Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler’s agent, Bernard Lee, penned a confident message regarding his client on X after a fan commented on how well the veteran played in the NBA bubble several years ago.
In his first season in Miami, Butler put the team on his back and led the Heat to an appearance in the 2020 NBA Finals.
The now 34-year-old did a bit of everything on both ends of the floor for Miami during its deep playoff run, as he averaged 22.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.7 blocks per contest while shooting 48.8 percent from the field and 34.9 percent from 3-point range in 21 appearances.
Butler also had perhaps his best series of the 2020 NBA Playoffs in Miami’s most important series, the NBA Finals. The Heat were eliminated by LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers in six games, but Miami gave Los Angeles a real run for its money thanks to the wing’s performance in the championship series
