14 years in and the Coli’s Favorite Son Jimmy Butler still Ringless. Turned into Tyrone Corbin in the finals. Maury: “MJ YOU ARE NOT the Father”

Fixed. As if this poor performance is gonna change that neither of the Jay’s can string together 2 dribbles in a row when it matters

You’re a butt-hurt Nets fan mad that the Celtics Still ENDED the Harden, Kyrie and KD experiment. 11 Ls in a row for them frauds Vs the Celtics.

Absolute worst thing to happen to basketball discourse. People act like winning ONE ring is easy, and like multiple rings isn't a lot when it is...

Butler isn't a loser. He's not a losing basketball player. Dudes saying either of those are tripping...

The Butler issue is dudes went overboard gassing him, he went from a little underrated to pretty well overrated really quickly. I've been saying it: we can give him his appropriate salutations while still keeping it honest on his flaws...

Quite the contradiction, dare I say you’ve been infected and don’t realize it. Bc yea ‘People act like 1 ring is easy’ but also people act like 1 iconic playoff performance is easy. He scored 56 points a MONTH ago

You know what’s a perfect example….Reggie Miller. Reggie Miller scorerd 25 in the 4th in the garden. On a short list of most iconic moments in nba history. And guess what? If that happened today Reggie would be crucified bc THEY LOST THAT SERIES, were up 3-2 and cHoKed. He went 8/21 with a chance to close at home. Nggas would erase his moment within a week, with a straight face.

It’s trash breh. It’s disengous, its dismissive, it’s feminine, it’s cac-ish, it reaks of nggas who never played competitive sports. Modern hoops discourse is trash

 

[Raquinotj]

pretty sure only cacs and corny gen z kids call him that

He filed a trademark that so he was believing that himself. Better start trademarking “Jimmy ringless” as well.

 

[Champion]

I've never been a fan...even when he was playing for the Bulls. All that talking yet he's inconsistent and only averages like 20 points a game.

 

[Raquinotj]

Clowning LeBron all these years was the worst thing that ever happened to hoops dialogue


Now it’s ‘getback’ time, if that logic applied to bron well now it apply to everybody. If you ain’t win the chip you choked and you a loser

nikkaz wanna move the Goalposts now. If LeBron, Curry or any other superstar loses in the finals they “choked”, the Coli wants to give Jimmy a pass…

 

[GOAT]

Dude probably had this ready to post whenever the heat lost like it ain’t even that serious

Heat fans were making the same exact threads about JT after last year’s Finals.

Difference is JT was 24 and Jimmy is 33

 

[madness]

He had his worst series of the playoffs. It is what it is Hope we get him some help this offseason so he doesn't have to shoulder the load

 

[///Vega+++]

He ain't no superstar
Stop it

Again, this is disingenuous. It’s a game of telephone, we held bron to that standard bc he’s in the running for GOAT. Curry is in the running for top 10 all time even higher. Their standard is not the same as Jimmy butler who JUST barely stamped himself as a likely Hofer and in 13 years ain’t never been looked at as a bonafide “superstar”.

Like why tf would anyone judge Jimmy butler with the same rubric as LeBron James. Common sense has been completely dissolved in favor of people just doing whatever to bolster their debate

 

[bl2k8]

nobody stans Jimmy enough and the media never talked about him enough to have legit heated arguments on his legacy. Dude peaked in his 30s

 

[Roger king]

I will never forgive imbeciles on this forum for comparing butler to all time greats like curry, bron etc
He isn't a good enough player to win a championship with, he is too inconsistent and always chokes on the big stage
In an elimination game he scored 21 points shooting 5-18 there is no excuse for that, not even injury because lebron had 40 points in year 20 on a bad foot and the blame was put entirely on him.

Butler is not that guy..if the heat wants to win a ring they have to get rid of butler and have a better player as their clear no 1

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

pretty sure only cacs and corny gen z kids call him that

You need to look around these boards then lol. Also, Heat don't make the finals if Tatum doesn't roll his ankle anyway

 

[GunRanger]

Traveled then threw the season away.

He didnt travel

 

[prophecypro]

Edit double post

 

[prophecypro]

Plays above his capability in moments. This was the first series where it felt like he didnt
.
For that fans of teams he's on love him and others despise him for that.

I honestly thought he was going to decline after last season cause he had that knee issue in the playoffs and was in his 30s so I was surprised with his run earlier.. Im expecting him to decline within the year or so but puts in work its just some people were gassing up that Lebron comparison (To be fair Im sure half of that was jest cause Heat fans got jokes)
