Six-times NBA All Star Jimmy Butler said he is excited about Lionel Messi's move to Inter Miami and that the Argentine World Cup winner will do a lot of good for U.S. soccer.
Messi, 35, announced on Wednesday he plans to take his talent to South Beach after his contract with French champions Paris St Germain expires at the end of this month. Butler, who has led the Heat to their second NBA Finals in four years, said his arrival will be a real boost for Miami. "He's one of the greatest players to play that beautiful game," Butler told reporters on Thursday."I'm so excited for the city of Miami, to be able to have a player of that calibre here.
"Now that he is here, I think all the football/soccer fans from all over the world are going to come here and get an opportunity to watch him compete. I'm glad he is here.""Will I reach out? Probably not," Butler said."I know he has probably got a ton of stuff going on anyway ... I know we will link whenever he is here."Source: Reuters
