Jimmy Butler proved he is a playoff superstar on Tuesday after he led the Miami Heat to an epic comeback win in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference Finals series against the Boston Celtics. Naturally, everyone in the NBA was left in awe.

The Heat leader exploded for 41 points on top of nine rebounds, five assists, four steals and three blocks to power Miami to a 118-107 win. After trailing by as much as 13 points in the first half, Butler and co. used a 39-14 third quarter to blow the game wide open.

Butler himself outscored the Heat in the third frame, pouring in 17 points.

After such incredible display of offense and defense, the likes of Dwyane Wade, Kyle Kuzma and other NBA players couldn't help but shower Butler, Bam Adebayo and the rets of the team with praise.

Former NBA player Kendrick Perkins and veteran sports commentator Skip Bayless even went as far as to saying that Jimmy Butler has elevated himself as the top player remaining in the postseason.

The Heat have now taken a 1-0 lead in the series, but more than that, getting first-blood should be a huge morale-booster for the team as they try to get a 2-0 lead at home before the series shifts to Boston.

Sure enough, Butler will be critical in the Heat's chances. If he is able to replicate his success from Game 1, the Celtics will be in deep trouble.
