The importance of Butler's performance throughout this season, but especially
this series, has not been lost on his teammates. To put into context what
Butler is tasked with on a nightly basis while trying to guard James, Bulls
forward Taj Gibson compared James to arguably the best player of all time.
Jimmy Butler的重要性在季後賽凸顯無疑，特別是這個系列賽為了對抗LeBron James。
而公牛前鋒Taj Gibson將LeBron比喻成史上最好的球員...
"He's the Michael Jordan of our generation," Gibson said of James. "He's
extremely talented, extremely physical, it's just tough [defending him], man.
It's funny I was just watching the Detroit Pistons documentary [Thursday],
about how you just have to go after guys all these years. We've been seeing
LeBron over and over over the years, and every year we just kept getting
better and better. You see how Jimmy was stepping up taking those shots he
wasn't taking last year and it's big. We need everybody."
Gibson表示：
「LeBron就是當代的Michael Jordan。他天才橫溢、對抗強悍，很難去防守他。
有趣的是，我週四才看了底特律活塞的紀錄片，關於這些人如何走過那些年的。
我們過去幾年一次又一次的面對LeBron，同時我們本身也在進步，
你可以看到Jimmy取得了怎樣的進步，他今年命中很多球，但去年他就做不到，
我們需要每個人。」
