However, Butler didn’t stay at the 76ers after that season. He wanted the 76ers to commit to him on a long-term basis. But the team declined Butler’s request and traded him to the Miami Heats. Butler seems to have remembered everything, as he bounced the 76ers out of the court on Thursday night at Philadelphia.

Conclusion

Jimmy Butler has proved whatever he had to prove in the series against the 76ers. He has shown his former team that trading him was their mistake. Harris is indeed a good player. But Butler has proved that he is far better than him. However, the way in which Butler left the arena after the match, seems to suggest that his fury is not yet over. There is perhaps more to come for the 76ers.

Butler has proved his point. Now it remains to see if Harris gets motivated to prove Butler wrong. Thus the next clash between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Miami Heat will be a much-anticipated one.
