Jimmy Butler makes retirement statement ahead of NBA Finals with Miami Heat

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler has made a major statement by claiming that he will never play for another team in the NBA.

The 33-year-old has found his home in Miami after trading to the Heat in 2019, and has led them to the NBA Finals this season after a stunning playoff run. Butler has since picked up the nickname 'Playoff Jimmy' due to his prolific performances in the postseason, and he's now just a maximum of seven games away from winning his first-ever NBA Championship.

Butler was drafted 30th overall back in 2011 as he joined the Chicago Bulls, a team that held a fierce rivalry with the Heat at the time. But now Butler is so proud to play for the Heat that he never wants to wear another jersey again.
