Took you 2 days to come up with that? Talk about living rent free in someone's head...

Thanks for the bump though. Guy will be praised for his "toughness" tonight.

No it took me 3 seconds.

Jimmy is one of the most overrated players in the NBA. Not Trae Young overrated, but still...

Now that is a Hot Take. Props for going out on that limb.

I think Jimmy's pretty properly rated. Not good enough to carry a team to a title by himself, maybe not even good enough to be the best player on a team to win a title (unless you're in a bubble, maybe). But one of the better 2 way players in the league who has worked his way up from a grinder to a true star.

According to the anonymous survey of NBA players by The Athletic, Butler ranked tied for 4th place of the most overrated players in the League. Trae, of course, won by a landslide.

So 6 players said Jimmy Butler. 5.6% of the 108 players surveyed. Not really a big number.

Maybe 1 of those 6 was the guy who picked Tracy McGrady as the greatest basketball player ever.

Yes, Tracy McGrady.

Sam Hauser got a vote for most underrated. Can someone vote for themselves?

That seems like a large number when you consider the 400+ players in the League.

As Wades said, he is a very good player. Nothing more. Nothing less.

6 players is a large number? Could be 6 players who he has beef with (Chris Paul, Ben Simmons, TJ Warren, KAT, PJ Tucker, Joe Ingles).

Personally I think he is rated properly. Top 20 guy, not a superstar.

Another Hot Take! I love it.

Sucks that De’Aaron Fox has a broken finger on his shooting hand. He’s been spectacular for the Kings, especially down the stretch in games, and this is a big break (so to speak) for GS.

Or maybe all the guys who voted for Trae Young just don't like him.

Ultimately I pretty much agree - Not a superstar. and I have him very slightly lower as top 25 guy.

Could be, it was a "survey" by the athletic. Not exactly scientific.

If Jimmy is around your top 25, he's not "overrated", he received a few votes for 3rd team all nba. Nobody is saying he's Giannis, Steph, etc. Except maybe withoutbias.

Reggie Miller says Butler might be the best player in the playoffs so far.

Just might be, aina?

Looking at this game you'd almost think the Bucks were playing without the best basketball player in the world this series

Reggie has as many rings as Jimmy, so I get why he might say that

#22 can get a basket any time he wants it, hey?
