CHICAGO — Although it once again didn’t end with a ring, the 2023 NBA playoffs added another chapter to the lore of ”Playoff Jimmy.”
That nickname has hovered around Jimmy Butler throughout his 11-year streak of playoff appearances — and apropos of any memes or jokes, his postseason impact is undeniable.
Over the last four seasons, Butler has averaged 24.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists in the postseason while leading the Miami Heat to 38 playoff wins and two Finals — the best record in the league during that span.
