The Tremendous Jimmy Butler (johnwilmeswords on the holistic power Jimmy Buckets has access to)
, about Michael Jordan being Jimmy Butler's dad. Like many other fringe kook narratives, it’s explained with no shortage of campy sarcasm, and relies more on vibes than science. But while most goofball postulates die during the explanation stage, this one has a slightly longer credulity window.
As with Jordan, artistry is important to Butler’s game. While he isn’t one of the more pronounced on-court stylists of his generation—far from it—there is definitely something consistently more qualitative than technical about how he goes about getting his many, many buckets. He is fast, but not close to being one of the game’s fastest.
Putting all his traits together doesn’t explain his greatness; with Butler, we are definitely not dealing in simple arithmetic. There is a more holistic power that he has access to, involving his fearlessness and his great strategic intelligence but not limited to these things. A better assessment probably exists elsewhere, but here I will suggest that his true peer is Nikola Jokic. Both are players who, in terms of traditional combine-style rubrics, blow expectations out of the water.
This elite, instinct-rich proprioception is something a Yoga or Jeet Kune Do scholar is more qualified to fully explain, or maybe a sports psychologist, but on the court we know what it looks like, especially in the midst of opponents who lack it: magic. Butler suddenly fills cracks in the defense that didn’t appear to exist. He knows his defenders are falling or slipping before they do. It can look as if his onslaught of scoring is happening within an obstacle course populated by robots.
Butler’s been at it for a while, but his excellence has reached another level with the Miami Heat, a team seemingly built to employ him.
