When Jimmy Butler showed up to the bubble he said it was a business trip, and he’s been all business ever since. From coffee to the court. And following a career-defining performance in game 3 of the NBA Finals, Jimmy Buckets proved to the world that he is a true superstar.
As in a game featuring LeBron James and Anthony Davis, Butler was clearly the best player on the floor. In many ways Butler was reminiscent of James in the way he played, dissecting the Lakers' defense as a scorer and a distributor while outplaying the King head to head to the point where LeBron could head to the locker room early.
