The vast majority of NBA players likely do not have parlays at the forefront of their minds whenever they are competing. 

Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler certainly seems to have little interest in whether a fan's parlay hangs in the balance, but he also isn't opposed to having fun with spectators — especially those who are sitting courtside.

The Memphis Grizzlies, who are off to a slow start this season, hosted Butler and the Heat earlier this week. Apparently, a bettor needed Butler to score a minimum of 20 points in order to hit on his parlay. But, Butler ultimately finished the game with just 15 points.

Butler did not appear to sympathize with the courtside fan, despite his pleas to the six-time NBA All-Star. Butler instead decided to give the fan some insight into the buying power his professional basketball career has afforded him.

Social media videos showed Butler responding to the fan while the ball was in play.

"20 man score…score for me," the fan was heard saying. "Jimmy I gotta pay my mortage."

Butler then responded: "I paid mine…. I bought my house in cash."
