If the Heat somehow beat the Nuggets there needs to be a documentary about this playoff run by the end of this year.
And they need to have a statue of Jimmy outside of the arena before the start of next season
i doubt it..nuggets is just too much for the heat
That is what they said about all the other teams Miami played. I still think nugget win this but don’t underestimate Miami at this point. The nugget head coach sure doesn’t after what he said today.
@@Juanito825 I think it's a team effort, that's why they're winning.
Nah you just jinxed it
“Butler. Long shot…GOOD!!!” Being there was something else. I can’t explain every time I remember that moment I get goosebumps
Harlan is on the Mount Rushmore of announcers for sure
that shi fr gave me goosebumps 🔥
every time, it's goosebumps
sameeeee (even tho I hate the heat as a celts fan)@@Ex-kt9xh
U wasn’t there
Caleb and Vincent were the true x-factors for this team. Made a lot of difference on their run
Big shot after big shot! Holding down the scoring and playing great defense. Love to see it
Agree.
I have almost triplicate my bank by now thx to those two, I freaking love them
@@cruzf.7603 Yeah, you had $20 now you have $58🤑🤑
Strus and Robinson too
Jimmy’s put back layup should go down in history as one of the most clutch plays ever
I started screaming my balls off when he made that, i didn’t care who I woke up 🤣
@@kiidevayea me 2 being a Laker fan jimmy is my absolute favorite player.
I was screaming like crazy after that
I was there and couldn't believe it
Everybody who's not giving the Miami Heat a chance to win the NBA Championship against the Denver Nuggets is forgetting that the Miami Heat are an extremely well coached team. Anything can happen for the Miami Heat with Spo leading the way. 🏆
Nuggets just better tho
@@mcrinney6659 We shall see.
@@mcrinney6659 as were bucks knicks and celtics
@@invalidusername201 Nuggets are best in league tho
@@mcrinney6659 You keep saying "tho" as if that means anything.
That 56 point game 4 then the 42 points to seal the deal set the tone for the entire playoffs
Jimmy just different but damn my guy getting old he's my favorite but his window is closing fast 2-3 yrs I think he just gonna be a shell of who he was he came along way tho from his bulls days , defender transitioned into one of the best 2 way players of this generation.
Those Butler free throws in game 6 were simply beautiful
its crazy how clutch that is because most of the other star players, even one that most call the GOAT, would brick all of them free throws.
@@quetz6335 dat da difference from being a durant and a kobe. both score at high levels but when it comes down to it whos gonna win when the lead looks far?
The Butler double dribble right before the 'foul' and leaning into a strange shooting position to steal 3 free throws were ALSO BEAUTIFUL... btw they lost at the end so who the fuck cares lol
@@ducky131 lil boy
@@ducky131 definitely a celtics fan cry
Anybody can easily see how Jimmy’s movements were severely weakened after the ankle injury in New York in Round 2. Josh Hart ruined a generational and historical playoff run that Jimmy Butler was on. One could only imagine how much better the finals would have been if Jimmy’s ankle was in at least decent condition.
And they STILL made it!
Nah frl bruh Josh really fucked it off for us making history
Butler averaged 24/7/6 against new York
25/7/6 against Boston but 21/4/6 on poor efficiency against Denver… im sorry but ankle injury or not, heat still lose to the nuggets
Man I’m looking at this almost a year later, as a Heat fan I cannot believe we pulled all this off last year 😂 praying we can do it again this year and win the finals 🤞💪
Same bro lol. Looking like Boston in round 1. No Struss or Vincent will definitely hurt a bit hopefully Rozier will be a big factor
That bucks series will forever be in my memories, that was pure legendary experience. This team is just unreal in so many ways.
Funny thing about this team is through all the blown leads through the regular season they are really used to crunch time basketball. There’s also that weird stat when they are down 10 or more they comeback a lot.
As a Heat fan, if only you understood how frustrating it was watching the team this season lol
@@weswith360s I’m a Heat fan too brother trust me I know. I’ve never been so bipolar for this team, still love em to death.😂
They lead the league this season for most clutch wins under 4 mins. Most of their wins this season are also close 32 wins. Spo said it an interview that these close wins really help the Heat what they became in the playoffs. Sometimes blowout wins will help you and those kind of close games on the season make them clutch. Leading the most comebacks this season including playoffs. They don't care about the score they just keep playing and they a great coach to do that. Heat always win in a close game. Maybe because they are so good in stops. They defend very well.
@@SpeciallyKickin last year they spoiled us with the 1 seed so we had high expectations 😂 but hell yea it was rough to watch the regular season, they’re back to lookin like last years team now with how they’e shooting it
The team is overachieving. goes to show that chemistry and good coaching can work even if with undrafted talents.
Jimmy Butler is one of those high-caliber players that every team DREAMS they had. He's not showy, he doesn't throw up his hands to the refs, he seeks out contact, and when his shots aren't falling he involves his teammates to get their offense rolling again. Back when I first started watching basketball as a kid, I revered players like Alan Iverson and Kobe Bryant, the ones who showed up in big moments and left their stamp on the game. I think Jimmy will be that figure to kids now, due to his work ethic, intensity and heart. Seeing all the highlights like this in sequence leaves me just shaking my head. I know it's not just Jimmy who has carried this Heat team to the Finals, but he is the catalyst to set the whole thing in motion. I know that Denver are some stiff competition, but if he can find that one last reserve of energy for this series, he could pull off another improbable feat. I'm so pumped to watch them play tonight!
Miami have been playing so well and made it to the NBA finals as an 8th seed.
we know this 😉
maybe they were coasting through the season, testing different lineups, and wanted to be healthy for the playoffs. They were a 1 seed last year with relatively the same exact team
@@welder5332 Lost dipo and herro anyways even if that were true lol
No shit
@@tiergas they didn't lose herro
If the Heat pulls off the championship against Denver or not, this team deserves their movie👏
Na It’s the Nuggets time 🟡🔵
Watching this while playing "The Impossible Dream" by Andy Williams in the background. Man this team has been an inspiration for me to keep going, even when life's tough.
Same man.
this. 🔥🔥🔥
This team taught us in real life how to be a dawg
If the heat win this, this will be the turning point of the league going forward… anything anyone thought that was needed to win a championship would look false
I agree, it would be a breath of fresh air for the league
It only applies if spo handles ur team
@@scarfaceplays6297 Yeah Spo easily becomes a top 5 coach of all time with a ring this year. I'd say Phil, Pat, Pop, Auerbach, Spo
Cool story bro Nuggets 🟡🔵
@@jmha2428I’m glad the Nuggets won, it was their first ever NBA championship
They should have waited two more weeks to release this video to include the Heats championship run.
never wait when you can make revenue today, that's the motto. they can release this again if the Heat win and it'll get even more views.
Denver in 5. Reality is about to hit hard. Ask Lakers & Suns fans.
@@RS-ol8or Heat not any of those teams you named. Heat in 6
correct
@@KiarRushing 😂😂😂
In the NHL, an 8th seed team, the Florida Panthers, beat the bruins in the first round in 7, beat the leafs in 5, and swept the Carolina hurricanes. They ended up not winning the Cup, but they still had a crazy playoff run
They went up at least 3-1 in each one of these series, and they were the underdog in every one of them. THINK ABOUT THAT!
HEAVY underdogs in 2 of them.
Heat beating Nuggets in 6. 😂😂😂 Go Heat
From 8 seed to champions that's gonna make history cmon Jimmy buckets
Nope, they only joined the 1999 Knicks in also falling short
But the Nuggets deserved it, they were the better team and it was nice seeing them win their first ever NBA championship
@ryanblanche1726 there first ever damn fair enough And the nuggets were just amazing I loved the competitive competition they brought to the NBA. They actually might be able to get a back 2 back by the looks of it. We're see how these rookies go
1st 8th seed in NBA History to beat the 1 seed in 5 games.
Miami's playoff run looks like Cavs 2018. Butler and James having the same mentality is insane. On the other hand, Nuggets also look like Dubs 2018.
lmao butler has way more help. Nuggets are no 2018 dubs. And the nuggets should still be the favorites here.
@@electropyro1899 ..cavs have big 3
@@regiecruz1397 what? Kytie wasnt there 2018
@@electropyro1899 so you think bron can win it all by himself? lol CASUAL FAN. Bron has Love, Korver, Smith, Shumpert, Thompson, Crowder, Frye, Jeff Green and more. That's a lotta help compare to Butler's Miami. And yes, Nugs were no 2018 Dubs but in comparison to this Finals matchup, they seem similar.
@@electropyro18992018 Cavs without Lebron is a top 3 sharp shooting team that season. Stop acting like Lebron has no help.
i want a mini movie of this playoff run including the struggles in the regular season when we win it all
Agree
like the '06 championship movie. shit was epic
Relax don't jinx us we still got 3 games left to win
One of the best runs ever, my boys the heat
Nuggets had a better one
@@bigdoge6602 yes sir
@@bigdoge6602 as a 1st seed rather than a 8th seed
If Miami pulls this off, in my opinion it'll be the greatest playoff run ever. After having played 2 playin games. Then knocking off the bucks and celtics. Then Denver (best team in the league) 🤯🤯 with a team that consists of just Jimmy and friends 😂 (like nick put it)
If they win the championship this might top the 06 trophy.
@@TheEllisPrice it would
this team is going in the historic special teams in 2k 💯💯 crazy work and deserving
Man if Josh never stepped on Jimmy's ankle then we could have had a completely different Jimmy Butler in that playoff run, could have been Milwaukee Jimmy the whole run 😮
This will inspire every 8th seeders for years to come
Just realized the Celtic's game 6 win was because of the refs. They added time back and gave them 3 seconds. But if you pause the foul at 3 seconds, Horford had yet to make contact with Jimmy. It was more like 2.5 seconds when they called it. Given that White got the rebound and shot off at around 0.2 seconds, the game should have been over after the missed shot.
The L2M report said the Heat should have a lane violation before that. Also, the 3 secs was also the right call. Celtics deserve to win that game
@@kingdinodragonite3470 Foh
Lead us JiMVP 💪🙏
Just the Miami Heat doin' the improbable things
By the time they beat Milwaukee im sure that they can beat anything and anyone.
Bam playing point forward is key to the series
Let's go Heat!!🔥🔥
exciting competition
What an epic run so far ! Next stop, Denver! Let’s go heat!!!!!!!!!
Heat winning in 6. Smh 😂😂😂
Nuggets 🟡🔵
WATCHING this GAVE me CHILLS!!!
This remind me of world cup 2022 argentina was beaten by saudi arabia, then climb bottom to the top and a world cup champion. Hopefully Miami Heat will do the same path.
BUTLER LONG SHOT GOOOD 🔥🔥🔥
I was there when Jimmy put 56 points against the Bucks. One of the best sports moments!
You are sooooo lucky
Notice butler would talk when he was up AND down..dudes him
What a playoff run!!!
If only they won man, would have been one of the greatest playoff runs of all time
Honestly I am so proud of this team even if we don’t win it all
4:12 is the moment when our expectations went from first round exit to let’s try and win it all. Even though they fell short against the Nuggets, this Jimmy Butler dunk will give any heat fan goosebumps.
best ever playoffs running in the heat story
Incredible to see it all again. The heat came thru in the clutch over and over with BIG defensive and offensive plays!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The bucks series is one of jimmys best moments of his career so far that 56 point game was insane
"Fuck"... You see Spo say it and you could it when Jimmy rolled his ankle, it was like: "Is this how it ends?"
Fantastic editing for this video! Go Heat!
9:09 Season was over for the knicks right there LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
The bucks performance in game 4. Jimmy!!
Wow intense! 🔥🔥🔥
“Jimmy Freakin Butler puts it in” 😂😂😂 gotta love kevin harlan
This current heat roster really defined what is the meaning of heat. They can play with high pressure.
Erik Spoelstra is out-coaching everyone, even his own wife!!!! lolol
HEAT CULTURE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Spolestra’s face when jimmy went down 😂😂😂
Game 4 & Game 5 against the Bucks was special. Caleb & Jimmy ballin! What a run. Let’s go Heat!!
That buzzer beater in game 6 doesn't hurt so much anymore.
goosebumps
Eric saying fuck when he thought Jimmy was injured is so funny 8:36
They were the best team in the playoffs even thought they didn’t win they proved everyone wrong
Awesome ❤
the vid i never knew i needed
What better team than the Miami Heat to be in the play-in and enter as the 8th seed and win it all.. That would be the epitome of Team spirit and commradory at the best, a story for the ages.
Greatest playoff run in History
Great Effort by the Miami Heat organization, NBA FINALS knocking at the door!!!
LETS GO HEATAND WIN❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
The Heat always have the best fans and crowds alongwith the Cleveland Cavs..and its proven through this game. They got hyped out of Butler's shot eventhough they were already ahead. Crazy
Jimmy frickin butler lmao have tnt start broadcasting him in the playoffs
I’ll always remember this season
beautiful story this season. I will be satisfied and fkn happy for Jimmy and for Joker. Both of them deserve to win the Ring by most of any other player in the League right now. PERIOD.
As a Nuggets fan im glad the Heat made it and not the Celtics. I think we will win but if we lose I would want Miami to be the ones to pull it off.
You think Boston would've gave y'all a tougher matchup than the Heat ? You're sadly mistaken. Miami is the best TEAM in the league. I say TEAM not about individual talent but about working as a unit, coaching staff and everyone knowing their role. I respect Denver too because they are also one of the best teams with the best player in the league and they don't play selfish basketball. This series should be fun.
@@salmanebennani9327 you right both woulda got stomped by the Nuggets 🟡🔵😂😂
Martin is the next thing for sure!!
For what the Heat organization, coaching staff, players have accomplished is something to marvel.....I cant believe the amount of cristiscm they getting for the finals.....Jimmy led the team from the front always the right attitude and mindset .....next level player
This some beautiful basketball man I watch this everyday to get my day started
What a playoffs journey for the Miami Heat. They will be destined champions this season.
here to say they are doubting us again.
the playoffs are around the corner,
and i think its time to remind the world.
I watched the whole video .. impressive run ..
Coach Spo uttered the word when Butler was down in NYK series game 1 but all good there are in the Finals, I want them to win it all baby!
This team is amazing, unpredictable 😮
Man watching Spo’s reaction live 8:37 to jimmy turning his ankle was the funniest shit ever as a heat fan 😭he hit the😐….. FUUUCK
Eric’s face when jimmy rolled his ankle 😭😂 8:32
8:35 I wonder what Spo said😂
SETS UP
A 3
GOOOOOOOOD
8:38 exactly what I felt when Butler was lying on the ground
Great video 👍
4 more 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🏆🏆🏆🏆
It’s very clear Jimmy Butler is made for the playoffs
BUTLER AND THE HEAT CULTURE CAME TO CHANGE ALL THE RULES BABY!!!!
HEAT 2023 CHAMPS!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Game 4 against Milwaukee is maybe the most hype I’ve seen miami it was amazing
Just have goose bumps watching this… man it would be the best run of the nba history if they won the title… Let’s go HEAT!
Amazing series
Wild ride
that game 3 against the bucks..
Heat Nation was soooo hype.
Himmy saw how nasty wade looked being that guy and said leggo
If The Heat win Jimmy’s playoff run would be up there with the likes of 2018 LeBron, 2011 Dirk, 2019 Kawhi.
If Miami wins the title the Hawks fans gonna be like "we beat the champs so we basically are the best"
very inspirational
What a journey🎉
we need more of heat action this season
The heat being through a lot im so glad to have this team now.
After Butler tweaked that ankle, he was never the same...
He went from DWade 2.0 to rookie Butler...
He eventually got his ankle back but not the same as in the Bucks series...
