Jimmy Butler: I told Coach Pat, I told Coach Spo I’m here to win one. I didn’t do my job
Butler wanted badly to win the NBA title
Jimmy Butler ended the postseason averaging 22.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 6.0 assists, including a triple-double in Games 3 and 5 of the Finals in 20 games.
But it was not enough to lead the Miami Heat to a win in the NBA Finals.
Per ESPN, "This is what my team needed me to do, the organization asked of me," Butler said. "I told them that I would win them one and I didn’t hold up my end of the bargain, so that means I got to do it next year. I told Coach Pat, I told Coach Spo I’m here to win one. I didn’t do my job, so moving forward, I got to hold up my end of the bargain."
