Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler has let fans know he's putting in all the work so the team can make another run to the NBA Finals. 

He's also managed to have some fun this offseason. A lot of it. 

The latest was playing pickup ball with reggaeton star J Balvin in New York City. The two posted videos and pics of their meeting on Instagram. 

J Balvin, who was born in Colombia, is a Heat fan. He was spotted sitting courtside throughout the playoffs, including wearing a Heat jersey during the Finals. His breakthrough song, 6 AM, debuted in 2014. 

Butler has spent the summer touring China and playing tennis with the likes of Carlos Alcaraz at the U.S. Open. He has about two weeks before the focus returns to basketball. Training camp opens Oct. 3. 

Until then, who knows where Butler will show up. After last season, he's earned the right to do some down time.
