LeBron James respects Jimmy Butler

LeBron respects great players and Butler is definitely one of them. He has embraced his role with the Heat and the front office decided to trust him. Butler has helped the team win a lot of games.

Miami has played against LeBron’s teams throughout the years. Who got the best end of it?

If you ask LeBron, he will say that Butler is one of the guys who “stick out.” He is well aware of Butler’s dominance. Every game against Butler is amazing and both players do their best to win. Butler is a little younger than LeBron, but hey, the king plays elite basketball. He is the best to ever play the game.

“Anytime you’re playing this game throughout your career, there are certain guys that stick out,” the Lakers star said. “That you know when you step on the floor, it’s going to be maximum effort every possession and that’s from both sides. You’re gonna win some and you gonna lose some … It was fun and exciting to be in that much.”

“Every time we’ve matched up, no matter what uniform he’s had on, I’ve had on,” James said. We’ve always battled it out. I have nothing but for respect for a guy that brings it every single night, brings hit hard hat, punches his clock, leaves it all out on the floor.”

These two will play a lot of games together. Maybe they will meet in the NBA Finals again. It’s a long season and the Lakers won’t give up that easily. Butler’s team is doing a good work on the floor too.
