What if he makes the finals again?

He’s the 3rd best player in Heat history. All time he’s in the Kobe Magic Bird tier tbh.

Jimmy is in that Ray Allen, Paul Pierce tier of player.

A top 15 player in the league. A top 100 player all time.

Comfortably in the Top 150.

None of those guys ever had multiple 40+ point 4+ steal games in the same series. His game last night was better than anything we’ve ever seen from Kobe

The more I think about it, you’re right. Jimmy is in the tier above

All time rankings are not based on an individual game, series or season, Einstein.

Jimmy Butler is averaging 24 points for the series, frickin Jason Tatum is averaging 24.8 for the series much less KOBE MAGIC OR BIRD's best series, lol

Jimmys hurt, he’s been the best player in this series and in these playoffs by far. That’s not even debatable

Kobe played through more injuries than anyone I've ever seen and I never rooted for the guy. He also averaged 8 seasons with more PPG for the playoffs than Jimmy is doing this season.

Jimmy has great peak games, but he also poops the bed sometimes.

They are when they support my stance

Alright I’m done, I just see the horrible outlandish takes on the GB all the time so I figured I’d join in on the fun. I’m just messing with you all outside of Jimmy easily being the best player in this series and in these playoffs.

No. He has to win rings for that.

I think AI had more or was really close.

I don’t know, too 150 maybe top 100

But playoffs yimmy? Yeah that’s a different discussion

NZB2323 · Post #19 » by **NZB2323** » Sat May 28, 2022 7:58 pm

Shouldn't Butler be ranked ahead of Pippen? Pippen won 1 playoff series as the man, and 37 is the most points he ever scored in a playoff game.

Butler 2022 playoffs: 27, 7, and 5, 60.3 TS%, 30.3 PER, is in the ECF.

Pippen 1994 playoffs: 23, 8, and 5, 52.1 TS%, 22.8 PER, loses in the 2nd round.

That's about where I'm at with it. It gets difficult trying to sort through that massive list and history of players. We know he's not top 75, so trying to go from there is still tough.

With these all time lists, it comes down to accolades and Jimmy just doesn't have a lot at any level of basketball.

He won a gold in 2016 but wasn't a big part of it. As a senior in college his team went to the sweet 16. In the NBA he has a couple accolades here and there but never won a ring.

Top 150 sounds about right to me.
