Jimmy Butler has never been one to lack confidence, and even with the Damian Lillard trade not panning out for the Heat, he remains as confident as ever heading into the 2023-24 NBA season. During an interview with NBA TV’s Taylor Rooks, Butler was asked a broad range of questions, but one response jumped out of the bunch.
Rooks cited to Butler the fact that he called himself “the best basketball player in the world” last season when the two spoke during the NBA Finals. And her question was direct and blunt: “Does that thought still hold true?”
“Damn right it do,” Butler said.
