As a singer, Jimmy Butler makes a great basketball player. The Bulls forward strikes a rock star pose next to Grammy winner Chance the Rapper on the latest cover of ESPN the magazine.

The pair represent Chicago in the magazine's entertainment issue. Chance wears a Bulls sweater while Butler dons a 1990s-era pinstripe Michael Jordan jersey. 

It's not the first time Butler and Chance have crossed paths. Last month, Butler was one of Chance's surprise guests at his "Open Mike" event last month.
