The only connection between Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler and NBA legend Michael Jordan used to be the fact they both played for the Chicago Bulls.
With Butler on his recent playoff tear, at least one analyst thinks he deserves some mention alongside Jordan, often considered the game’s greatest player. ESPN’s Jay Williams recently said on the show “Keyshawn, JWill & Max” that Butler is having a Jordan-like postseason.
He is averaging averaged 28.3 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists in nine games on 53 percent shooting.
