Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler gives 'brutally honest' response to Hall of Fame question

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler was asked what it would mean to one day be an NBA Hall of Famer, and the 33-year-old responded in brutal fashion as he snubbed the award.

Butler's former team-mate and ex-Heat point guard Dwyane Wade is heading for the Hall of Fame after winning three NBA championships and being named an All-Star on 13 occasions. Butler is a six-time NBA All-Star, but is yet to scoop up a single championship.

While accolades may not be there for Butler, the Heat forward has picked up the nickname 'Playoff Jimmy', and is becoming rather iconic during postseason games. But despite his popularity and possible eligibility to be a Hall of Famer in the future, Butler isn't remotely interested.
