Jimmy Butler receives praise from an All-Star

Butler is an All-Star and All-Defensive type of talent during the regular season, but he becomes something different during the playoffs (no one would understand that without watching a full NBA season). He recently made his team win the Play-in tournament and now, he took them to the Eastern Conference semifinals after defeating Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co in an overtime thriller. The six-time All-Star wrapped up the 126-128 win over the Milwaukee Bucks with 42 points, eight rebounds, and four assists.

Portland Trail Blazers superstar and seven-time All-Star Damian Lillard reflected on Butler’s performance with his 3-word message. He took to Twitter and wrote, “Himmy Butler lol.” This message simply implied that Jimmy Butler is ‘him’. ‘Him’ is a word that is used in recent times by many professional athletes like LeBron James, Odell Beckham Junior, and others to address an athlete a clutch performer, or a star player.

Butler’s performance was nothing but spell bounding and it’s perfectly understandable why Lillard praised him.
