i really appreciate how you breakdown things jimmy's role instead of just going "jimmy bad" or "pat riley bad". genuinely one of the best basketball channels out there

[SheeshEther]

I love how you’ll just drop a video at any time 😂

[henrytai]

prolly the best breakdown on Butler’s game I’ve heard so far

[guacamole]

Poor guy making 146 mill on 3 year contract. Must be stressful

[KmtS]

The way you perfectly articulated my thoughts on this entire saga, succinctly and objectively, is why you are one of the GOAT content creators in this space, and i'm simply a GOAT liker and commenter of Daniel Li videos 😂

[xgamer]

I think that it is a bit weird and interesting that it seems that jimmy just saves his energy (as in really not trying in a lot of games) then plays like a super star in “important” games. Might sound simple but I don’t think so, super stars don’t seem to do it but jimmy really commits to this method😭

[Dylan-iukg]

Wow that is surprising to see he didn't want to play for Memphis. Would've loved to see him on that squad

[thomaslequesne]

An injury prone 35 years old who doesn't put in effort in the regular season struggles to get a max contract. Who would have thought.

[maharajahdann]

Very nice work, as always.
His availability is an issue, too. Even if he gets paid a lot of money to perform in the playoffs, well, he was injured last year and he's 35.
He's a risk, but there's a few teams out there that need to take one.

[b.a.]

Butler is cancer who will never win an NBA championship. Any franchise that throws away future assets for him will live to regret it

[carlloren]

In other words he's the LBJ of role players

[averagesixersfan]

imo he is, he helps shift the culture of every team he's on and despite him not trying in the reg season, we've seen all people care about is the post season and disregard the reg season (net negative overall)

[rickydee]

Yo Daniel, love the content. Any chance your gonna run thru OKC vs Cavs? Number 1 Defence vs Number 1 Offence ?

[dojo]

He's been doubted before. And he's always gotten back up.

[tony]

Jimmy Butler has been a cancer every where he goes. He wears out his welcome after a couple years

[vulkanac]

i like jimmy, but my heart goes out for every multimillionaire unhappy at his job. if he god forbid loses his job he will be sleeping under bridge poor poor man. thoughts and players go to him.

[lethargictendencies]

More people should be clowning Jimmy Butler lol

Dude is older than Kawhi but he acts like he is a kid still. Hasnt won shit, always injured/not playing and seems proud of it. Yet we hate on players that stay quiet and work hard on coming back.

Everything about the NBA is twisted these days

[mrudder]

He said he wanted to play with kyrie a while ago, i feel he could help mavs defense

[TheGbelcher]

You know you’re getting a power hair game from Jimmy. He’s gonna bring that every night.

[PlatypusLLC]

Herro got shit from Pat getting called fragil and used it as motivation. What did Jimmy do?.. Not made for Heat Culture
