- There was once a time where Jimmy Butler's reputation was broken among NBA fans. He was regularly called a locker-room distraction, and many doubted in his ability to be the number one guy on a championship team. This is how he fixed his reputation and became one of the most respected players in the game today.

They tried to label him a locker room cancer because he wanted it more than everyone else. The last time Chicago did anything meaningful, it was with Jimmy Butler. The last time Minnesota was a winning franchise and made the playoffs was with Jimmy Butler. The last time the Sixers had a REAL shot at a winning a title, it was with Jimmy Butler. Then, he goes to Miami and makes it to the finals in his first year. The reality is Jimmy’s only goal is to win, and that rubs people the wrong way when that isn’t their #1 priority.
I knew that if you bought into the narrative that jimmy was a cancer you either a). Are a hater or b). A sheep.
Jimmy carrying 3rd stringers in practice is now a story of legends
Jimmy Butler about to leave the Minnesota Timberwolves: "Ima bust everyone's ass in practice in a 1v5. Yeah, you Karl and Drew Wig included. 🪣 dafuq you mean cuhhh, I don't need the B squad."
Ben Simmons about to leave the Philadelphia Sixers: "Hold my phone. Ohhh nah?" *puts it in his pocket* Gets suspended
There's levels to this youngins.
@@dubbcee1000 i mean i believed it only because i all i saw were headlines. at the time i was just really getting into ball
The bulls fumbled mj's son
Imagine calling a player who wants his millionaire teammates, who got that from a skill, to work hard on that skill and perform, a clubhouse cancer. That man is a leader, and he has shown up when it matters most.
Our society and its traditions/norms have been twisted and turned on its head!! If that's the case Kobe, MJ, Bird, Garnett are horrible teammates yet there are etched in NBA history. There is a fatherless culture running rambid, a bunch of rich divas with the spirit of their mothers.
Dude is crushing it in The playoffs this year.
And now he’s at the finals…let’s see what happens
Himmy put up some absolutely ridiculous stat lines in the bubble finals, I'm excited to see what he pulls out this time! Let's go Jimmy!
@@allpraisestothemosthigh9418 Nah dude he's a great player, but he's toxic and a hardass. There's a reason it falls apart when he's paired up with other star players, you got to balance out intensity and compassion, especially when dealing with your equals.
This guy beat the t-wolves starters with a team of third stringers. That's absolutely hilarious, I love it
Check the W/L with the Wolves when he was healthy and when he was injured. Dude came back late into the season and fucking willed the T-Wolves into the playoffs. Young NBA fans hope to see their favorite young prospects succeed so they can fanboy them when they do their alpha dog shit. Jimmy Buckets been making a career of it on worse squads. Everyone was forced to give him his flowers for his gutsy Finals performance vs the Lakers who tried to lock the man down from scoring.
He also beat Rachel Nichols in the bubble too...
@@t4d0W my man just elimnited the 1st seed as an 8th seed with a bunch of undrafted this is hilarious.
@@Sparkpark228 and now the 2nd seed
Should have won the finals in the bubble but we know that was all a set up for Lebum. Look at every other Laker season. Those guys underachieve.
It's baffling the media actually thought that story about JB and the third stringers made him look bad. That story will probably be the most cherished memory from his career. truly defines him as a player. Plus it gave us one of my favorite Game of Zones episodes
people thought that made jimmy look bad? wow nba fans be clueless😂
@@McGovernn I remember reports saying he was a bad teammate after that story came out. I think they mistook "nice teammate" for "good teammate" lol
This story is why jimmy my fav player this hit the news media as i was getting into ball and heard this shit. Instantly became my guy
@Luke McGovern you're not too good at reading, are you?
I literally watched that Game Of Zones episode after seeing this video today. You're not wrong! 😂
It's funny. Everything the media criticized him for was what made me a fan. Especially that story of him taking 3rd stringers against starters lol.

@@zxcytdfxy256 he meant statistic when saying "stat", bro lol.
@@ncohesive jimmy buckets is more into the “superstar” category now than just a star player
The stat part really went over people's heads considering all the points OP made beforehand.
Coming back to this video after the finals and you were absolutely right. NBA media buried that man alive from 2016-2020 but now they see why he is the way he is. After CHI he played for two teams with entitles young stars and no winning culture. He finally goes to MIA and becomes one of the best players in the world and is surrounded by guys that want to work just as hard as he does. If anybody in the league deserves a ring it’s Jimmy Buckets.
A great leader, he really just wanted all his teammates to push their limits and improve like him. I'm glad he found the right culture at Miami
And we have been loving every second of it ever since! This is Himmy's home now and this is HIS team! #HeatNation
@@goombapizza6335 yesirrrr heat on top
Sounds like MJ
Jimmy wasn't some highly lauded talent. Nothing was given, everything was earned. He expects everyone else to work as hard as he does. If you don't, at least you have to take the criticism to heart, not brush it off. That's why he has gelled so we'll with the Heat and their "Heat culture" of hard work and no excuses. It really unleashed what Jimmy is able to do, and that is inspire and lead everyone else around him to be the best they can be.
Terrible leader. He tears down everyone else. Blames. Complains.
Butler's a real one, he's a hardworker and a true competitor
And a Nichols attractor
MN supporter here....and don't blame him at all. KAT is soft and getting paid to be big fish of the small pond. Real fans know it, but sadly we're stuck.
I'd say hes right behind jordan and kobe in terms of I'll do f__king anything to win. If yall trash, get the hell out my face.
A true competitor doesn't want to get pulled out the last couple minutes of the game just because they are losing by double digits. He allowed himself to be pulled out. He's a competitor, but not a true one.
@@putitherepls When did that happen ? I don't know any coach who would pull Butler out of a close game.
Jordan In Private: “That’s my boy!”

Here after the game 5 win. Jimmy is HIM.

As a Bulls fan I really hate that we didn’t build around Jimmy. He’s been my favorite player in the league since that 2015 season, and seeing all that he’s doing in Miami makes me wonder what could’ve been
As a Sixers fan I share your pain
I do understand that you wish your organizations would have kept him to achieve what the Heat have achieved with him, but the truth is that it has all to do with the Heat organization being the perfect fit for him. Neither the Bulls nor the Sixers are even remotely close to this. In addition to the unique Heat culture, none of those teams have had a coach that is even half as good as Erik Spoelstra
@haubir95 while I don't necessarily disagree u have to acknowledge that the Heat wouldn't be half as good as they are without him at the helm. Not only is he super talented he has a winner's attitude that he had with every team even before joining Miami. I'm not denying Miami has a far better culture than most teams, but he sure as hell adds onto that in such a big way. He's the type of player EVERY team wishes they had on their team.
@xbacongrizzler6929 Agreed every team wants a guy like Jimmy but the Miami Heat culture is just the best fit for him. They ALL play hard.
“You can’t win without me” considering he left and made crazy playoff run one after the other, and the wolves since have yet to make the playoffs…. Yeah jimmy was right the whoooole time
Hey looks like we will make it now😂 but I will say butler would have enjoyed playing with Edwards more than alongside wiggins who has no drive to be the best he can be.
and it wasnt even surprising to me that he was
They were still bad with him tho…
@@loganstewart3751 best they ever were since KG
@@loganstewart3751 and I don’t remember 52 wins being bad
I’m so happy that Jimmy found his way to the Miami Heat. He’s the absolutely perfect player for their team’s system and their finals run in 2020 proved that.
@DOOM BABY what about it? Shortest off season in nba history lakers got knocked out early too and we lost to the champs it’s a new year

Coming back to this video after the Heat beat the Bucks 4-1 this season is fantastic. Jimmy Butler is such a great player, and he is both a good and willing leader. Inspiring a culture of self-belief works wonders, and I think that can be seen so much in this last series.
The Heat had no business even competing with the best team in the league, especially down Tyler Herro and Oladipo. Yet, they won. Of course he absolutely killed the Bucks offensively, but the team played incredibly hard and played like they knew they could win. That Gabe Vincent 3 to close the gap in Game 5 is just proof of that to me. Butler’s post-game interviews reveal something else: he believes that his team is what caused them to win. And that’s why they were able to win. Giannis being out didn’t change anything considering how the games with him played out. When Adebayo fouled out, the backups stepped up. Cody Zeller probably didn’t expect to play, but he came in and had an immediate impact. That’s a team, that’s a winning mentality. Having such a great coach is, of course, a massive help. But Butler visibly fuels the Heat as a team.
I’m a Nuggets fan, and I cannot wait to see him continue to win.
he just made history, hes him
A leader is right, he’s got everyone on the team firing on all cylinders right now and makes sure they get their opportunities
I’m here after they beat the Celtics in game 1😂

That’s why he’s on the Heat now
This that type of shit where your teacher pair you up with some lazy mfs to do a report. No body wants a good grade but you 😡
Thats the Miami way
Jimmy is the last of a dying breed. He got that Kobe, MJ mentality where they're harsh to teammates that they don't believe are working hard enough but still got your back
Because he's MJ's son.
First let him win the chip and then compare him to kobe and micheal mentality.
@@rainuchiha2152 bruh. 😒
MJ and Kobe have 11 titles. Jimmy has been past the 2nd round 1 time. Thats how dumb this generation is. Jimmy leaks to the media, these dummies buy every word and think he's an all time great. How are yall this dumb?
I'm saying he has a very similar mentality doesn't mean his individual talent matches up to them at all.
jimmy is the kind of player that you'd want on a championship team. he doesn't need attention, he doesn't need to always be the first guy, he just wants to win and he will produce
I am watching this today after the Heat eliminated the 76ers. This is a perfect video to watch as a Jimmy fan or as a Heat fan before heading into the ECF. This goes so smoothly with what the Heat has done this season. It does seem like a revenge season for the heat, the way they have dominated the much tougher EC this season and the way the video ended, your predictions were right my guy. Moving to the Heat was maybe one of the best decision Jimmy made in his career. Adding Lowry to the mix has been epic and who the hell knew Oladipo will show up like he has in the playoffs.
wathced this when he eliminted the bucks, this dude is destroying franchises.
He just did it again
Hello I'm from the future and they really run it again. They got the rematch against the boston
Season 2022-2023 #8 seeded MIAMI HEAT.
to put it simply: jimmy pulled a michael jordan on all the teams and because jimmy isn’t mj, he got called a “locker room cancer”😂😂
He is mj's son so he has that drive
The problem was he shouldn't have pulled an MJ. Because when MJ did it, everyone got motivated. When Jimmy did it, everyone got tired of him.
Jimmy: "And I took that personally"
@@adingdingdiiing6740 all of those teams were garbage before and after jimmy.
Jordan was bringing intensity, but he had the greatest player/ego manager off all time in Phill Jackson to keep the players in check.
Only reason Jordan wasn't called a cancer is because he was protected by the media and the NBA. All of Jimmy Butler stuff seems to be strictly basketball, Jordan however was just a straight-up dick head
Jimmy Buckets is a throwback player. A modern day Scottie Pippen with a Grant Hill body, Dennis Rodman motor, and Luol Deng mentality. He came in a generation too late. Michael Jordan's Bulls, Chicago fans, and the media would've loved him.
czcams.com/video/CQgvH-GmgC0/video.html
I never thought of it that way but yeah thats a great point. I would also go so far to say he has the competative drive and desire to win that Kobe had
now im just thinking about how good of a fit he would be on a utah jazz in 97 and 98
that would be lethal goddamn
I can see it.
Sixers fan here. I adored the guy and was mad they didn't keep him. Even though he just destroyed us on the court yesterday in the playoffs...I'm rooting for his Miami Heat to win the championship. His work ethic is what I admire the most. He's a blue chipper. A true philly guy if there ever was one. I miss him.
The fact he took 3rd stringers, took only 1 shot, and they still beat out the first team. My guy backed up all that talking with some action! Love to see it.
While wearing a Rollie, too
The bubble playoffs were made for guys like Jimmy. No distractions, no "home court advantage". Just your team vs the opposing team in a game of basketball
@Tack Draas lmao
He was the 4th leading scorer in the ECF and got 100% of the credit.
I remember he responded to media on why he didn’t have family members in the bubble with him, “it was a business trip”.
@Tack Draas 🤣
Lowkey that was some good as basketball. Just odd with zero crowd. Imagine a small crowd just for some background noise, it would be lit tho
Butler: "Yo u guys are lazy and soft"
Media: "Butler is huge problem..he wants to be competitive"
Bruh...
Media thinks hype and pageantry will win games, not toughness.. 😂
Michael Jordan would be called a toxic personality by today's media. You can win, but you can't hurt anybody's feelings. Oh and you have to admit a WNBA team could compete with you.
@@uttermanbo Very great point. You have to be a passive aggressive little girl like Lebron...not a grown man who let's his opinion be known
@@cappy2282 Woke'Bron
Honestly Jimmy being hard on his teammates makes perfect sense. Jimmy didn't get offers from big colleges, he had to work through junior college before getting a D1 offer, he was picked 30th and played garbage minutes his first year in the NBA and there was very little expectations for him. Every success he's had so far is because he works harder than anyone, notice how the sports media focuses on him rubbing teammates the wrong way and NEVER about his work ethic? Cause was the work horse who gave 110% in practice and in games and he expected that same effort from his teammates. And that's the key part when he says his team is "lazy" or not putting "effort" he wasn't sitting on his ass complaining, he lead by example by being the first guy in/last guy out and doing personal workouts and drills on top of the team schedule. Jimmy had to grind to be where he is and I don't think it's too much too ask that his teammates who've been scouted since they were 12 and were drafted in the top 10 (ie expected to be stars from day 1) to put in the same kind effort he does
Fucking preach man!!
This is one of those rare videos that aged very well. Jimmy Buckets still kicking A's in the playoffs!! 💪
Let’s gooooooo NUGGETS! 😂
The Heat culture with Pat and Spo emphasizes intense work ethic and competitiveness. I’m glad Jimmy found them, they’re the perfect franchise for him
I believe Wade told Jimmy in Chicago the best place for him was Miami
on JJ Reddick podcast, he mentions the Heat org from top to bottom has that culture and he needed that coming from Philly (my town) and brett Brown, who was a nice guy but he couldn't lead an elite team
Thats why he got swept and dominated by Bryn Forbes in the first round.

Yeah, losing in the 2nd round with Jimmy is way better than losing in the 2md round without him.

@@smyzo hmm a historically good buzzer beater to lose in the second? Context matters.
@@jDiddyi Hmm, been in the league a decade, made past the 2nd round one time. Context matters. FOH with context ignorant mouth breather. What was the context of the practice he ran to the media and lied about? Who were the teams, what was the score, how long did they play, were they tired while he was fresh, did they really try? Oh thats right, you can't answer one single question but you believe that fairytale with your whole heart.
It’s weird that all the same traits people extol in Jordan when displayed by butler were used to crucify him. Dude just wants to win and wants everyone to hurt as hard as he does when they don’t. I love the guy
Yeah fr. It's stupid
Same here. As someone who grew up a huge Kobe fan, I think of Jimmy as his spiritual successor in terms of attitude and mentality. My theory as to why people get on Jimmy for the same attitude Mike had when he played, I think it's because that stuff wasn't well known about Mike when he was active as it did later on in the Hall of Fame speech and Last Dance, plus because Jimmy hasn't won a championship yet, I think people gave Mike a pass because of the championships.
@@lucashenderson2775 Yeah its simply the fact that Butler doesn't have the best accolade to support his claims. Not his fault tho, sixers let him walk when he was easily the best player to keep for another championship run (tbh I don't believe in the wolves simply because towns and Wiggins truly didn't defend for shit). As for now, he was one shot away from another finals when his team shot like ass
cause he’s mjs kid
19:02 I wonder if Austin regrets his words? Especially after the heat closed out the 76ers with the upgraded core in Harden. That’s phenomenal
Legit finna go to another finals

Jimmy took the 3rd string and out coached them to beat your 1st team... And you fired him, not them!? 🤦🏾♂️
They didn't fire him, he demanded a trade and wouldn't play well with them until they traded him
Just watched the Miami Heat season opener against the Bucks.
Jimmy got 21 points in 29 minutes.
Miami wins 137 to 95.
He outperforms a lot of players because he's a 2 way player.
Aged like fine wine. Lil bro is about to make it back to the Finals! Hope he gets the ring he deserves
Let’s gooooo NUGGETS 😂
One of the best quotes I've heard from a player is Buckets discussing his motivation. Paraphrasing "the reason I play, it's not for the money - it's the respect of opposition players, when you're warming up and PG or whoever it is looks across at you and makes eyes like 'let's go' He also seems like a genuinely likeable guy. I want Jimmy Butler to win over any other player. That finals 4th quarter he put in against Lebron was so epic. Works his ass off, unselfish, doesn't care about anything else but the W. He proved the league and everyone who doubted him wrong. Lesssssgooo.
The goddamn T-Wolves were the 4th seed in the Western Conference with him in the 2017-18 season before injuries made them finish 8th. Jimmy is a mentality changer.
Another example of how dumb yall are. There was a 3 game difference between 3rd place and 8th place. Did yall think a team losing one of its best players would make them better or worse? Yall stay making moronic arguments.

Imagine calling someone a locker room cancer for expecting his team mates to work hard.
Imagine thinking a guy averaging 25 and 12 on historically great efficiency doesn't work hard. He can leak anything to the media and you dummies will believe it with your whole heart.
@@smyzo exactly. just because someone is bad dont mean they slacking around. an average joe can study real hard and still fail to beat a harvard student. people mistake effort with output.
KAT must be the only human on earth born naturally with basketball skills. Didn't work hard to get them, just born with them according to these goofs. Won the Skills Competition and 3 point shooting competition somehow without working hard.
Yeah the “Locker room cancer” is leading the Miami Heat in the right direction. As a Heat fan I was so pumped when we got Jimmy. Now they are 5-1 atop the Eastern Conference. He is a great player and with Tyler Herro, Bam, Kyle Lowry, Duncan Robinson, and PJ Tucker this team is elite and they will make a huge playoff run this year. I am so excited to see where they lead this team.
You right about the playoff run so far bro🔥

Hot take: Jimmy Butler was the best player in the 2020 NBA bubble post season.
he was, don't get me wrong, LeBron was a beast too but jimmy didn't have bam and dragic in the finals (they eventually played but were a shell of their former self)
2 x triple doubles in the finals resulting in winning those two games. That was a one man carry job by Jimmy. No one should doubt him again after those games.
That's a fair take for those who actually watched the full games. Jimmy was the best player in the 2022 playoffs (statistically speaking) until he got injured. He'll be back next series....
This was ahead of its time… loved it!
one year later and jimmy buckets leading miami to the finals🔥🔥🔥❤

Considering the Heat are Finals bound a year later, this aged well. 🏀
I like to watch him play. He is electric on the court with fire. He is a real one and will say what is on his mind.
That is the most hilarious reason for asking a trade, 'my teammates don't work hard'. Dude is a beast
Your commentary is actually spot on as a Chicago fan 👏
So happy I found your channel, before you even hit 20k Subs. You're nearly at 23k right now. You deserve 100k+ because you put some of the best NBA content out there. Keep it up, man - great work
love that butler is on the heat now. even if i wasnt a heat fan, it just seems like a great fit. hes went from people calling him locker room cancer, to everyone of his teammates saying nothing but great things about him as a teammate. he just needed other hard workers around him. mj and kobe wouldve called out people slacking and gotten praised for it, for having the hunger to win, etc... but butler got called cancer for it lol. good to see the turnaround
Just got swept in the first round. Jimmy so controls the media and you mindless sheep that its not even a thing. He got a complete pass.
@@smyzo You again??
@@hiraeth7361 Great post
Well this video has aged like fine wine, HIMMY BABY
hey you're right. Jimmy Buckets once again has proved his doubters wrong.
Great great video! Jimmy Butler has been one of my favorite players in the NBA since he was in Chicago. With all the talent he has been around, if they were able to stay health and match his energy and expectation, you would of definitely consistently made deep runs in the playoffs. Definitely being a serious contender every year.
With all the talent he's been around he's made it past the 2nd round 1 time in 11 years
@@smyzo You CLEARLY missed the part about his teammates not being healthy/ didn’t read what I said.
You’ve been dismissed. 🤫 🤫🤫 ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
@@KCClassic7 Dismissed by a dumb Jimmy groupie? LOL, youre pathetic just like your hero, that POS Jimmy Butler. Keep malimg excuses fraud.
Jimmy was looking for that culture, and him choosing culture over the the 76ers and the Lakers as mentioned in the tweet should deserve the ultimate respect from everyone!
this video aged like fine wine LOL himmy butler in the playoffs fr
I am watching this now after Butler scored 56 pts in game 4 against Bucks
I'm watching this again after Miami oust Bucks in game 5!!!
Competitive, passionate and expecting perfection type of people are always misunderstood. I'm the same way, until u find your way/place where you're greatness and leadership is appreciated. It's holding yourself and others accountable.
now i understand why jimmy buckets is so good
That shot by the raptors in game 7 was just insane...
It’s only fitting that this year, his team is going to the finals not only because of the stars but also because every one on the team stepped up. Great ball and effort from everyone that allowed a team with many disadvantages to beat many better teams.
2019 was the Sixers best chance at a chip. And Jimmy Butler was a big part of that
Sixers only lost cause Jimmy got hurt late in the series.
They lost in the second round. Just like they did before and after him.
@@BlackTrunksPodcast Jimmy didnt get hurt. He got cooked by Kawhi then spent the rest of the series guarding Lowry.
Amazing video as usual. Can't wait to see what happens with Jimmy and the heat this season.
still sad we gave up jimmy as a sixers fan
I loved the bulls because of derrick rose, i became a fan because of jimmy butler. Been following this guy to whatever team he goes to for years and i’m so happy to see he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves! Amazing video my guy!!
As a sixers fan its so sad to know that embiid and jimmy loved each other
He was one of my favorite players last decade and the Sixers should’ve kept him.
