BRIEF: Why is Jimmy Butler wearing a fanny pack?

Dec. 18--Look out, Mark Wahlberg. Your buddy Jimmy Butler is flashing some solid comedic chops.

Butler joined the Timberwolves' Zach LaVine and Andrew Wiggins, the Wizards' John Wall and the Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard in a light-hearted released by the NBA on Friday. In it, the players review NBA-themed products available at NBAStore.com. Butler reviews a fanny pack and a Bulls argyle sock money.

You can't make this stuff up. Just like you can't make up Butler's close friendship with Wahlberg, whom he befriended when the basketball fan filmed one of the "Transformer" movies in Chicago.

The league released the "Stars from Stars" ad campaign via social media on Friday.
