Jimmy Butler has five of the highest playoff game scores (tied with MJ/Lebron)

[StrongLurk]

He has FIVE playoff games in the top 39 playoff game scores of all time (7, 13, 24, 31, 39). All of these games came in the 2020, 2022, and 2023 postseasons.

Only Lebron and MJ have as many games that have a game score in the top 39 all time for playoff games...and they each have five as well.

How the **** does Jimmy Butler do this?

Lol easier league to score in

This is true compared to basketball over the last 30 years or so...but why aren't other stars doing what Jimmy is? Dude has legit been a top 5 player in the playoffs since 2020 (except 2021 when he wasn't healthy due to the short offseason/long bubble playoff run), with some absolutely insane games.

Top 39 huh....

I wonder why you picked that number. 39.....

[StrongLurk]

Jimmy/MJ/Lebron each have 15 of the top 39 game scores...that's why I stopped there.
