Jimmy Butler on his coffee business at the NBA bubble

While talking to ESPN's Rachel Nichols, Butler spoke about how coffee is not easy to find at the NBA bubble in Orlando. Which is why Butler and his French press are provided with his teammates with the required caffeine. "You can't get coffee nowhere here," Butler said in the interview. "So I might bump it up to 30 bucks a cup. People here can afford it." Butler's agenda Bernard Lee confirmed Butler's popular coffee side business.
