When Mark Wahlberg walked over to the Bulls bench to hug his friend Jimmy Butler Thursday night, we hope Butler didn’t perspire all over Wahlberg’s “Jimmy Buckets” shirt.

“Great choice,” he said. “Anytime you wear the Jordan brand with my logo and my name on it, it’s lotta love. That’s my guy.”
Butler and Wahlberg’s friendship, detailed in the Tribune Jan. 17, has been well-documented through their social media posts. In the past few weeks, Wahlberg campaigned for Butler’s All-Star nod on Twitter.
