Jimmy Butler is a six-time All-Star and five-time All-NBA player, but the Miami Heat star could soon add country music sensation to his resume.

Butler spoke to The Guardian and revealed his push to take his talents from the basketball court to the recording studio. 

Butler appears to have already made substantial progress toward his goal of releasing a country music album, saying he has recorded 60 songs.

"And it's fun, and I do love it, but my goodness, it's difficult," Butler said. "It's stressful. It's completely different from basketball.

I've had a blast while doing it. But I will tell you that it's not easy."
