Argument Over: Jimmy Butler Is Officially A Super Star Now That He's Making Headlines For Reportedly Dating Shakira

I think the whole Jimmy Butler saga is fascinating. Shit his entire career from community college to Marquette to the NBA is fascinating. But there might not be a player in the NBA right now that is debated more than Jimmy Butler. Dude wasn't an All-Star this past season and then in the playoffs people wanted to call him a top-5 player in the league. Is he a true star, is he a super star, is he a number 1, all this sort of shit has been debated about Butler's career.

Well, argument over. 

This settles it for me. You aren't linked to Shakira if you aren't a super star. I don't care about taxes or diss tracks about your ex, Shakira is still a 10 outta 10. You don't dance like that and drop a spot just because of pesky taxes, no you date someone who lives in Florida. You don't dance like that and have me not thinking you're still an all-timer. So welcome to the club Jimmy. You're not a super star status.

Plus, the fact the Internet has been screaming about Lewis Hamilton or Jimmy Butler lets me know he's reached a new territory. He can sing Hootie and the Blowfish to Shakira. He has a team J Butt on Twitter. It's a battle I didn't expect to see, but you hit quote tweets on anything involving this story and it's a battle.

So congrats to Jimmy Butler. You have Damian Lillard demanding to play with you and you're now in the headlines for dating Shakira. You made it. You're a star.
