In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Jimmy Butler talked about how his mentality and toughness helped him stand out in the NBA.
"I’m not a god-given talent. I ain’t the best shooter. I’m not the best ballhandler. Not the most athletic. Not the fastest. But I battle. I fight. I’m tough as s— and I don’t back down. There goes my talent for you. I ain’t scared of nobody. Can’t scare me."
