Jimmy Butler reveals his favorite Mexican football player

In anticipation of the Heat’s game against the Wizards in Mexico City, local reporters asked Butler about his familiarity with Mexican soccer.

Butler expressed admiration for Javier Hernández Balcázar, better known as Chicharito, a Mexican striker who currently plays for Liga MX’s C.D. Guadalajara.

“I don’t know many teams, but I do know players. My favorite is Chicharito, he played for the Galaxy,” Butler said (per FootBoom). “I pay attention to the game, and one of my best friends is Mexican, so he always tells me that Mexican players are the best, and I can’t disagree, but Brazil is also very good,” he added.

Chicharito holds multiple records as a Mexican player. With 52 goals, he is the all-time top scorer for the Mexican National Team. He is one of only three Mexicans to have scored in three different World Cups, with two goals in South Africa 2010, one in Brazil 2014 and another in Russia 2018.

Additionally, he is the only active Mexican player to have scored goals in five different leagues: Liga MX, MLS, Bundesliga, La Liga and the Premier League.
