Butler bought Heat teammates a gourmet dinner for his birthday
Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler celebrated his 31st birthday Monday, but he was the one doing the gifting.
ESPN's Mark Jones shared that Butler isn't a fan of birthdays, so he had his personal chef prepare dinner for his teammates.

His chef prepared it.
Jimmy dislikes his birthday so he had his @MiamiHEAT teammates come in,get the delicious food,take it to their rooms and eat. “I love y’all..let’s get this ring”.#HEATTwitter
While Butler may not like his birthday, he did seem to get a kick out of the Heat's rookies singing "Happy Birthday" to him.
Yep, that's the rule. Rooks are responsible for making the always awkward eye contact while singing Happy Birthday 🎶 pic.twitter.com/dG3P7xgAJr

Butler and the Heat had another reason to celebrate Thursday after rallying back from a 17-point deficit against the Boston Celtics to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
