What a drought if scored on just three of their last 25 possessions.

I don't think anybody feels good about this right now.

Pump fake and drive outside his passing gulf.

The teeth got hardwood in front way.

No, were people.

We know what we gotta do.

Jimmy.

How would you describe the way the Miami Heat or playing basketball right now?

Terrible.

Terrible.

Just terrible.

Not the way that we say way.

Want to play?

Not the way we're supposed to be playing.

But it's okay because we were turning around like the same says Better late than never.

Okay, so can you fill in the blank for me at the end of this sentence?

The Miami Heat.

Get back to the NBA Finals if we win some games.

If we win some games, that's cheating.

That answer is cheating.

You know?

What about you said Finish this sentence.

So I finished the sentence.

We know when adversity hits were supposed to be better.

We're supposed to get better on bring everybody up with us.

Um, maybe here and there.

We forgot that we will get back to it, though I promise you that we will the bubble was so strange, it did attract the attention of so many non basketball fans.

You were so isolated inside of it.

But you got out.

Was there any particular meeting with a stranger or any sort of incident that you were like, Oh, I'm a lot more famous than I was when I went into the bubble, you know, The craziest thing was, it was all about big face coffee.

Everybody wanted to know about big face coffee.

Every I was going to the local coffee shops around Miami, everybody would ask So big faces, uh, the thing of the future.

They were checking out the competition.

Jimmy.

They just want to know it's getting there.

I will say, though, just when you think you're famous.

Jimmy, you were just a clue on Jeopardy and the final clue hoops for 1000.

Recently, this baller barista launched Big Face coffee and turned his new team, the Miami Heat, into a title contender way were looking for Jimmy Butler.

Yeah, I think he should have done a better job of describing me and $1000.

That's not enough.

They were probably like we need, like, $2000 that'd be, you know, well worth knowing who that individual is.

I wouldn't answer who I was for $1000 just to let you know.

Of course, the biggest challenge for you this year for everybody has been co vid.

Your team was hit really hard.

You were out for 10 games with coronavirus.

The reports were that you lost £12 in one week.

What was it like for you?

How scary wasn't?

Yeah, it's scary.

Don't believe reports of May losing £12 either, because that's that's not the case.

I had a light headache and I felt like I was ready to go.

I wanted to compete.

Obviously you cannot do that.

But it didn't.

It didn't hit me that hard.

Let's talk about a few things that have happened since you've been back.

You guys played the Knicks and look, you hit the deck at the end of that game, you stay down.

You were looking for the flagrant foul.

And then you have the mischievous grin.

Jimmy, you peeked out.

You couldn't help yourself.

How do you wait?

You're acting job Now that you've had a chance to look at it is 10 the highest Yes, tens.

The highest tin come on, that is elite broke character.

It doesn't matter that I broke character, but everybody was like Something's wrong.

Something's wrong.

All right, Elite, something's wrong with my mental.

But But everybody was like, Oh, my gosh, everybody spoke.

He did one of those gas.

So I know, I know I got a career in acting coming soon that was not actually your first acting gig.

You are from Texas.

Everyone knows you're a country music fan.

I don't know what people know.

You are actually in a Luke Bryan video, though I would like you to rate your performance there as well.

Is 10 the highest 10?

Also the highest 10.

I'm a video vixen.

Come on, you gotta understand this type of stuff.

You put me in a music video and I think I had braids in the video at the time to I mean, I was I was a 10 in the video, given a 10 a dime in the music video acting as a team That's crazy.

This historic 2020 MBA championship belongs to the Los Angeles Lakers.

We're about to see a finals rematch.

Heat versus Lakers When you look back at the finals, Are you more happy that you were there or mad that you didn't win?

Definitely mad that I didn't win.

Like, who wants to get that close to something and lose hurt?

It really makes you mad, But we're different team way.

Want to show that we could beat?

So that would be a good start.

Beat the guys that sent you home.

L A is missing one of its big guns right now.

Anthony Davis is hurt.

What do you expect the game to be like?

They say they still got LeBron.

They still got some really good players taking our chances like I do every night.

It doesn't always end up in the win in our favorite, but going into it, I like our chances.

I really do.

So coming up, I'm taking the heat.

I'm thinking about all the games I've seen you play LeBron over the years.

All the different uniforms.

You've both been in matchup after matchup.

You love being out there against him.

You can always tell.

Why do you relish those so much?

I wanna beat him.

He always beats me when it matters.

We all know that.

But I really enjoy going up against the best just to show that, you know, I'm up there somewhere around that level.

E mean people, people him.

You compete with anybody.

We're going to see that mischievous grin again on Saturday night.

Yes, you will.

And in the playoffs later on this year, I could book it.
