Watch Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler Inspire Young Fan In China

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler recently wrapped up his tour of China to help promote his partnership with Li-Ning clothing apparel.

Before leaving, he was treated to one young fan explaining how Butler and the Heat's run to the NBA Finals was inspirational.

"When I tried to give up, I reminded myself how you performed in the playoffs this season," the fan told Butler. "Your strength taught me how to face challenges. Even our team lost in the school tournament, I think we will be much better just as you did."

The Heat made history by becoming just the second No. 8 seed to make the Finals, joining the 1999 New York Knicks. They lost to the Denver Nuggets in five games but are expected once again as one of the top contenders in the league next season.
