Demaryius Thomas FaceTimes Jimmy Butler for kids
Broncos wide receiver Demryius Thomas visited the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver on Tuesday. While he was there, he called up his buddy, the Chicago Bulls' Jimmy Butler, via FaceTime, and the kids freaked out.
"OH MY GOD! JIMMY BUTLER! JIMMY BUTLER! JIMMY! WHAT'S UP, JIMMY? I SEE YOU OUT HERE!"
Thomas is so casual while the kids go wild. It's so wonderful. And the story of how Thomas and Butler's friendship came to be is equally as wonderful. Ben Swanson wrote a nice feature story about it for denverbroncos.com.
Butler reached out to Thomas about a year ago after reading about his childhood. They both went through tough times before becoming as successful as they are now, and they've bonded over that.
Anyway, props to Butler for answering a quick call for the kids, and props to Thomas for taking time to visit them. Per the Broncos, it was a total surprise.
