    From underdog to unstoppable, Jimmy Butler's annual playoff runs continue to captivate and inspire us all. There's just something special about watching a player shine when the stakes are high, and with each miraculous performance, Butler further cements his status as one of the game's greats. Whether you're a die-hard fan or simply appreciate the beauty of clutch plays and heroic feats, there's no denying that these unforgettable moments have become an integral part of recent NBA history."

    Dude Jamal Murray vs Donovan Mitchell was one of the best 1 on 1 duels ive ever seen, and by far the best ive seen as a neutral fan. Those two balled out of their minds in that series, it was spectacular.

    I've become a really big Jimmy Butler fan. He's never played for my favorite team but after hearing his life story and everything he has overcome I was very impressed. Then I learned how hard working and dedicated he is. It's also crazy that he can play at a whole new level in the playoffs. I wouldn't be surprised if he really is Michael Jordan's son

    Rondo and Jamal Murray are 2 guys that you instantly think of. That Bull’s/Celtics series from 2009 is one of my all time favorite playoff series. Rondo was on another level when it came to the playoffs. Murray too. Murray steps it up another notch in the playoffs.

    I know it's his first playoff series, but I really do feel like De'Aaron Fox has really stepped up his game -> from his shot selection, scoring, and leadership -> he's done a lot during this series to rally his team or to get them to stay on focus. Hoping they continue to play thru this series and have a playoff streak over multiple seasons.

    I’m a hardcore NBA fan. As a professional sports bettor since 2006, I’ve been watching sports religiously for years.
    In my 30s, I’ve followed the NBA since Jordan’s second 3 peat.
    Almost all of the NBA channels on CZcams are abysmal. There’s a couple that are decent but nothing compares to your channel. I’ve seen dozens and dozens of your videos and you make no mistakes. More importantly though it’s obvious that you’ve been following the league very closely for a very long time now because even your opinions are things I can attest to being historically correct.
    Keep up the excellent work man. I’d love to see a 2nd channel that creates a video anywhere from once a week to once a month discussing storylines around the league. I think you’d do very well with that.
    Also you should do some paid promotions! You put in the work and deserve to maximize your earnings.

It would send shockwaves to the league and I'd go far as to say it's going to top what the warriors did with Dallas in 07.

    the only time I saw Jimmy Butler visibly tired was when he was going 1v5 vs the lakers in the bubble finals

    Donovan mitchell. This year he didnt show off but, i bet he will transform into a beast against the knicks to get back in the playoff run. He has also multiple 50p games and great level of play. He deserves to be here

      Lmao. Mitchell is a regular season guy. He disappears in the playoffs everytime except in the bubble where he arguably had less pressure. Then again, that's the same playoffs where TJ Warren turned into MJ so should we really count that?

    Surprise, surprise. Do you know that Jimmy Buckets was also a member of that 2012 BULLS-SIXERS Round 1 Playoffs upset. The tide has changed. But that upset couldn't be possible if Rose didn't tear his ACL.

    Rondo should still be in the Hall of Fame. He doesn't get the recognition or respect because of his time with Dallas and Sacramento. The Celtics COULDN'T win or compete on a high level without him and the Lakers NEEDED him to win that bubble ring

    Big game James and Joe Dumars + Vinnie Johnson from the same period of around from 87-90, basically Lakers and Pistons were the best teams in the playoffs of the 80's because Larry got hurt and Lenny never saw his time in the garden. Both teams had players build specifically for the playoffs. In todays game I'd give an honorable mention Goran Dragić, since he was a sophomore nobody who put up the greatest 4 quarter performance of all time on May 7th 2010, even in the Finals 2020 he was balling till he got hurt, after that Lakers were clear victors, before that we were surprised how exceptional Jimmy and Goran were playing. Dragić is mister 3rd quarter, he always gets it going in the third for club and country.

    I think we need to put Joker off of the list, as good as he is in both the regular season and playoffs his defence constantly was getting exploited year after year in the playoffs and unless he suddenly becomes a good defender OR the Nuggets find an elite running mate that can cover for him idt they'll advance deep.

    Jamal Murray is so average in the regular season then looks like a younger more athletic Steph Curry in the playoffs, it's insane. I remember during the bubble he was averaging like 30 pts on 50/50/90 splits and coming back from two 3-1 deficits.
