Meyers Leonard Says Jimmy Butler Best Player in Heat-Bucks Series over Giannis

After going up 3-0 over the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard gave them some bulletin board material.

Shortly following the 115-100 Game 3 victory that put the East's No. 1 seed on the brink of elimination, Leonard told reporters that Miami presents a "nightmare matchup" for Milwaukee and the Heat have the best player in the series in Jimmy Butler.

Butler had a game-high 30 points on Friday going 7-for-13 from the field and 14-for-19 from the free-throw line while adding seven rebounds and six assists.
