Jimmy Butler joined the Miami Heat in 2019, and it was a perfect match. Since joining the team, Butler has led them to two NBA Finals appearances.
If the 33-year-old wins the NBA title this season, he will go down as one of the best players to ever play for the franchise. Speaking of his move to the Heat, Butler recently revealed it was Dwyane Wade who told him about the culture of the franchise.
“My style of leadership works here,” Butler said. “But more than anything, I got to give a shout-out to Dwyane Wade. He always told me about this culture and how I fit here. It really is a match made in heaven. I love it here, and I hope to be here.”
