Butler pointed to the scoreboard. In front of Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday, he fought fiercely and fiercely. It was the highlight clip that the world saw, but the highlight clip that the world didn’t see was behind the screen. Butler used The same meticulous way to get along with his relatives and friends…
Jimmy Butler is special.
During All-Star weekend, while some headed to the beach to play, Butler went to Argentina to watch tennis and learn the art of coffee. On the day between games, some players choose to rest, but Butler spent ten hours commuting by plane, attending Pau Gasol’s Los Angeles Lakers jersey retirement the night before and returning the next morning. Miami participates in team practice.
His fellow Miami teammates celebrated in the dugout room following the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks, but Butler calmly sipped his drink and watched from the sidelines.
He’s always done things his own way, which isn’t a bad thing—and it turns out. During his four seasons with the Heat, Butler has led Miami to the conference semifinals for the third time, and this year led the team to a rematch with the New York Knicks.
“He wants to have a fun way of living,” Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said. “You have to respect that philosophy of his life. But at the same time, he pursues winning with a very serious attitude.”
What Spoelstra means is that Butler is very, very serious. Winning a championship is what drew Butler to Miami, and it’s the only thing he cares regarding so far. Heat and Nick this group of feud across generations? He doesn’t care. Against his former head coach Tom Thibodeau in this series? He felt that there was no difference in this matter. Outside views or predictions? Without even thinking regarding it, he let the information disappear from his mind.
These reasons also made his teammates like him very much.
“Jimmy is a very talented player,” Heat guard Kyle Lowry said. Let me choose a few times, and every time I will choose Jimmy as my comrade in arms.”
Heat center Bam Adebayo also said: “I’m really glad that I can stay on the same team as him.”
It would be unfair to say that Butler doesn’t care regarding the regular season; but it might be more realistic to say that he cares more regarding the playoffs. Look at his great achievements in the past: Since he came to the Heat, he has scored more than 40 points in 8 games, and all of these 8 games occurred in the playoffs, including 2 games in this year’s playoffs The series once morest the Milwaukee Bucks: First scored 56 points in Game 4, then scored 42 points in Game 5 behind closed doors.
When Butler started killing in the fifth battle, social media was completely wiped out by him in an instant:
“Can you stop ignoring No. 22? This guy is real!” wrote Heat guard Victor Oladipo, who missed the game due to injury, and No. 22 is Butler’s jersey back number.
“Someone told me that Jimmy Butler’s scoring average is almost my age!” wrote Andre Iguodala, who was a teammate with Butler in the Heat and is now returning to the Golden State Warriors. (Iguodala, who is 39, was almost right.)
“Himmy Butler lol,” Damian Lillard posted.
(The reason why Lillard changed Jimmy to Himmy here is because American professional sports circles like to use “him” to refer to superstars on the court in recent years. This trend started from the album name “I’m him” of rapper Kevin Gates At first, it became popular when Youtuber JiDion used it in a video.)
Butler doesn’t really like being called “Playoff Jimmy”, but because the concept is so strong and so widely used, he can’t escape it at all. He averaged 22.9 points per game in the regular season, but when he faced the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs, he instantly jumped to 37.6 points, the highest score among all playoff players so far.
“My teammates told me not to stop shooting, even shoot a little more, to be aggressive,” Butler said. , no matter what price you have to pay, you have to find a way to win.”
Winning at all costs is the life motto that Butler still abides by following he walks off the court.

To be on the court with Butler, you have to be ready all the time. Want to play board games with him? That can only wish you good luck. In the NBA Bubble Park in 2020, when he was selling his own brand of coffee for $20, he was unwilling to give even the slightest discount to his teammates.
