Jimmy Butler didn’t just join the Miami Heat—he ignited them.

He elevated teammates, embraced the role, and brought championship-level grit without ever demanding a roster upgrade. Even as his time in Miami ends on a sour note, his legacy is undeniable—and when the dust settles, his number 22 deserves to be retired.
