In one clip shared to Balvin’sInstagram Story, the two friends sat laughing and pointing at the team they apparently trounced, with the losing team wagging their fingers at the winning duo as they lauded their win over them.
“Ganamos!” they both laughed and pointed in unison at their opponents in jest, which is Spanish for, “We won!”
“Nosotros dos!” Balvin, 38, repeated in the clip, which means, “Both of us!” referring to the fact that Balvin and Butler “won against 5” opponents, as Butler teased the losers, calling them “Poopoo face!”
Last May, Butler was seen hugging Balvin as he sat courtside, following Miami’s win against the New York Knicks, as seen in footage shared on theNBA’s official Twitteraccount, currently known as X.
It would appear that Balvin holds his famous friends dear to his heart. The singer previously opened up about his friendships with Puerto Rican singerLuis Fonsi, and British singerEd Sheeran.

“I met J in a gym in New York last year — it was just me and him very early in the morning. I recognized his voice when he was on the phone so I just went up and said ‘Hi,’ " Sheeran, 32, wroteon Twitter, last March. “We chatted so long, we ended up having lunch and then afternoon tea. Then just went to being mates who chatted nonstop.”
