This guy is must see basketball…… Michael Jordan should be proud of his son.
Jimmy Buckets
- Thread starter Wildcat-Lane
- Start date
So fun to watch. Takes no ******** and just plays his *** off on both ends. Tougher than a well done steak.
These college players should watch how he plays and mimic that. Plays with a lot of heart
That head butting confrontation with Smart was awesome …never seen two players head butting each other that long without somebody splitting em up lol
Edit it was with Grant Williams sorry

That team is impressive.Give it everything they have every game.Hard not to root for them to win it all.
Say what you want about him, I’d take him over a James Harden or Kevin Durant any day of the week.
Don’t @ me.
Don’t @ me.
Texted my buddy right after that and said that was about the dumbest thing you could do. Don’t fire up Jimmy
Jimmy works his butt off. If he takes a 15 ft mid range jumper it's in.
Absolutely LOVE Jimmy Butler! That look he gave Williams when he started to talk trash. LOL Then single-handedly went on to torch the Celtics. I love his swagger.
Pat Riley …culture he created and developed
I remember when most of the board trashed him when he was going at it with Kat lol
Time heals all when he's torching a Vol and Dukie and leading several UK guys on to victory. Love me some Jimmy Buckets! LOL
Yeah Jimmy Buckets is definitely a dude I’d Want on my team. Two way stud. Becomes 200% better in the playoffs and even better in the clutch. He’s the anti-Harden. Jamal Murray and him are 2 of the best playoff players in the league.
Yeah too bad KAT couldn’t have kept his leadership. Minnesota has been missing a leader like him. If they had him and got Edwards they would be tough. Already a solid 7 seed without him.
It makes no sense for how banged up they are, but it shows what continuity in the front office and coaching staff does for a team. The Heat don’t fire Spolstra when they have an off year, the keep drafting well and signing the right FA’s.
Absolutely!!! Where is that Keyser Soze poster at? He absolutely trashed Butler for not getting along with and pushing KAT. Turns out Butler was right all along.
Wasn't it something about Kats work ethic? I can't remember. Still. Butler is a stud who works his tail off. Wasn't really studly in college but worked to hone his craft and the results speak loudly. It's easy to pull for a hard worker.
Pat Riley is the ultimate NBA badass. It all starts with him.
They play, play harder, then play harder still. Relentless.
That doesn’t explain how the 7 seed who lost their first playin game and had to beat Chicago just to earn the 8th spot has been able to beat the 1 and 5 seeds in convincing fashion while having a plethora of injuries.
It’s truly remarkable.
His conditioning is unbelievable. He never seems to get tired.
It’s especially remarkable when you consider that they lost Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo to injuries at the start of the playoffs. Two of their starters and eight of their players were undrafted. Kevin Love's career was widely thought to be finished just a few months ago in Cleveland. And Cody Zeller now looks like a 50-year-old.
Hard to believe such a scraggly roster is about to reach the Finals. What Butler is doing is reminiscent of when Allen Iverson carried that motley Philly crew there in 2001.

We’ll I’ll agree on keeping Spoestra and right culture…but man what in the hell are they doing signing Duncan Robinson to that contract and why are they relying on so many undrafted free agents?
They got to nba finals in bubble and simply had not enough talent to compete. Feels like that same story will happen.
As I recall, the issue was with him bullying KAT in practice and openly taunting him for being too soft.
Which I’m sure he probably did. Jordan and Kobe were also known for bullying teammates in practice …and Jimmy seems to have the same sort of hyper-competitive killer mentality those guys did.
Doubt it. The Celtics pulled a Barnhart and signed him as permanent coach without waiting for him to complete a full season.
People always act as if this era of basketball doesn't compare to the past...
I believe the opposite. Players have developed offense that didn't exist in the 90's. The side step and step back 3's these guys are taking is next level offense. Creating separation from a defender right in their face. You didn't see that from maybe one or two guys back then. With any sport players just get better over time

Good! Unless you're from Boston, I can't see how any UK fan would root for this Celtics team. No UK guys. Their coach was on the WVU team that beat the Wall team in the tourney. Star player is a Dukie and have an annoying Vol flopper to boot. Go Heat!
Yep arguably the least likeable NBA team ever. Throw in Jaylen Brown spurning UK for California. Horford too.
