Before this series is over, I& #39;m going to tell the story of when Jimmy Butler came to the Escape Room I was working at (the day after he was traded from Minny to Philly)

Ok, I guess I& #39;ll tell it now. I was working a shift at the front desk when I heard a voice that sounded familiar. The person wanted to book a room for that night, but I but him on hold (I forget why). But I& #39;m bad at working the phone so I accidentally hung up on him.

Anyways, he called right back and booked the room, and his card had the hometown of Tomball on it. That& #39;s when I knew it was Jimmy Buckets. A few hours later, JB and a few of his friends walked in. Jimmy gave an alias at the sign in iPad and was wearing a sweatshirt...

and two hoodies in the hopes that no one would recognize him. I was not the person operating his game, but I remember his group did not solve the room and he was disappointed.

My friend and coworker tried to take a pic with him in the mall, but he didn& #39;t want to be seen and walked right out of the mall. To this day, I regret not trying harder to ensure I was the game operator for his group. That would& #39;ve been wild.

I don& #39;t agree with how he forced his exit out of Minnesota (the whole situation was very complicated) , but he& #39;s a one-of-a-kind dude that& #39;s improbably forged his own path to superstardom. I have a lot of respect for that.
