Jimmy Butler

At peace with the ball in his hands and the game on the line, Jimmy Butler is a case study in performance under pressure. After a quick huddle under the hoop with floor general Kyle Lowry, the Miami Heat star calmly advances the ball up the floor in the final seconds of a tied game, methodically forces a favorable defensive switch, then punishes a smaller defender with textbook stepback jumper as the fourth-quarter buzzer sounds. Butler’s heroics, including 28 total points on the night, downed the Chicago Bulls in the December 16, 2023 contest.
