Jimmy Butler
While the ending was ugly, Jimmy Butler’s tenure with the Miami Heat is one of overachievement and deep playoff runs. Butler’s no-nonsense demeanor and competitiveness were the perfect fit for Miami’s “Heat culture” as he helped lead the Heat to multiple runs to the NBA Finals, including the 2023 NBA Finals as an eight-seed.
Unfortunately, during the 2024-25 season, the relationship between Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat deteriorated with Butler being suspended mutliple times by the team and eventually being traded to the Golden State Warriors in February, 2025. While it’s doubtful that Jimmy Butler will have his jersey retired in Miami, fans will undoubtedly remember the incredible moments – especially in the NBA Playoffs – where Butler delivered again and again.
“Playoff Jimmy” was no joke as is evident in comparing Jimmy Butler’s Miami Heat playoff stats against his regular season stats. For example, Butler averaged 26.8 points per game during the 2023 NBA Playoffs over 24 games. Butler also holds the Miami Heat record for most points in a playoff game (56 points against Milwaukee on May 5, 2023).
