Music Win Butler, Number One Draft Pick
Posted by Lauren Beck on Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 12:22 PM
As you blindly obsessed Arcade Fire fans (me) might recall, super-tall frontman Win Butler showed off his basketball skills, or rather, mad skillz, at the Rock the Court charity tournament earlier this month. Not only was he the first pick in the musician draft (others included Pearl Jam's Jeff Ament and City & Colour's Dallas Green), but then he went head-to-head in a 3-point shootout with actual professional basketball player, Antonio Spurs forward Matt Bonner, and won. Check it out in the entertaining video above, the best part, seeing Butler goof off and kind of just act like a regular guy.
Then he won the Polaris Prize for his other hobby.
