love/respect man,gl.
they need to sign ethan for a 3 yr contract for 78million
💯
Yea
if parsons has a 25mil contract i think ethan can have a super max.
Bruh knicks star player
Big respect to Jimmy Butler
Jimmy butler is a good man. God bless this kid too.
These stories are always touching
Jimmy let him drive the whip tho!! thats dope af
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!
Alexander Morel amen
Thank you Jimmy, this is worth than any point you scored.😊😊
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.
Jimmy the man, bet he does this without cameras aswell
Pordext he does this stuff all the time on his UA-cam channel
Wish jimmy was still in Chicago
DosikMosik MC thought Ethan would talk trash to Jimmy about leaving Chicago lol.
Yeah but we won the trade but hopefully kyrie and butler come to Chicago
Unleash 10 yeah I like Lauri
Jack G. Whose ethan
Jack G. Oh shit my b lmao I watched this vid a while ago
Get well Ethan, you're one tough little homie and much respect Jimmy
Watching these videos are as uplifting as they are heartbreaking! I can't imagine what these kids and their parents are going through. my heart goes out to them all!
When it comes to dominos, jimmy doesnt care, he wanna win lol
Ethan's a blessing, praying for you Ethan! And jimmy buckets is a great dude 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Jimmy butler go see him ! I love it !!!! As a MN born and raised boy and a ex cancer patient . I respect that !!
I am praying for you Ethan that you get well!
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.
Epic man. Best wishes to Ethan and his family ❤️
Respect to jimmy for this man!
Ethan is the True UNICORN of basketball!
Being honest, I cried as soon they found about having brain tumor.
Great player, great guy.
These videos are the best thing ever!
Jimmy is amazing. On and off the court an amazing person 💛
Love seeing stuff like this. Hopefully the time with Jimmy off-camera was just as special for Ethan
What a great guy! Ethan had the meeting of a lifetime, this was awesome
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!
Awesome to see that both are enyoing themselves. Great to see the respect Jimmy shows to Ethan.
Awww....Jimmy Butler... Amazing dude...and Ethan may you overcome all medical obstacles... Be tough and stay strong...
This is why we love Jimmy
I keep watching these on repeat cause they just make you feel warm inside
Salute to Jimmy for this
That boy needed his wish to be fullfilled so hard! It is great to see him happy after what he had to go through and still has to.
I love these segments
Did someone cut up onions? I swear I'm not crying.
What a beautiful thing jimmy did for him. Hope and pray that he can overcome this!
If you comment something negative uu going to hell
This comment is negative, so see you there.
Here I come!
Lol Funny video Begone demon
ur mom gay
sounds good 24hr BBQ!
so inspiring
See, jimmy butler to me seems like such a normal awesome person. He’s freaking nice and great every time you see him
May God bless these kind hearted athlete's.
This was so touching
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.
I cry every time a wish is Granted, But Jimmy Butler is my fav player so I'm crying even harder lol
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!
I think I am gonna cry! This is so touching! 😭😭😭😭
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!
Love how he spent a whole day with him not just a hello and goodbye
Awesome video
I love this one
Incredible episode.... Jimmy fan here
I hope that Ethan will have a safe, happy, peaceful life and that he will recover soon
Jimmy butler you sir have my respect

It's just awesome Jimmy had him at his house, and he took the entire day to spend with him.
Can we get an update on Ethan?
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.
@@gregwhitney8010 real mvp, thanks for updating us
I met jimmy butler 2 years ago at the Bulls center. Very cool dude.
Worms my heart, good luck❤
This awesome! I prayed that he beats cancer and comes back stronger and lives a long life!
That's cool as hell.
Who knew ESPN was capable of making a video that would make me shed a tear :'(
When he said "if my mom and dad are gonna be scared I have to be the one that's not " that fucked me up
IDK why but this is my favorite episode of my wish 🤗
Jimmy Buckets a classy guy.
Anyone else realize at 5:23, Jimmy is holding the football that he brings everywhere?!
Ethan is a bucket 🏀
This just made me a big jimmy fan
Ethan and Jimmy are Kings remembered in time
Lol god damn, Jimmy let him drive his Escalade??? 😦😦😦 That’s actually awesome
pulling for this kid
Its crazy how I’ve seen this guy sitting in the HVH student section my years of playing basketball and now seeing this
26 people have no heart beat! Wth! Great job Jimmy, God bless Ethan
Much respect to all the players who do this for kids much respect to Jimmy too
GOD BLESS JIMMY BUTLER! ETHAN THE GOAT!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Future Knick 🙌
