Student hits huge shot to win $10,000 bet with Bulls’ Jimmy Butler

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Chicago Bulls guard Jimmy Butler had a very simple challenge for one Phoenix Military Academy student: make a three-point shot one-handed, and he’d donate $10,000 to the school. It happened.

Butler first challenged students to make free throws, donating $50 each. That amassed $550. He took it a step further by donating $10,000 after hitting a one-handed three-point shot. A hefty haul for the school. Then came the big bet: if a student could match his shot he’d donate ANOTHER $10,000.

Butler was willing to give three attempts, but this kid NAILED it without even sweating. So clutch.
