This was absolute greatness by Jimmy Buckets
The ones that can take over when under the most pressure, when it counts the most. Those that do are born with that gift from God. Jimmy Butler has it.
I always like Jimmy B.. he was already good then since he was in Chicago bulls with Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah..they almost won the eastern Champ..
My heats proving themselves again I love it
As a true heat fan there's no energy like here I swear
Underrated hero of the game: Kyle Lowry – he had like 3-4 huuuuuge defensive plays in the last 6 minutes alone. No one will remember it or that Caleb Martin hit 2 huge shots bc Butler just went Berserk. What a game. What a performance.
scam refs
Jimmy is a beast 💪🔥. Best playoff game I ever seen 💯
Thank you

This is a true goat right here. Going hard every play, despite of how you feel about the team that you have. Being a true leader and lead by example, sparking the dog in everyone, having that sort of impact on everyone. Wow!! What a performance. Something this league has been missing in recent years for sure
