Jimmy Butler is having arguably the best postseason of any Heat player in franchise history.
Off the floor he holds another important role for the group— he’s the team DJ — broadening his teammates’ musical interests one song at a time. espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 11:59 AM

Where do you rank Jimmy Butler among all NBA players right now?
Assuming the Heat finish the ECF’s, I think the absolute floor has to be one spot ahead of Tatum. He’s outplayed him two series in a row. – 4:26 PM

Shams Charania: Heat breakout guard Gabe Vincent sits down with @Stadium: “I had everything against me. Right when I almost lost hope in the league, I got a call from (Miami).” On skipping summer league to just play in G League, Kyle Lowry/Jimmy Butler leadership, upcoming free agency, more. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / May 22, 2023
On Sunday, the Miami Heat took it to the Celtics in Game 3 with an absolute blowout of a match, putting Boston on the back foot with a statement game. After doing a bit of trolling on Grant Williams, Butler once again upped his game with a shot at Al Horford. Late in Game 3, Butler nailed a three-pointer to extend the Heat’s lead on the Celtics. Once the shot was drained, Butler moonwalked backwards and celebrated with a timeout call… for the Celtics. If you recall, Horford pulled the same move — calling a timeout for the Heat — in Game 1 after a big three-pointer. -via For The Win / May 22, 2023
