I Was Wrong...Again 

If you’re a heat fan you know damn well every game this year was a claw fight or blowout. What this team has accomplished is really something out of an underdog movie.

This is definitely one of the craziest playoffs in the entire NBA history. 2nd 8th seed to reach the finals, Denver making it's first finals appearance, Sacramento's first playoffs since 2007, and multiple players scoring 50 points or more.

The split from 2:38 to 4:00 made me laugh so hard I had to re-watch it several times. It’s just gold xD

not only is jimmy everything you just described but he is also very genuinely friendly and funny which is insane and adds to his charisma

This is a true David vs. Goliath Finals. A first seed that feels so solid that they are unstoppable, and an 8th seed that captures the peoples hearts, with a man that feels like he can take you to the promise land.

Jimmy went from being homeless and kicked out of his home by his parents at a young age to what he is today, thats crazy inspirational

this loss stings as a c's fan 😭 but the heat proved that when you want it bad enough you'll go thru hell & back. congrats to them, i hope they win it all

I really feel like the biggest reason reverse sweeps rarely happen is because the teams that are able to get it to game 7 are normally exhausted after giving everything in games 4-6

Jimmy: “we see flashes of Michael Jordan in him because …” Me in my head: “because he’s his son”

Actually Jimmy in a way did inspire a generation or at least he will. Because of his grit grin and determination is like a beacon of hope to aspiring players and younger generations. Dude literally is one of the few nba players who literally came from nothing was a late draft pick and still came to be one of the most respected players in the game

Jimmy… this was no joke probably the best executed video I’ve ever seen on RU-vid. The explanation. The detail. The understanding on the concept of soemthing that has seemingly been long forgotten. This was a great video

If Jimmy wins, Jimmy will indeed be talking about Jimmy’s ring.

This is so true. MJ lost to the Magic in 95 and came back extra hard in 96. Kobe lost to the Celtics in 08 and listened to the song played after they lost all year long to motivate himself the following year. Duncan lost to the Heat in 2013 and told his entire team it was his fault, he was the top scorer and had a double-double average. Came back the next year and massacred the Heat. It's a team sport but the team needs a strong leader.

If Jimmy wins. His ring would be the most meaningful ring in history

As a Celtics fan, the Miami Heat are exactly what I want the Celtics to be. Butler is one of my favorite players in the league because he really does radiate that "Ima win this game for you or die trying" energy. Game 6 this year and game 7 last year really showcase the difference in teams. In both games the Celtics were the much better team, got a lead with not much time left and just stopped playing. If Butler hits that shot and Derek White didn't happen Miami would have won both games. We just didn't have the mentality to put the hammer down.

When the music kicked on at 5:20 I started getting goosebumps. When you lead with what happens at 9:20 and finish at 10:10 I had to screen record to look back at it with ease. Something about it reminds me of my goals and my fire. That 50 seconds will stand out as my favorite bit of any video of Jimmy’s and I have watched them all. A genuine masterclass in production. As always, amazing work Jimmy. Much love

Jimmy has a killer mentality. But so does Jokic. Jokic is just quieter about it. This is going to be a tough series

I think you also have to give a lot of credit to Erik Spoelstra, because coaching's been a huge factor in all of the Heat series. The Celtics were completely outcoached. They didn't make any adjustments when they were losing, nor when they were winning, whereas the Heat have been incredibly flexible and fluid in their defense and offense. That's cause of great coaching.

I stamp that. The killer mentality that Kobe had was definitely infectious. Derek Fisher was hitting game winners and making unbelievable plays for a guy that most dismiss.

This is the main reason why Larry Bird will always be my favorite player of all time. The dude was fucking unbreakable. He was a true warrior, heart of a lion, literally left it all on the court from day 1 to his last game. It was truly contagious, you could almost see that aura around him lol... The dude wasn't the highest flyer, not the fastest, biggest or strongest. But the shear determination, heart, will power, and skill... The dude broke his back, face and all who knows what else lol Still never ever gave up on his team... He came back stronger after loses and heartbreaks. Never bitched and complained or looked for excuses and always took it upon himself to prove that he can do it better. Very few players in the history had that level of insanity and fire in them. Larry, Mike, Kobe 100% on that top of the mountain.... and Jimmy has just proven how powerful that is when he is surrounded by players and staff who understand that and who are receptive to that kind of energy. He dragged that stupid Minnesota team to the playoffs but KAT would rather play video games. He carried the 76ers but they disrespected him and kept fucking Tobias Harris over him LMAO... Pat Riley and Spoelstra also deserve a lot of credit for sure... But they ain't doing shit with any other player in the league instead of Jimmy imo He is the craziest! And looks like the Joker flipped that switch to some extent, he looks really determined and focused as well! GO FINALS, LET THE BEST TEAM WIN!

As a Celtics fan, you can’t help but admire and respect… Jimmy Butler.

I loved Jimmy Butler’s mentality. His practice intensity with the Timberwolves that got him traded, has sparked hope and life into an 8th Seed Heat team. Jimmy Butler is truly an “Alpha” leader. He has the best representation of Mamba mentality today

That buzzer beater by White at the end of game 6 was absolutely amazing. I literally jumped outta my seat. 😂😂

Jxmy truly needs to write and direct some NBA documentaries. This man is too talented

Ive been a butler fan since his rookie year. I had him on my fantasy team when he was averaging like 2.5 a game. I played as him on my first 2k game and won several championships. He is my favorite come up story in nba history. His story and his ability as a clutch takeover type player is so great. Im a bulls fan but i love seeing jimmy succeeed and show out. I have his signed jersey in my closet.❤

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. Respect to the heat for pulling through (and the celts for clawing back). Should be an intriguing finals

love that you covered this topic jimmy it’s never taken seriously anymore when it is definitely one of the most important factors in a player

There is a key difference between the desire to win vs the fear of losing. You can't rise above the occasion when you are playing scared.

I want Jimmy to get a ring bad, the dude deserves it above everyone else imo

These are the best videos or conversations in basketball. The idea of the alpha is just so satisfying to talk about. Jxmy should make a list of these players, and also players you don't trash talk

Chills bruh....chills. I think this may have been your best video to date. Got me amped to see the finals.

Denver: careful tactics and roles for different players, advanced offense to dominate the perimeter, the best player in the world Miami: THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP

This video in particularly barely had any graphs or statistics compared to your other videos, but I still absolutely enjoyed every second due to the pure effort and love you have for making these videos. If the heat themselves were a RU-vidr it would be you, hats off to you Jimmy.

was waiting for this! i truly hope Jimmy and the heat win this but it's not going to come easy

I love how motivational this is, this is really food for thought. Thank you Jimmy keep up the phenomenal work.🎉👍🏾🎈

This might be one of jimmy’s best videos. I honestly felt like I was floating during that speech

Some of us were laughing at Jimmy Butler saying they’d be in the finals in the beginning of the season. Now he’s the one laughing in his head 😂😂.

Best story telling I’ve ever seen!

Jimmy ur so awesome bro. You take what we’ve all been thinking and actually speak it. In the realm of basketball analysis, ur the goat

As someone who grew up through the mamba era, this absolutely hits the nail on the head of why I want jimmy to win this so badly. For years I've thought jimmy is one of the last few players I've seen cut from a similar cloth as Kobe or MJ. That drive, nearly insane obsession with doing everything in your power to win is something so compelling to watch, what an amazing story it would be if the Heat go all the way.

Jimmy you are truly one of the few sports commentators with integrity. No spin, no flipping at the last second. You make your views known and own them after the fact. And give credit where credit is due with objectivity. Thank you

“killer mentality” just shot 5-18 in an elimination finals game lmfao

2:36 As a boston celtics hater, this instantly became my favorite clip on this channel. I visit this clip every week so I can relive the joy I felt when the heat were sweeping the celtics

I’m still fairly new to the basketball scene but this series has been unbelievably hype. It’s gonna be a good finals

Man Jimmy always comes in clutch when you need a fire video to watch while eating 🔥🔥🔥

Long time viewer, 1st time commenter. That practice clip of Black Cat at 8:31... immediate goosebumps. Intensity that demands your full attention. What... a... fearsome... Player. And I grew up watching the guy, never seen that particular clip before (looks like Delta Center). Great work, Jimmy.

Absolutely incredible video!! The way you describe and compare all these different things gives me goosebumps. The video snippets are top notch

I think the heat embody what we want in basketball- laying everything on the line and playing with complete effort rather than relying on pure talent. It’s made basketball enjoyable to watch again and I’m actually excited for a finals for the first time in a long time

As a nuggets fan, I'm nervous about the Heat. I know the nuggets have a damn good team this year but something about this Heat squad almost has me excited. It's gonna be a great series

Dude you are the reason I've been able to keep up with the NBA after all these years! Thanks Jimmy 🙏

when jxmy gets a little HEATed, always funny🤣

Man I've been a fan of Jimmy Buckets ever since he took a couple of G-League peasants, the muffin maker's boy and a mangy goat and absolutely massacred the Timberwolves 🔥

This was such a good take on Jimmy and what is setting him apart from 99.9% of all other players currently! That mental drive and determination is visible in him, when it lacks in most others!

I’ve had a lot of respect for Jimmy since he came in the league. He’s from Tomball which is about an hour away from me so it was very easy to root for the local kid at first. But as his careers gone on he’s proven that he’s one of the most determined players the league has seen in a while

Bro, your monologues are amazing. Informative, accurate, sometimes bias but always fair. Keep grinding.✊🏿

Only Hornets fans know how good Martin could be given half a chance! Go Caleb!

I’ve never heard you with this much inflection. 😂😂 Friend, they have you messed up 😂😂

Bro almost had me in tears with that final monologue

Jimmy's talent is his basketball IQ. Top 5 in the NBA. To add to that he has some of the best reactions of all time. Noticing what his defender does in real time.

Jiimmy Butler said: "MY TEAMATES NOT ROLE PLAYERS" This is one of the best Jimmy aka Motivational videos...

“Mister 100 million dollar contract, 2nd team all-nba, Jaylen ‘Dribble off my foot’ Brown” 😂

"Winning is not guaranteed but if we are going down, we are going down swinging." THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE CELTICS MISS!!!!!

That needed to be said. Thanks Jxmy

When he ended this video with how a player reacts to losing, I was so expecting the last clip to be Jimmy after Game 7 last year, “We’re gonna be right back in this same situation, and we’re gonna get it done.”

This is one of your best videos. Very excited for these Finals. I’m rooting for the Nuggets bc my grandpa who got me into basketball as a kid is originally from Denver and he loves Jokic and is not doing great health wise. I would be so happy for Jimmy and Heat fans if they won, at the same time. This should be a great series!

Jimmy, I really got goosebumps by hearing your words/your speech actually 😅 Love your vids! Greez from Germany ✌🏽

It’s funny how he talked about the heat having this killer mentality and refusing to lose but are about to be swept by the nuggets

been watching you for years bro, its crazy how your content just continues to get better and better

Jimmy’s videos are so good that I started watching the NBA again lol

This was a great video. It made me emotional all over again. Last year's playoffs were epic. I loved watching Jimmy Bulter once again, year after year, lead his team to the highest levels...and still be the underdog. Plus Nuggets vs Lakers as such well coached teams was unforgettable.

Jim i got chills in this video. Absolutely filthy storytelling/script - bravo brother

Jimmy has held my respect since I realized the media was just on his head. He only wanted what was best for his team and he wanted to WIN. I love Jimmy, even if he goes down in these finals. he and this Heat have been somethin special

Also shouts out to Kevin Love. I'm happy to see him still succeeding. Seems like such a good dude.

I haven't been invested in the playoffs so far this year, but I have watched all the games. This video has officially made me decide who I want to win. I am rooting for Jimmy and the Heat

Jimmy has a great mentality. He is always confident in himself and his teammates despite the media doubting his team.

As a lifelong Heat fan, I am happy to see them finally getting the respect they deserve.

9:39 Honestly my favorite example of this idea when talking about the Killer mentality is Dame’s range. He didn’t have this range the whole time, but after getting swept in the first round in 2018, he spent the entire off season working on the long ball and improving. The Mamba mentality at its finest: using a loss to force yourself to improve.

😂😂😂😂😂 But this makes a lot of sense, it is taking deep dive to much truly understanding the word "greatness". Thanks man for this🤙🤟

3:13 BROTHER. HIT A SHOT. 😂

Feel like every compliment given to the Heat is backhanded lmao. As a Nuggets fan, I’ve been there. Hoping for an exciting series!

This might be the most important video you've ever made concerning Mentality, a secret sauce that has been slept on. Thanks for sharing.

Good point. Relentlessly pursuing winning and refusing to lose is rare.

Always a good day when Jimmy uploads another banger. Keep up the great work.

Lets just appreciate how much work he puts into his videos like no joke its amazing all the graphs and more

Haven’t started this video yet, but damn man, I had my meal ready, looking for a youtube video, and got so hype that jimy posted. I got my meal getting cold as i type my enthusiasm to watch this video, and I’m a heat fan in the 305! Love it, life’s good. Cheers, hope everyone has a good day.

“Morph into a human flamethrower” 😂 Absolutely epic… keep the gritty sarcasm at the forefront; we all need a good laugh with actual great stat counts. Solid.

got goosebumps. I miss Kobe. RIP

5:25 this is exactly what it is. When people talk about great players this isn't a part of it. Skill doesnt mean shit when players dont show up when it matters. Tatum and Brown disapeard while less talented players step up. When you have an all time great, with the right mentality, like Kobe, they're going to be a goat.

You almost made me cry with the kobe videos. Keep up the great content

Love how the Celtics got humbled. Talent is never enough. That grit, desire to do whatever it takes to win, thats where the winning happens in tough games.

I would say the same for jokic. He doesn’t talk, he’s a team player, always gives it his all and when he goes down he goes down with a fight. Pure hooper.

Casuals will say this is not an interesting matchup, but it’s nice to see two lower profile teams face off and get the credit they deserve. May the better team win.

LOVE U JIMMY THANKS FOR THE VIDEO

Thank you from the heart ❤️ for this video 🙏

jimmy jimmy jimmy.. you never fail to amaze me with your sheer level of delivery and entertainment and i ain’t talking about butler

The last quarter of the video had me literally tearing up. You really can’t describe it. Its not nostalgia. Those “you had to be there” moments, when you had a man on your side who rose to the occassion and wouldn’t blink. Win or lose, you turn off the game satisfied that there wasn’t an ounce more they could’ve given. In a game today that has even the most average player going home to 8 figure estates, the level of grit we’re seeing from Butler and the Heat is unheard of

your monologue about jimmy and the heat gave me goosebumps bruh i love your videos

Another great video! I get so amped when i see a new video from your channel. Jimmy butler is always fun to watch. I miss him as a bulls player (bulls fan here).

jimmys outburst on the celtics had me dying 🤣

this video gave me chills. it was such a wild ride this whole eastern conference finals. jobs not done yet, 4 more to go
