Meyers Leonard Heavily Praises Jimmy Butler: “The Definition Of A Max Player”

 

Even though the Miami Heat lost the NBA Finals to the Los Angeles Lakers with 4 games to 2, they have been quite the playground for Jimmy Butler.

The Miami superstar was playing the best basketball of his career, nearly averaging a triple-double in the Finals.

In a radio interview, Butler’s teammate Meyers Leonard now heavily praised him, paying tribute to the veteran’s leadership qualities.

 

“Jimmy is very much, ‘Okay, let the game come to me, when I can pick my moments to be aggressive. I wanna get the young guys feeling good,’” Leonard said. “He just loves getting others involved. It’s so interesting because folks in the media, I’ve said it, this guy is literally the definition of a max player. He’s everything you want.

“He’s disciplined. He’s a very, very, very good teammate, which for whatever ridiculous reason, people didn’t seem to think that when he was a part of other organizations.

“He puts in the work. He plays on both sides of the ball. That’s the thing, this guy never runs out of energy. I am shocked at the level at which he’s able to impact the game.”
