Emulating Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jimmy Butler Yells Out Own Shot in Hilarious Play vs Bulls

Miami Heat have turned their season around after a slow start. They have risen to the 4th spot in the Eastern Conference rankings with an 8-5 record. Miami was on a 7-game winning streak before losing to the Chicago Bulls in the last game. Tonight, Jimmy Butler and Co. are looking for revenge as they are going head-to-head against the Bulls for their second straight game. Jimmy Buckets has unleashed the ?Playoff Jimmy? mode recently, and he is having some fun while doing it.

Jimmy Butler paid homage to the Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as he hilariously yelled out his shot while emulating Kareem?s iconic signature move vs. Zach LaVine and Co.

Jimmy Butler emulates Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in hilarious fashion

Jimmy Butler got in his bag early as he hit Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?s iconic Sky Hook shot over the Bulls? defenders in the first quarter. He swished the shot, and what made it even more iconic was Butler?s reaction before hitting the shot. Jimmy called his shot, yelling ?Sky Hook? as he was still in the air. The Miami Heat superstar ran to his side of the court and smiled at his teammates. Butler?s sky hook was not as elegant as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but it got the job done for him.

Jimmy has been on fire in the last few games, as he has had an array of great performances recently. He is averaging 21.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.4 steals this season. Butler also got huge support from his teammates as Miami has shown the true meaning of ?Heat Culture? with their incredible team performances and wins this season. Every game has seen a new player taking up the scoring responsibility and multiple players scoring in double digits.

Is Miami?s roster good enough to win a championship?

Miami?s head coach, Eric Spoelstra, has cracked the code of winning. His journey from being a beginner during Miami?s LeBron James era to becoming one of the best coaches in NBA history has been incredible to watch. Even though Miami does not have multiple superstars on their roster, they know how to win games when it matters. They have reached 2 NBA Finals in the last 4 years, and they elevate their game to another level during the playoffs.
