Jimmy getting huge props on TNT

[buckchuckler]

Another great game by Jimmy.  That turn around J was awesome!  Jimmy may be MU's best recruiting tool in Chicago...

PS

Kobe is 7/21.  Nice job Jimmy.

7-21 (Kobe)

Phenomenal performance, including a dunk (that didn't count) where he absolutely exploded to the hoop. Awesome. Hit the two free throws after the foul was called on the floor.

"Most of the looks I had tonight were tough shots," Bryant said. "Some of the credit goes to the young fellow, Butler did a good defensively. A lot of that is on me and us, having to try to manufacture something 30 feet from the hoop with a low shot clock is tough."

Awesome.

More Jimmy praise.  Being humble and deflecting the nickname of "Kobe Stopper".

I think it's rather funny (and freaking awesome) that this is on the front page of ESPN.  Last night was a big night for JFB in nationally televised game (I'm picturing the scene from Jerry Maguire).

[AZWarrior]

Think he gets his own shoe?

Seriously - I'm really happy for JFB.  And happy for Marquette B-ball.  As was already pointed out, this won't hurt our Chicago recruiting.

Rip Hamilton said Jimmy will always pick his mind and ask him for tips he has learned about their opponent.

Rip is a big Jimmy fan.

The ESPN article stated that Jimmy's mom was at the game...thought she was completely out of the picture??

[TallTitan34]

Did it mean his adoptive mom?

[MUSF]

My favorite part of the article:

"For one, (Kobe stopper) is not my nickname..."

That's right, it's Jimmy F'n Butler!

More praise for Jimmy.
