Jimmy Butler made his presence known on the court this week.
The tennis court, that is.
The Miami Heat star has been at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York during the past week for the US Open, where he's taken advantage of his time off from the NBA.
Butler served as an honorary ball boy during the "Stars of the Open" charity exhibition match between Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe last week. Even with two of the sport's biggest stars sharing a court, Jimmy Buckets stole the show by winning a point against Alcaraz.

He's been on a roll since then and even shared a video highlighting his training with an Instagram post captioned "professional ball crewer," where Serena Williams and Neymar are among the commenters supporting his new endeavor.
When he was taking a break from the court, Butler took in the action from the stands alongside actress and musician Queen Latifah.

And at Alcaraz's match on Monday -- where he looked just as impressed as the rest of us.
