Stripping the Tag Off Duncan Robinson, Jimmy Butler Proclaims Himself Best Shooter With ?50??Celebration

Jimmy Butler yet again orchestrated a win for the Miami Heat with certainly one of the best performances this season. The score stands 122-115 in favor of the Heat. This win against the Nets brings the Heat to the third position in the Eastern Conference tables. The 34-year-old scored 36 points, with 5 rebounds, and 3 assists. He was well assisted by his teammates, Duncan Robinson and Bam Adebayo. They scored 26 and 20 points, respectively.

What made the news was Butler celebrating his three-pointer with the “50” celebration. What might be the reason for this celebration?

Jimmy Butler, the 50% 3-point shooter?

In the post-match media conference, Butler revealed that his teammates consider him as a 50% 3-point shooter. Hence the celebration with his hands, indicating 50. He also thanked his teammates for that. In an X (formerly Twitter) post by the Heat’s lead writer, Brady Hawk, the interview is put up. Hawk just referred to the “1 for 3” and with a shy smile, Butler understood where the question is getting directed.

“I’m sick too, so I mean, I got some ground to make up. But these guys, they actually believe I’m a 50% 3-point shooter, so, thanks a lot to my teammates for that,” said Jimmy G. Buckets. The six-time All-Star aims to score 50% scores from three pointer in this season itself. Well, he is capable of doing that. It would rather be interesting to see which opponent he chooses to display this feat.

Jimmy Butler Strips the Best Shooter tag off Duncan Robinson

Further in that interview, Jimmy Butler jokingly strips off the best three-point shooter in the team. He said, ?I mean, Dunc’s a hooper. I think everybody, they skip over a lot of his skill-set and they only focus on his three point shooting ability and he’s actually not the best three point shooter on our team as we’re speaking right this second.”

When asked about the same to Robinson, he went along with it. He said that it takes some pressure off him if Butler consistently manages to score the three-pointers. He also mentioned that despite what he shoots from three, it will be second to Butler.

The Heats are undoubtedly one of the most consistent teams out there. The finalists of last season started their season a bit shakily, losing four out of five games. They are, however, back on track after winning 7 matches on the trot. It would be interesting to see how far they reach in this season. Well, Jimmy Butler is making them hope again!
