Playing off a HoopsHype.com list that has Jimmy Butler as the sixth best small forward going into the 2024-25 season, Ethan Skolnick and Alex Toledo debate whether Butler should be higher — and whether they’d rather have him than some of the players above him (like Jayson Tatum and Paul George) when it matters.

If Jimmy Butler is "disrespected" by anybody, he brought it on himself by disrespecting the regular season. He needs to have a JIMVP season this year and let's get this damn championship
I donโt understand how we can nit pick with a guy that led us to two finals appearances when we have a Tyler Herro that has done nothing in the playoffs since his rookie year.
Gimme a break with the Jimmy "disrespect." Id definitely take Paul George and Kawhi over Jimmy. Im not a Tatum fan, but I'd also take him over Jimmy. Jimmy has been bailed out several times in the playoffs. Besides the Bucks series two years ago, Jimmy was not that great. Shooting on average 41% from the field is not good.
they ranked him appropriately. jimmy is not better than those 5 guys in any dimension or timeline. pg is 100 percent better than butler and i love jimmy
Tatum being no.1 is recency bias. Bro was carried in the playoffs ๐
PaulGeorge should definitely not be above Jimmy Jimmy has taken his team way farther
Imagine talking about Tatum getting โcarriedโ in the postseason when he led his team in all stats to a chip, and has the highest points in a Game 7 ever.
Meanwhile Jimmy was carried in the ECFs by Caleb Martin. Yโall are blinded by a couple of great postseason performances by Jimmy like he hasnโt had several subpar ones too. Btw Tatum has better postseason stats than him while being almost a decade younger. No exec in their right mind would choose Jimmy over him.
Itโs ridiculous to say Tatum doesnโt have big playoff games when he literally has the highest playoff points in a Game 7 ever. Absolutely no one with a brain would choose PG etc over him to win you a playoff game. You guys sound like casuals, just cos you donโt like the Celtics. Youโre the ones with recency bias. This is gonna age so badly when Jimmy continues to suck. And yโall will deserve it.
U guys need to step into 2024
You guys are sad
