Jimmy Butler on shooting threes: 'I do not want to do that. I want to run in there, and I want to run people over'
Jimmy Butler: “I just don’t like shooting threes. I don’t think there’s nothing wrong with it. I want to run, and I want to hit somebody. You can’t hit nobody if you shoot threes. I want to see who’s going to quit first. I’m going to keep running in there. I’m going to hit you, I’m going to hit you again, I’m going to hit you again, and we’re going to see who’s going to quit. I think we got enough guys in the league. We got enough guys on my team that can shoot and shoot at a high level, but if I’m not attacking the paint, if I’m not putting pressure on the rim, who else is going to do it? That’s the way that I look at it. So as I know I can shoot and make threes at a high clip, I do not want to do that. I want to run in there, and I want to run people over.

Jimmy Butler in his Slam interview:
“It’s the time where people really gotta think about going up against the Miami Heat and myself. I know what I’m capable of. I know what my squad is capable of. And don’t nobody want to see us in a seven-game series anyways. We know that.” pic.twitter.com/EX70ejQc8B – 11:43 AM

The good news for the Bucks is they’ve avoided playing the Jimmy Butler-led Heat and the Joel Embiid-led Sixers.
The bad news for the Bucks is they’ll face the Pacers, the most explosive team in the NBA.
The Pacers averaged a league-high 122.9 points per game this season.

Jimmy Butler: “I want to do music. I can tell you this country album right now has about 62 songs. I think we’re still looking for some women to hop on these tracks with me. I definitely need that, but it’s in the mix, and it’s a banger. I really want to be the DJ Khaled. I love DJ Khaled. I think he’s a genius. He stays right down the road from me, so I get to see his house all the time, even though that has nothing to do with what you just asked. He’s just brilliant.” -via YouTube / April 16, 2024
Ky Carlin: Kelly Oubre Jr. on any keys to defending Jimmy Butler on Wednesday: “I’m not giving nothing. No keys. He’s smart. He watches this type of stuff. He gets fueled by it. He’s a great basketball player. I’m looking forward to going against him.” #Sixers -via Twitter @Ky_Carlin / April 15, 2024
That sounds like something the fabled and fearless “Playoff Jimmy” would say, doesn’t it? Only thing is, Butler continues to deny that Playoff Jimmy exists. “That’s not a thing for the hundredth time,” he insists. “Playoff Jimmy is not a thing. Emo Jimmy, thing. Football Jimmy, thing. Tennis Jimmy, thing. Daddy Jimmy, thing. Zaddy Jimmy, thing. But Playoff Jimmy, not so much.” -via SLAM / April 15, 2024
