Superstar Jimmy Butler has led the Miami Heat back to the NBA Finals, in an improbable run after the team managed to get out of the play-in tournament. Though they will enter the Finals as underdogs against the Nuggets, it is clearly impressive that the team has even managed to get this far.
There is no doubt that Jimmy Butler leading the Miami Heat to the Finals twice in 2020 and 2023 has made him a franchise legend to many fans. Jimmy Butler clearly feels the love of the franchise, and he recently revealed that he plans to retire with the Heat.
“It’ll be the last jersey that I wear.”
It’ll be interesting to see when Jimmy Butler retires, but it is unlikely to be anytime soon. He is still playing at a superstar level in the playoffs and easily has a couple more good years.
In the postseason, Jimmy Butler has put up 28.5 PPG, 7.0 RPG, and 5.7 APG for the Miami Heat. He has been highly impactful for the Heat in all areas of the game, and we’ll see if he is able to win in the Finals.
Jimmy Butler Is Dealing With An Ankle Injury But Refuses To Use It As An Excuse
Jimmy Butler is currently dealing with an ankle injury, but it seems as though the star is refusing to use it as an excuse ahead of the Finals. He pointed out that “nobody cares” if he is injured, and the expectation is still to perform.
“Nobody cares. You don’t, either. I’m still expected to do my job at a high level if I take the floor, which I will. We’re going to be okay. We’re going to get the job done, bum ankle or not.”
It is clear that Jimmy Butler understands what is expected of him as a superstar in the league, and he’s willing to do his best even though he’s banged up. Hopefully, we do see him perform at a high level.
Though the Miami Heat are at a disadvantage in the Finals due to their lower overall talent level, they are not a team to be counted out with Jimmy Butler at the helm. It’ll be a great Finals this year, and hopefully, we see it go six or seven games.
