Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade played current star Jimmy Butler for a season with the Chicago Bulls.
The two have developed a strong relationship, and Wade actually told Heat management that Butler was his man when they signed him last offseason.
Erik Spoelstra explains that Dwyane Wade swore to him and Pat Riley that Jimmy Butler would be the player who could win these games for the Heat, “This is your man. This is the next guy. ” pic.twitter.com/7rFnU2DFPE

“Dwyane swore to us,” said Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra. “He looked at us, Pat [Riley] And I realized he was dead and I said, ‘This is your boy. This is the next guy. ‘
Wade’s statement has proven to be true, as Butler led Miami to the NBA Finals in his first season with the team.
Not only that, but the All-Star proved he can take over the games as well with a decisive performance in the Heat’s Game 3 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Butler finished Game 3 with a crazy triple-double as he scored 40 points and added 11 rebounds and 13 assists.
The performance may have saved Miami’s season as it avoided a 0-3 loss in the series.
Now, Butler will look to continue that performance by helping the Heat even the series in Game 4 on Tuesday.
