Jimmy Butler took the league by storm after dropping 56 points in Game 4 of the first-round series vs. the Milwaukee Bucks.
Butler has been gathering praise from all around the league for his dominant performance. Veteran NBA analyst Skip Bayless went as far as saying that Jimmy is a more patient and craftier scorer than none other than the great Michael Jordan.
“I do consider this the best defensive team in the league. They are a desperate team that are number one overall seed. They know it and they play to it. They have missed Giannis for a couple of games, but he got a triple-double after an injury last night. … I thought Milwaukee on offense played as well as they could against a scrappy Miami Heat defense.
Skip added: “In all my years of watching and studying the NBA, I have never seen a more patient, cleverer, craftier scorer than this guy, and that’s including Jordan. He is totally in rhythm. It’s all in his own speed. He is like, ‘I am gonna wait, I am gonna wait.’ He is not just taking you down low, he is taking you on the perimeter.”

Over the last couple of years, Jimmy Butler has made taking his game to the next level in the playoffs a habit. Evidently, fans have fallen in love with Butler’s performances in the postseason.
Bayless believes that Butler’s skill to knock down tough shots surpasses even Michael Jordan’s. But at the end of the day, Jimmy Buckets still has a long way to go before he can surpass Mike in the playoffs. MJ was always a beast in the postseason and made scoring look easier.
Charles Barkley Ranks Jimmy Butler Higher Than LeBron James On The All-Time Miami Heat List
Jimmy Butler has spent four seasons with the Miami Heat, and each season, he has always shown up in the postseason.
Evidently, Butler has had some sensational performances during his stint with the Heat. But has he surpassed LeBron James on the Heat’s all-time best players list? Barkley seems to think so.
“Jimmy Butler joins Alonzo Mourning and Dwyane Wade as the greatest Heat players ever.”
There is no doubt about Butler’s skills as a player. But until he leads the Heat to an NBA Championship, he shouldn’t be ranked higher than LeBron James. That’s one way to look at it, but for Chuck, Butler has already done more for the Heat than James.
