Jimmy Butler became Playoff Jimmy once again beating the Bucks to put the Heat up 3-1. He’s done this throughout his career but at the same time, team after team gave up on him. It all started with the Bulls and this is a look at their fatal mistake.

  1. Well to be honest jimmy is a cocky & arrogant guy you can tell right away he is plus he is a Virgo they are like that no hate just saying from what I see 😅 🤷‍♂️

  2. Damn, who knew the bucks would be down 3-1, playoffs Jimmy is nasty… imagine a 3-1 series comeback though?

  3. Despite the things they say about Jimmy, can't really hate the guy since he's a hard-nosed and hard working guy. He also started from nothing, being homeless at a young age.

  4. There’s a article where it mentions how the bulls didn’t believe butler was a number one option on a championship calibre team also the lack of postseason success they had

  5. Am hoops out front office was garbage yes but I don’t think the rebuilding environment would have fit around us up to that point. Look at him in Minnesota he hated the young guys. So I would have loved to build around him but it most likely wouldn’t work. So instead of as bulls fans hating him for forcing his way out. We get to appreciate him for the time he spent with us.

  6. I think the bulls did not gave up on him. Its was him who wants out of the team. Jimmy is a kind of player that when he doesnt like the atmosphere he will find a way out. He is a big time baller that knows how to put himself on top

  7. Let's be clear here, not keeping Butler was dumb for any of those teams, but Jimmy as your main guy "that guy" you aren't winning it all with him as your franchise player… When they went to the finals in "the bubble" that was clearly a set for LeBron to win, they were not the best team in the east by a long shot. And his "shot" to beat the Celtics, to go to the finals says it all, he had plenty of time to go down and dunk/lay up the ball and tie up the game to go into over-time and then finish it off, but he wants that big moment so bad; that he can't have it, it's become clear he blindly chases that moment over making the right decision.

  8. Talk about hyperbole. What else can it be? Wow…l know content can be hard to come by but this is scraping the bottom of the barrel. Talk about pulling one out of your backside. And OLD news, to boot. The Bulls are not "in basketball hell all because they traded Jimmy Butler." That's a ridiculous statement on it's face. And if the Bulls had won the play in game against the Butler led "play in Heat" this take wouldn't even exist. There is no way of knowing where the Bulls would be with Jimmy today and no way of knowing what's in store for the Bulls tomorrow as they finished the season fairly well and had a top rated defense they can build upon. Next season will be here soon. Along with Jimmy. Who will watch the Finals this season on TV just like you and I and most everyone else. Maybe he'll have 'Spo and Riles over for some pizza and beer? Nice and cozy🤗

  9. Jimmy has become one of my favorite players. I always respected his game but as he was able to get his side of ish out – started respecting him as a person. His YouTube channel is also really entertaining to watch😁🔥Not as much as last nights game tho.
