Jimmy Butler is one of the most polarizing players in the NBA. His presence on the court has both endeared and frustrated fans and players alike. Butler's play style is characterized by his relentless intensity, versatility, and defensive prowess. He's a crafty driver who excels at attacking the basket and drawing fouls and possesses a smooth mid-range jumper. His improved three-point shooting makes him a scoring threat from all 3 levels on the floor. His offensive impact isn’t all about scoring-he's also an excellent facilitator, using his vision and basketball IQ to create opportunities for his teammates.

Butler truly shines on the defensive end. He's a tenacious defender who takes pride in shutting down his opponents. With his combination of size, strength, and quick hands. His defensive versatility allows him to guard multiple positions, making him a valuable asset for any team's defensive scheme.


As the last player picked in the 1st round of the 2012 NBA Draft, nobody expected Butler to emerge into the superstar he has become. He’s earned 6 trips to the All-Star Game, been named to 5 All-NBA teams, 5 NBA All-Defensive teams, and won the 2015 Most Improved Player award. After spending time with the Chicago Bulls, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Philadelphia 76ers, he has taken his career to the next level with the Miami Heat. This includes appearances in 2 NBA Finals, including one run as an 8 seed, and another Eastern Conference Finals appearance. His ability to flip a switch in the playoffs, highlighted by his career high 56 point effort against the Milwaukee Bucks, has earned him the nickname “Playoff Jimmy”.
