Jimmy Butler is giving it his all for the Miami Heat after missing significant time due to injury and COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
In his fourth game back against the Washington Wizards at AmericanAirlines Arena on Friday, Jimmy Buckets went coast to coast for a two-handed hammer to lead his team to a fast start.
The 31-year-old swingman corralled a rebound in the first quarter and proceeded to bring the ball past halfcourt himself. Seeing a gap in the Wizards' defense, he turned on the boosters and made a strong run to the cup.
Wizards center Alex Len tried to come over and deny the Heat superstar, but he switched too late and ended up on the receiving end of a poster slam.

Jimmy Butler has been on a tear in the last three games, scoring a combined 74 points. Unfortunately for the Heat, they've only gone 1-2 since the return of their leader. The Wizards actually defeated the Heat in their last game, and Butler is looking to exact revenge in their re-match.
The 6-foot-7 two-way star has only played in nine games before Friday's match, notching 18.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 2.0 steals. Butler certainly has a lot of making up to do, as the reigning Eastern Conference champions started the season poorly with a 7-14 slate.
