Jimmy Butler's Gesture for Steph Curry Goes Viral on Monday originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Ever since Jimmy Butler came on board a few months ago, he and Stephen Curry have been building what you could easily call a bromance. On the court, Butler has quickly become Steph’s go-to guy, someone the front office is counting on to help deliver another ring to the Bay. 

But Butler's loyalty doesn’t stop when the buzzer sounds. He proved just how deep that support runs with a simple but powerful gesture for Curry this week and let’s just say, fans loved it. His move went viral on Monday and showed everyone that Butler’s got Steph’s back, no matter what.

Steph Curry is taking part in the American Century Championship, a celebrity golf tournament at Lake Tahoe. And while he was walking onto the course he ran into a familiar face, Jimmy Butler. 

The two men exchanged a few words, and hugged it out before Curry went back to work. The video captured blew up online too; the original clip from NBC Sports and the re-post by Warriors World have racked up nearly a million views combined. Fans also shared their feelings reacting to the video as well. 

One fan said, “Jimmy’s a real one.”

Another fan added, “Dray trying to cancel everything to be here right now after this.”

“Jimmy butler is not the answer. He couldn’t win one game without Steph”- commented a fan making his feelings very clear. 

Another fan added, “Four hour dive one way. What a teammate!”

A fan commented, “Sure didn’t do it in the playoffs”

“Chemistry at its finest”- added another fan. 

Steph Curry gave it his best shot at the American Century Championship in South Lake Tahoe, but came up just short this time around. The 2023 champ finished fifth overall with a final score of 58, while Joe Pavelski finally snagged his first ACC win after a few close calls.

Curry actually had a solid run, climbing from ninth to fifth with four birdies on Sunday, but a rough double bogey on the 18th did him in. Still, you know, Steph’s fire won’t cool off. Now, it’s back to the hardwood, where he’ll be chasing another ring for the Warriors.
