It's funny hearing him talk about how he didn't really dream of hitting a game 7 buzzer beater in the finals, because he "was never really that good at basketball". He wasn't a super talented guy with the why as a limit. He had to work for everything he has achieved. And of course even generational talents like Lebron also worked hard - but almost everyone we're comparing Butler to these days, were highly rated 1st round picks. Honestly Jokic is the closest parallel as someone who only really became this good when he worked his ass off and got into shape. But even he had a physical advantage (height) that statistically gave him a good chance to become an NBA player.

The heat seemed to just WANT it more, ran though the bucks, knicks, and celtics. They seemed to will out victories in games 1,2, and 3. In game 7 they just kind of took control and I quit even thinking the celtics could come back. I hope they give the nuggets hell. I want to see jimmy dropping 28-40. The whole team get hot and feed off that energy. Its a lot more fun to watch then the 14 he had last night, and all those missed 3s.

This is so true. MJ lost to the Magic in 95 and came back extra hard in 96. Kobe lost to the Celtics in 08 and listened to the song played after they lost all year long to motivate himself the following year. Duncan lost to the Heat in 2013 and told his entire team it was his fault, he was the top scorer and had a double-double average. Came back the next year and massacred the Heat. It's a team sport but the team needs a strong leader.

If Jimmy wins, Jimmy will indeed be talking about Jimmy’s ring.

As a Celtics fan, the Miami Heat are exactly what I want the Celtics to be. Butler is one of my favorite players in the league because he really does radiate that "Ima win this game for you or die trying" energy. Game 6 this year and game 7 last year really showcase the difference in teams. In both games the Celtics were the much better team, got a lead with not much time left and just stopped playing. If Butler hits that shot and Derek White didn't happen Miami would have won both games. We just didn't have the mentality to put the hammer down.

I think you also have to give a lot of credit to Erik Spoelstra, because coaching's been a huge factor in all of the Heat series. The Celtics were completely outcoached. They didn't make any adjustments when they were losing, nor when they were winning, whereas the Heat have been incredibly flexible and fluid in their defense and offense. That's cause of great coaching.

This is the main reason why Larry Bird will always be my favorite player of all time. The dude was fucking unbreakable. He was a true warrior, heart of a lion, literally left it all on the court from day 1 to his last game. It was truly contagious, you could almost see that aura around him lol... The dude wasn't the highest flyer, not the fastest, biggest or strongest. But the shear determination, heart, will power, and skill... The dude broke his back, face and all who knows what else lol Still never ever gave up on his team... He came back stronger after loses and heartbreaks. Never bitched and complained or looked for excuses and always took it upon himself to prove that he can do it better. Very few players in the history had that level of insanity and fire in them. Larry, Mike, Kobe 100% on that top of the mountain.... and Jimmy has just proven how powerful that is when he is surrounded by players and staff who understand that and who are receptive to that kind of energy. He dragged that stupid Minnesota team to the playoffs but KAT would rather play video games. He carried the 76ers but they disrespected him and kept fucking Tobias Harris over him LMAO... Pat Riley and Spoelstra also deserve a lot of credit for sure... But they ain't doing shit with any other player in the league instead of Jimmy imo He is the craziest!

9:39 Honestly my favorite example of this idea when talking about the Killer mentality is Dame’s range. He didn’t have this range the whole time, but after getting swept in the first round in 2018, he spent the entire off season working on the long ball and improving. The Mamba mentality at its finest: using a loss to force yourself to improve.

Good point. Relentlessly pursuing winning and refusing to lose is rare.

I’ve had a lot of respect for Jimmy since he came in the league. He’s from Tomball which is about an hour away from me so it was very easy to root for the local kid at first. But as his careers gone on he’s proven that he’s one of the most determined players the league has seen in a while

Jiimmy Butler said: "MY TEAMATES NOT ROLE PLAYERS" This is one of the best Jimmy aka Motivational videos...

This is one of your best videos. Very excited for these Finals. I’m rooting for the Nuggets bc my grandpa who got me into basketball as a kid is originally from Denver and he loves Jokic and is not doing great health wise. I would be so happy for Jimmy and Heat fans if they won, at the same time. This should be a great series!

The last quarter of the video had me literally tearing up. You really can’t describe it. Its not nostalgia. Those “you had to be there” moments, when you had a man on your side who rose to the occassion and wouldn’t blink. Win or lose, you turn off the game satisfied that there wasn’t an ounce more they could’ve given. In a game today that has even the most average player going home to 8 figure estates, the level of grit we’re seeing from Butler and the Heat is unheard of
