Old Clip of Jimmy Butler Saying Miami Heat Will Be "Back" Goes Viral After Prediction Comes True
At one point this season, it looked like Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler wasn't go to even come close on making good on his promise.
Last year Butler proclaimed the Heat would make a return trip and win the Eastern Conference finals this season.
"We had enough," Butler said at the time. “Next year, we will have enough, and we're gonna be right be right back in this same situation and we're gonna get it done."
The Heat are at least halfway to Butler's proclamation. They open the finals Wednesday against the Boston Celtics but it appeared so far-fetched earlier this season. The Heat, who are the No. 8 seed, were on brink of missing the playoffs when they trailed the Chicago Bulls late in the play-in tournament.
Now, they are four wins from making Butler look like a genius.
