Jimmy Butler commented on his move to watch Nikola Jovic in the G League for the media.
Since joining the NBA, Jimmy Butler has always been characterized as a leader and someone who will do everything in his power to help the team he plays for. That’s why he has particularly well-fitted into the “Miami Heat culture.”
By appearing at Nikola Jovic’s first game for the Sioux Falls Skyforce, Jimmy Butler once again confirmed such claims. Later, he explained his move to the media. In that game, the Serbian representative was the best player on his team, scoring 26 points.
“I had to see my little man, man. I’m a big fan of his. I think he’s going to help the Miami Heat a lot and the organization when I’m done with my job here. That’s my brother, I love him to death. Whenever I have time to watch him play, I’ll come,” said Jimmy Butler and added:
“Stop forcing him to play center. Nikola is not a center!
On Sunday night, Nikola Jovic played his first game for the Sioux Falls Skyforce and scored 26 points.
