Philadelphia 76ers star Jimmy Butler has now nailed two game-winners through only seven games with his new team. Sunday night's heroics against the Brooklyn Nets brought a sure sense of deja vu for his teammates, and with great reason, as it was from the same spot and with the same rhythm combination as the one he made eight days prior against the Charlotte Hornets, spoiling Kemba Walker's 60-point avalanche.

The resemblance between the two shots is uncanny — and likely one he won't be able to use for too long, given the NBA's rabid scouting system and the ensuing emphasis on guarding that right-wing 3 in clutch situations.
Jimmy Butler has gotten off to a blistering start in his new uniform, shooting 55 percent from deep in his seven games with the Sixers, now blessed with the commodity of two other star players that mesh with his skill set a lot better.
The Marquette alum has nailed eight of his last 10 3-pointers and has shown no signs of slowing down, as he has picked up on Brett Brown's playbook and assumed a welcomed role of leadership in this locker room — something that has led to the emergence of Jimmy Butler as the closer for this team.
