Jimmy Butler is on my All-NBA first team, meaning if I had to win a game, there aren’t five guys I’d take over him.
This isn’t an argument against the current All-NBA selections as is, since statistically the guys ahead of him had better seasons, but that is also part of the reason I’d take him. Jimmy doesn’t give a damn about stats. Dude might have 12 points all game but that doesn’t mean you don’t want the ball in his hands down the stretch, as when it comes to the clutch, he’s as good as anyone.
He also impacts the game in so many ways, whether that be as a scorer, ball handler, defender, or just diving on the floor to keep a possession alive.
