The Heat's 7th option (Kendrick Nunn) scored 10.5 ppg. Was this the most balanced Finals team of all time? Has any other team had a 7th option reach double digit figures?

Miami is a well coached deep team. Their problem is no real superstar. Sorry, Jimmy Butler isn't a superstar. He has superstar moments, but a superstar does in night in and night out and the games he doesn't he gets crucified for it.

Jimmy Butler sure as hell played like a superstar.

But the more pressing matter is how well they share the ball. Their 7th option scored 10.5 ppg. That's insane. Pretty sure that has never been done before. Maybe a 4th or 5th option but 7th? No way.

Jimmy Butler had some superstar games, but Jimmy Butler isn't a superstar. There is a reason he has never been first team or second team all nba in his career.

Even this series as good as he was, why is he not getting absolutely ripped to shreds for tonight? When Lebron loses a game, he is crucified for it. Butler is getting a pat on the back despite being pretty bad tonight in a must win game of the NBA finals. Superstars don't get pats on the back when they lose.

Butler was INCREDIBLE: 26/8/10/2/1 on 55%

2nd option John Stockton might not make that Heat roster

It would be a tight squeeze.

At the end of the day, a superstar led team would still prevail especially if someone like Bron is leading the team. Butler may have superstar stats but he's not really a superstar. That's why every team that has won the rings have at least 1 superstar, except in 2004
