Jimmy Butler expressed his desire to secure a championship for the Miami Heat and retire in the city, emphasizing his deep connection with the community and his commitment to bringing success back to Miami.

He aims to lead the team to achievements reminiscent of the era of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh, highlighting his determination to make a significant impact once he fully recovers from his knee injury.

“I feel at home, man,” Butler said. “I really care about the city, I really care about the people in this city. Miami has embraced me. They’ve wanted me to bring them something they haven’t done since LeBron, D-Wade and C-Bosh.

“And I want to do that. So as soon as I get this knee back right, I’m right back on they ass and everybody know it.”
