Bulls: Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown sat courtside to watch friend Jimmy Butler

From one All-Pro to another, and one friend to another.

Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown was in Chicago on Wednesday night and sat courtside to watch good friend Jimmy Butler take on the Atlanta Hawks.

Brown, whose Steelers were knocked out last week in the AFC Championship Game, donned a red Bulls jersey with Butler's No. 21, as well as a black hat with Butler's logo in red.

Butler and Brown's friendship first sparked this past offseason when Brown posted Instagram pictures of the pair working out.

Butler then said he was better at football than Brown and Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, another one of his good friends.

We don't think Brown will be joking that he's better at basketball than Butler, who went for 40 points in the Bulls' 119-114 loss.
