Jimmy Butler is ready to take on the Boston Celtics for Game 2 of the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals. The Miami Heat star becomes a different person once the game starts, but before and after that, Butler is actually pretty cool to be around.
Ernie Johnson approached him today and when Butler found out who was about to greet him, he didn’t hide his smile. After taking different paths, Jimmy shared his hilarious reaction to the moment.
“Ran into a legend. Y’all saw it. He knows who I am,” Butler said while Johnson and the people around laughed.

This just shows how respected and admired Johnson is around the NBA. Ernie has been around for a hot minute now and he’s been nothing but professional when doing his job. Of course, he’s part of the Inside the NBA crew and often gets involved in their jokes, but when it comes to players, he’s acted as well as possible.
Butler is also known for respecting everybody around him (as long as he’s not competing), and this was big proof of that. The veteran seems to be in good spirits ahead of a Game 2 that could put the Heat in a privileged position.
This is a big moment for the Heat, who could keep making history this season if they eliminate the Boston Celtics from the playoffs. Butler led the Heat to their first win on Wednesday, dropping 35 points to beat the C’s.
Jimmy Butler Is Focused On Winning A Title For Miami
Butler and co. know that everybody is sleeping on them, but they’re not worried about that. The player is on a mission this season and the Celtics can only be a step in his way to the NBA championship.
Many fans are in awe of him, and one scout recently had the biggest praise for him. He’s making this his playoff, and the Heat are ready to see how far he can go in the next games. Butler knows what he’s capable of and won’t hesitate to go off on the Celtics again to go back home with a 2-0 advantage.
