Jimmy Butler dominated the first two rounds, but a harsher challenge awaits

The Miami Heat dispatched the Philadelphia 76ers in six games in the second-round of the 2022 NBA playoffs.

The NBA playoffs, like every other major playoff setting, requires players’ peak performances. Several players — most notably Michael Jordan and LeBron James, regarded as two of the greatest players to ever step on the hardwood — have assembled outstanding playoff moments, games and series that will ultimately define their legacy when it’s time to eventually hang up the curtain.

Miami’s Jimmy Butler hasn’t necessarily offered career-defining moments these playoffs, but that hasn’t stopped Butler from dominating the first two rounds of the 2021-22 NBA playoffs, being one of the league’s most productive players.
