Stop Making Sense: Jimmy Butler’s Nights To Remember Aren’t Always The Ones You See Coming

Jimmy Butler doesn’t make any sense. Then again, neither did Dwyane Wade.

Six years ago, Wade shot 16 percent from three. Barely even attempted them, really. For a player who took 200-plus threes in three consecutive seasons, he only took 44 in 74 games that season. From December 18 through the end of the regular season, he didn’t make a single one. Teams still defended him at the arc because they knew not to play with fire. Maybe they weren’t surprised when Wade drained two three in the final minutes of a win or go home Game 6 in Charlotte.
