The Jimmy Butler Problem

[@safareto2453]

i really appreciate how you breakdown things jimmy's role instead of just going "jimmy bad" or "pat riley bad". genuinely one of the best basketball channels out there

[@SheeshEther]

I love how you’ll just drop a video at any time 😂

[@henrytai5886]

prolly the best breakdown on Butler’s game I’ve heard so far

[@guacamole6856]

Poor guy making 146 mill on 3 year contract. Must be stressful

[@lethargictendencies9485]

More people should be clowning Jimmy Butler lol Dude is older than Kawhi but he acts like he is a kid still. Hasnt won shit, always injured/not playing and seems proud of it. Yet we hate on players that stay quiet and work hard on coming back. Everything about the NBA is twisted these days

[@xgamer560]

I think that it is a bit weird and interesting that it seems that jimmy just saves his energy (as in really not trying in a lot of games) then plays like a super star in “important” games. Might sound simple but I don’t think so, super stars don’t seem to do it but jimmy really commits to this method😭

[@averagesixersfan9778]

imo he is, he helps shift the culture of every team he's on and despite him not trying in the reg season, we've seen all people care about is the post season and disregard the reg season (net negative overall)

[@nessy3098]

That’s not true many people care about the regular season a lot

[@averagesixersfan9778]

he also could absolutely ruin their finances and locker room, so please no 👎

[@maharajahdann]

Very nice work, as always. His availability is an issue, too. Even if he gets paid a lot of money to perform in the playoffs, well, he was injured last year and he's 35. He's a risk, but there's a few teams out there that need to take one.

[@vulkanac47]

i like jimmy, but my heart goes out for every multimillionaire unhappy at his job. if he god forbid loses his job he will be sleeping under bridge poor poor man. thoughts and players go to him.

An injury prone 35 years old who doesn't put in effort in the regular season struggles to get a max contract. Who would have thought.

[@TR1_93]

In what world does 21+ pts 6rebs 6asist equates to no effort? Who da hell are you gonna find better than jimmy butler? A proven player that is well documented to perform like a hall a famer when it matters most. This doesn't mean he slacks in the regular season. This means he becomes more aggressive in the playoffs out of necessity.

[@awildgentleman]

Nice video but Herro has not been their most efficient scorer. Jimmy's TS% (Total Shooting %) is 65.6% versus 63.5% for Herro.

[@Henry-kv7zl]

Marginal difference and hero scores tougher buckets

[@awildgentleman]

@ This season Herro certainly has higher usage and I do think he, not Jimmy, has been their most valuable player thus far. The thing I wanted to emphasize is I think Jimmy’s lack of usage is more his own disinterest/coaching than a decline in ability.

[@gabrielbollant8836]

Ummm, you spent the whole video quoting his percentages in the mid range, but forgot to mention he’s having the best year of his career… especially in terms of percentages

[@YunisRajab]

He really needs to turn it up when he gets back to increase his trade value if he wants to leave. Being passive won't help him at all

its hard to be THE GUY all the time with a pure heart like that. just ask michael....it takes a toll on you as a human. rest up jimmy :)

he's a bum ! this is nothing new with Jimmy when he cant get his way. look at his past team departures. Riles should have been smart and knew this was gonna happen but whats done is done.

Jimmy’s coming off like someone that wants to be ‘The Guy’ and then when he actually has to play that role he gets upset about it.

[@davidfebreeze428]

It’s not like he got them to the finals two times as major underdogs who wouldn’t be considered contenders when he played that role and didn’t clomplain one bit until he realized the heat made no effort to bring in reinforcements
