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的重要性在季后赛凸显无疑，特别是这个系列赛为了对抗LeBron James。
而公牛前锋Taj Gibson将LeBron比喻成史上最好的球员...
"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就是当代的Michael Jordan。他天才横溢、对抗强悍，很难去防守他。
有趣的是，我周四才看了底特律活塞的纪录片，关于这些人如何走过那些年的。
我们过去几年一次又一次的面对LeBron，同时我们本身也在进步，
你可以看到Jimmy取得了怎样的进步，他今年命中很多球，但去年他就做不到，
我们需要每个人。”
