The Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James praised Jimmy Butler after he led the Miami Heat to a win in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

Butler had an outstanding performance as he finished the game with 40 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists in 45 minutes of play.

“I thought Jimmy was phenomenal,” LeBron said postgame. “He did everything that they needed from him to do tonight. He came through big time in a big time game. We’ll watch the film and see ways we can be better going to Game 4.

“Love it. One of the best competitors we have in our game. Love that opportunity. For me personally I don’t how many more opportunities I’m going to have. To be able to go against a fierce competitor like that it’s something I’m going to look back when I’m done playing when I miss those moments.”
