Jimmy Butler is the captain of the Heat and his contributions were crucial to Miami reaching the NBA Finals this year.
Kyle Lowry spoke about Butler before Game 1 of the Finals, saying he has a different personality like no other.
“His personality is very different,” Lowry said. “How he treats his teammates, he treats his friends. It is unparalleled. I think that’s what helps us as a group. He might say some things or he might do some things that would be “Oh-oh!” But it comes from the best part of his heart.
“When you have a guy like that and you respect him at that level and you know he’s willing to do whatever it takes to win basketball games, that treats you at a high level. He’s our leader. So we just follow along.”
Butler averages 28.5 points, 7 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 39.4 minutes per game in the playoffs this year.
