During the All-Star event, Tyler Herro, Jimmy’s former teammate on the Heat, praised Jimmy, saying, “Jimmy is a great leader. He leads by example, coming in every day with his hard hat on, ready to work. He’s a winner and has a strong desire to win. I’m sure the fans here in San Francisco will definitely love Jimmy.“

The same sentiment was expressed by Nikola Jokic, the current and three-time NBA MVP from the Nuggets. Draymond Green, his new teammate, assured fans that they are poised to win another championship with the signing of Jimmy Butler. Steph Curry also mentioned that everyone on the team is eager to compete for a championship in the West and is looking forward to the challenge.
