Towards the postseason, Jimmy Butler is always looking for ways to get better. He seems to level up as the contests become more significant. Unquestionably, one of the top opponents in the league right now is Butler.
Regular-season accolades have never really mattered to the 34-year-old. Like all the greats who came before him, capturing the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy is the ultimate goal.
“I believe that everyone is aware of my disinterest in being named an All-Star or All-NBA. None of that matters to me. Really, all I want is to win. Man, I am who I am.
According to Jimmy Butler, the Miami Herald
Butler and the Miami Heat will have a challenging schedule in order to advance from the Eastern Conference. Butler and the other players in that hard-working Heat culture, though, are the ones who can pull it off if anybody can.
In the end, Butler was left off of the list of the Eastern Conference All-Stars. Currently, this season, he is averaging 21.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game.
Even though the stats might not immediately catch your attention, he is an extremely dangerous player because of everything he does on defence. Butler is exceptionally skilled at the little things in basketball.
If the Heat can win a title this season or not, only time will tell. Either way, they will undoubtedly be involved in some capacity. It will be extremely difficult for any team trying to advance out of the East to go through Miami.
