The superstar of the National Basketball Association is already signed on, even though the 2023–2024 NBA regular season is drawing near.
In both on-court and off-court situations, Jimmy Butler never misses an opportunity to steal the show when one is presented to him. Away from the court, Butler grabbed a lot of attention earlier this week when he showed up to the NBA Media Day dressed in a “emo” style appearance. After that, he asserted that he is still the greatest basketball player in the history of the sport.
On the hardwood, his Miami Heat are about to embark on a season that will undoubtedly exceed all of their lofty objectives. Before making it to the NBA Finals in 2023, Miami was the top seed in the Eastern Conference in 2022. In spite of the fact that they were unable to acquire Damian Lillard, the Heat have retained their core players from their run to the Finals and have added UCLA forward Jaime Jaquez via the draft.
Jimmy Butler demonstrates to his teammates with the Miami Heat what he is capable of.
But most significantly, Butler is currently performing at an extremely high level. The Heat put to rest any fears that Butler would be slowing down or less driven before entering his age-34 season by posting a video from their Saturday practice in which Butler scores while being double teamed and then yells, “Are you not entertained?!”
Butler has repeatedly demonstrated that he is wired differently than the majority of players, especially now that he is in his mid-30s. This is especially true for veterans who are in their mid-30s. After making statements about how he is the best in the world and watching this tape, it would appear that Butler is absolutely committed to playing for this team this season.
The forward is coming off of his most productive season yet, during which he shot 53.9% from the field and 35% from beyond the arc, resulting in an average points per game figure that was the second-best of his whole career.
With Butler at the helm, the Heat will never stop believing that they are more than capable of defeating any other team in the NBA.
