We knew that basketball player Jimmy Butler was a big fan of PSG and his duo Kylian Mbappé - Neymar but he also particularly appreciates Paul Pogba and the French football team.
On social networks, the star of the NBA franchise of the Miami Heat posted a photo of him wearing the white jersey of the Blues flocked to the number 6 of Paul Pogba.
This message will undoubtedly comfort "the Pick" which declared Monday evening forfeit for the continuation of the gathering of the team of France because of a lesion of the quadriceps of the right thigh.
Hours earlier, Pogba had limped off the pitch after a strike on goal during a very light inaugural practice.

The meeting between the two friends dates back to 2019. Paul Pogba, absent for several months due to an ankle injury, had taken advantage of an international break to go to the United States and attend a Miami game in the NBA. Jimmy Butler, a football fan, had turned into a luxury guide to show the facilities of the Florida franchise in Pogba. This summer again after the elimination of the Blues against Switzerland in the round of 16 of the Euro, the middle of the Blues had taken the plane to Miami to decompress under the sun of South Beach. The ex-Juventus player then went to the Heat's training room where he made a few baskets.History does not say if Jimmy Butler spoke about PSG to Pogba (at the end of his contract at MU in June 2022) and his desire to see him evolve within the club of the capital next season. Because Jimmy Butler is best known for being a PSG fan. The gold medalist at the 2016 Olympics in Rio was interested in football during this event.
“When I was young, my friends played there, but it wasn't my thing,” he explained in February in an interview with Fifa. I really started to take an interest in it since the 2016 Olympics. I had never watched a pro match. I went to see Neymar and Brazil win ”. Since then, he has not left the Auriverde jersey of the Seleção… In 2017, Butler even wears it in the streets of the French capital, in full Fashion Week. “I don't know how, but we became friends,” added Butler of Neymar, “the best player of all time”. He then swaps the Brazilian tunic for that of the club in the capital. PSG, attentive to the development of its brand, invites it in August 2018 to spend a moment between Parc des Princes and Camp des Loges. The coup is successful. Especially since less than a month after this visit,the “Jordan x PSG” partnership, of which Butler will become an ambassador in 2019, was unveiled. “It was funny because he asked almost as much to pose in picture as the players, tells a witness of the stroll of Butler in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. In these moments, you realize that although they are all millionaires, they remain children who admire themselves. The same year, Butler had posted on social networks his support for PSG in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich, then it was Neymar and Mbappé's turn to do so in 2020 during the NBA final between the Lakers and the Heat.
