It’s officially time to put some respect on Jimmy Butler’s name. The forward scored56 points in a game 4 matchup against the #1 seed Milwaukee Bucks.

Playoff Jimmy showed up in a pivotal game 4, where it’s hard to deny how elite of a player Jimmy is. Ultimately, Jimmy matched scored the 4th most points in a NBA playoff game.

Heading into the fourth quarter, the Miami Heat were down 14 to the Bucks until Jimmy turned up the heat. He scored 21 of his 32 points in the fourth.

However, we should not be surprised by Jimmy’s performance. Last year, Jimmy lead the Heat to the Eastern Conference Finals. They were close to pulling off the upset over the Boston Celtics.

Nonetheless, the Heat were probably the worst case scenario for any higher ranked teams heading into the playoffs. It could be the reason why the Celtics opted to not push for the #1 seed.

While the Heat are up 3-1, the series is not officially over. The Bucks return home with hopes of extending their season.

Although Giannis Antetokounmpo played in game 4, his performance wasn’t good enough.
