The week has consisted of many surprises for WNBA rookie Cameron Brink. The rookie was chosen to represent Team USA in the Paris Olympics as a part of the 3×3 squad. Just a few days after receiving that news, Brink’s favorite NBA player attended the Los Angeles Sparks game.

Cameron Brink was caught off guard as Miami Heat’s Jimmy Butler surprised the Sparks rookie at her game while wearing her jersey. The moment quickly went viral on social media as the duo shared a hug and clicked wholesome pictures together while Butler rocked a fellow 22 jersey.

Butler witnessed Brink’s first WNBA double-double performance of 10 points and ten rebounds as she helped the team win the game. The star is thriving on the defensive end, just like in her college days as she had two blocks and two steals against the Dallas Wings.

Being the second-overall pick, fans had high expectations for the ex-Stanford star. Despite only playing ten games at the WNBA, Brink has shown her skills on both sides of the court. However, the team is currently struggling with a 3-7 record in the regular season. With Friday’s win, the Sparks aim to turn things around in the tough Western Conference.

Cameron Brink chose Jimmy Butler over multiple NBA players

Just a few weeks before Butler pulled up to the LA Sparks game, Brink chose the star as her favorite player. Brink, a two-way player like Butler, uniquely showed her admiration for Butler. While answering rapid-fire questions for overtime, Brink chose Butler over almost every mentioned player.

In the beginning, Brink chose Victor Wembanyama, but after Butler was mentioned, the competition was pretty much over. The Sparks rookie chose Miami’s star even over the MVP contenders and former MVP Joel Embiid. Check out the clip below.

The competition finally stopped once Brink chose her god-brother Stephen Curry over everyone else. However, it was interesting that Brink chose Butler over all the greats, considering the star shares no connection whatsoever with the player. Nevertheless, Butler wearing her jersey to the game was certainly a full-circle moment for Brink.
