    This is definitely one of the craziest playoffs in the entire NBA history. 2nd 8th seed to reach the finals, Denver making it's first finals appearance, Sacramento's first playoffs since 2007, and multiple players scoring 50 points or more.

      Im actually kind of glad the heat won. From a talent perspective, especially without herro who gives them nearly 20 points per game it wasnt close. 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.

      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.

    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.

    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!
    And looks like the Joker flipped that switch to some extent, he looks really determined and focused as well!

    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.

      2 seasons ago: Physique
      1 Season ago: Accuracy and post moves.
      This season: defense
      Jamal Murray has that killer in him too. You know how hard and nearly impossible it is to come back from an ACL? Let alone come back BETTER?

Plus to be fair as well Embiid almost won the MVP a couple years back if he didnt get hurt.
      I think Jokic deserved the MVP this year but Embiid if he didnt get hurt would've won a couple years ago too. So I guess they gave it to him with consideration of that and the scoring average in the regular season

    Saw and experienced this at every level of basketball. One of my greatest memories was playing in a pickup game at college on open gym night. The college team players dropped by to see what was going on. Many of us were in awe at the talent in the gym, having watched them in many games. They decided to play a few games with us "scrubs". Myself and 4 other moderately capable players matched up. Just be we started we came together and said "give it everything", all the while expecting a thorough beating.
    But, we fought for every possession, rebound, steal, and block. We dove, scrambled, and sprinted. And we found ourselves up by five.
    The college team players were a bit surprised and perplexed. We saw them mentally change gears. The fouls got harder. The drives more aggressive. The intensity kept rising.
    In the end we lost by 2. Everyone was winded and drenched. It was awesome!
    Give me 5 guys with some skills and a mountain of heart and determination any day.

    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

He has a better true shooting percentage than Tim Duncan and shot 47 percent with Shaq that's about the average of all elite shooting gaurds Reggie, Vince, mac, kyrie, Clyde, not sure about wade but I think him too. If he shot the same as Kobe he would shoot at a 38% clip. Kobe is the best tough shot maker in history there is a reason he averaged 32 points on 54 percent shooting throughout the 2009 playoffs. Kobe is inefficient is the most overblown myth in NBA history and it's not a valid criticism when you won 5 rings, 2 finals MVPs and an MVP being "inefficient"

    Excellent video. Love the buildup and conclusion, even the p.s. part where you put it into perspective.
    Like many, I also underestimated Jimmy Buckets. However, I predicted them to win over the Celtics, as they have shown last year to be less resilient than is needed for a championship. Even the incredible game 6 win was something I didn't expect from the Celtics. I think they got outplayed and outcoached quite convincingly.
    Also it is fun to see a bunch of undrafted guys play at their best and step up during the postseason. The league is full of really insane basketball talent and its rare that with all the high-profile starplayers that we get to see it from the lesser known guys.
