Jimmy Butler has found himself a new hustle, becoming the barista of the NBA bubble.
With players across the NBA living without the comforts of home, Butler recognized a gap in the marketplace, and, like any good businessman, he made the most of it.
Butler recently told ESPN's Rachel Nichols that he had been charging players as much as $20 a cup for coffee from his French press, as good coffee was hard to find within the confines of the bubble.
"You can't get coffee nowhere here," Butler said. "So I might bump it up to $30 a cup. Just depends. People here can afford it."
A sign from his hotel room showed that at Butler's coffee shop, it was a $20 flat fee, regardless of the size.
