“Jimmy Is About To Be The Butt-ler of Many Jokes!”: Skip Bayless Berates Jimmy Butler For Abysmal Game 6 Performance

Jimmy Butler produced an absolute masterclass of a performance in Game 4 of the Milwaukee Bucks-Miami Heat series. With Giannis Antetokounmpo making his return after a 2-game absence and the Bucks gaining a 15-point lead, Butler pulled off one of the best outings we’ve witnessed in NBA History.

Breaking a bunch of impressive records and achieving some spectacular feats, Jimmy Buckets erupted for 56 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 assists.

Helping the Florida-based franchise gather a 119-114 victory, Jimmy’s sensational display has given Erik Spoelstra’s boys a 3-1 series lead.

Skip Bayless calls Jimmy Butler the most patient, cleverer, and craftier scorer ever

The entire basketball world was raving about Butler’s outstanding night.

Joining the likes of many other analysts from across the world, Skip Bayless also praised the Heat’s 6-foot-7 forward.

An extremely critical figure, the “UNDISPUTED” analyst went on to call Butler the most patient, clever, and crafty scorer he has ever seen… Michael Jordan included!

On the latest episode of the show, the 71-year-old spoke highly of the 6-time All-Star’s scoring rampage.

“In all my years of watching and studying the National Basketball Association, I have never seen, this is including Jordan, a more patient, cleverer, craftier scorer than this guy because he’s totally in rhythm. It’s all at his own speed.

In all my years, I’ve never seen somebody start so hot, make 9 of his first 10 and then finish so hot in the 4th quarter, where it seemed like he’s making every shot and every free throw.”

Jimmy’s playoffs career high is more than the career highs of LeBron James, Allen Iverson, and Co.

Butler’s 56-point night marked the first 50-point game in Miami Heat franchise history.

Further, Jimmy’s new career high of 56 points is more than the playoff career highs of the likes of LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, James Harden, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Kevin Durant, among a long list of other generational scorers.

If the former NBA MIP manages to consistently record such outings, the Heat can certainly make a deep playoffs run, upsetting several powerhouses along the way.
