Watching this after Jimmy Buckets got 47 points 9 rebounds and 8 assists to force the series to game 7………This aged well

The fact that Jimmy Butler was able to take his team to the finals and only lost because he ran into LeBron James and Anthony Davis means that he can definitely be the best player on a championship team. T-mac is right, he's just missing another piece.

I’m glad T-Mac gave logical answers to the question. Jimmy would definitely get Finals MVP if they won a championship.

The haters hate. Ballers know. Jimmy Buckets just had an all-time Great Game tonite. Banged up with knee issues but nobody cares, he just goes out there an gets the job done. Most dominate game I’ve seen since Bron was on the Cavs.

this is why i love jimmy. He’s not supposed to be here but he holds his own

Bro Pat Bev speaking to Stephen A. like he's the new executive producer has me rolling.

Who’s here after Jimmy butler dropped 47 and won game 6

Imagine being Jimmy Butler hearing this from Pat Bev

Lmao, Pat Bev and Stephen A together is hilarious.

The question should be "Can Patrick Beverley be the 8th best Player in a championship team?"

Hours later... 47 points, 9 boards, 8 dimes 😬

Jimmy dropping 47 points in an elimination game after this is poetic justice

I think Embiid and Jimmy regret giving up on that combo so soon and both are probably going to realize that giving that 2 or 3 years to gel, might have been both of their best shot at a chip.

Mac is right on this, Jimmy can be the best player for a championship team, he just needed a consistent secondary scorer to releive some of the offensive load.

Jimmy Butler just scored 47 points and got the dub Game 6 last night 🥱 made Beverly look like a fool

I love that their already giving Miami their offseason conversation like the series is over Update: ahhh justice has been served. The 47 point way

Jimmy B is actually a perfect 2nd option if you have a big man. Like...Jimmy B and Joel Embiid. Jimmy B and AD, Jimmy and Giannis.

I mean T Mac could be right maybe if they had Donovan Mitchell, Jimmy would still be the best and they could make the Finals again

I love how pat bev brought the wolves to the first round of the playoffs and is literally now acting like he’s a 6x champion.

The dude just hit 47 in an elimination game against a better team on the road to force a game 7. The only one to do that in recent memory was Lebron against the Celtics.

47 points today...

They kind of hit on it. Jimmy is a great two-way player. Because of his overall two-way ability, he can be the best player on a championship team. Can he be the best offensive player on a championship team? That's a slightly different question. He needs to have another player that is as good as he is or better offensively. Does that make that other player automatically better than him; no. He needs star level offensive help.

Thr problem is Jimmy Buttlers game isn't sexy to most people, but he's a superstar nonetheless less. He gets it done! We praise role players when they step up, Looney, Grant, Hortford, Oladipo, etc. Thr media blames Jimmy and other stars when their role players don't play well. Any star can only carry a team so far.

Who is here after Jimmy Butler just dropped 47

Man just dropped 56 on Giannis

Jimmy Butter took this personal.

This aged well.

Pat Bev doesn't know Jack bruuh

Maaaaan y'all was just saying how Jimmy could be top 5 top 10 player. Now he can't be the best player on a championship team.... Smh

Here after Jimmy's 56 points 😂😂 HEAT IN 5

here after Jimmy dropped 47 on the Celtics head

They should ask Pat Bev of he can be the best defender on a championship team? Answer is no because he hasn't won. That's based on Pat's definition.

He’s speaking facts. Yo best player can’t be turning down shots like he does

Bev talking and criticizing like he’s won championships 🤣🤣

Giving Jimmy Buckets ammo and motivation. I love it.

This ain't on Jimmy. It's on Bam. He's the most inconsistent star. If Jimmy hadn't gotten injured we wouldn't be saying all this, and the heat would be fine if he had reliable help. Trade Bam and Duncan

well this didn't age well

This aging like spoiled milk

Here after Game 6… Jimmy went Lebron 2012 on the Celtics tonight!!!! 47 🔥🔥🔥

Never like ESPN till Pat Bev showed up! Always keep a real

Love watching this after Jimmy drops 47 lol aged well

And then dropped 47 points in an elimination game

Cool story Pat

Pat bev was telling Steven a to answer the question then tmac hits him with that one question and he can’t answer it

Pat bev is something else😂🤣🤣

this is gonna age like milk😂

An Jimmy dropped 47 tonight

My guy pat is really spinning the block on the entire nba for a couple weeks now lol

Pat Bev….you ain’t fu***** won no championship neither!! Tf you talkin bout?

Steph Curry saw far more double teams in those finals than KD did

Jimmy drops 47 8 and 9 with 4 steals "jimmy isnt good enough". What does this man have to do? Win or lose game 7 jimmy butler is a superstar.

Jimmy proved Pat wrong last night

I love how people ignore the fact that Jimmy Butler is playing injured. Regular season the dude isn’t playing

This didn’t age well! 24hrs later Jimmy scores 47pts

Jimmy Buckets: "And I took that personal"

That “side piece” tmac was saying the heat needs was Kyle Lowry but with injuries and age hindering him its tuff for Lowry to stay on the court healthy.

Wouldn’t be saying that if Jimmy was healthy… Jimmy showed us his best and clearly he’s not there right now. He definitely can lead a team to a title

And in game 6 Jimmy showed mf’s he can get it done. They win game 7 if the heat can contribute

Literally aged like milk. The ring is coming

Pat is like cryptocurrency, he went from 📈 to 📉. Get the man outta there. 😂😂😂

First Take has some awful takes. Thanks, Tmac, for putting some logic on that discussion. I wonder if Beverley and Stephen A really believe half the bs they say.

Just saw this 🤣 That is why every time the Heat win, all of these fools are shell shocked on Jimmy's performance. His will to win is going to be his legacy

Who is here after Jimmy proving him wrong by scoring 47 in game 6?

Wait I thought Boston already beat the Heat the way everyone was talking …? Why are we going back to game 7 ?

Got to give it to Bev. How he wormed his way on prime time TV . Has the man of truth.

Jimmy is literally injured right now. Pat already becoming one of those flip flop TV personalities

The game 6 just ended , Jim 45 pt 8 ast and 9 reb. In your fking face Pat and Steve. He can be the scorer if the team needed. Jimmy has a killer mentality and always team first and about winning. Jim never had a good team and coach built around him. Heats was great for him and just hope he has a chance to pair with a true star or stars. He would have won multiple championships if you paired with HOF type players like LB and Curry had.

This did not aged well. Pat Bev has no business being an "analyst" shitty takes after shitty takes.

When kd was there the defenses scheme was to stop Steph curry. That’s how Durant won his FMVPs, because he was able to go one on one against his defenders, while Steph was being doubled

Jimmy Buckets 47 points against Celtics to win game 6. Bye bye Pat Bev.

Stephen A just loves the sound of his voice. Pat is succinct and to the point, so refreshing

You don't have to shoot 3's if you make your 2's on a higher clip

watching this after jimmy took the worse shot in game 7 history

When KD was on the Warriors Steph Curry was still being guarded 5 on 1, 4 on 1, 3 on 1… stop it.

I love pat Bev😂absolute menace. Best thing for first take

I know Pat Bev plays but, why can't he be...this man has lead 4 different teams in the playoffs, every year his teams are in the top 3 place in the east minus the Minnesota. He always averages 10 points more in the playoffs while guarding the best offensive player on the opposing team. What I dislike is ppl that never have been the best player on there team ever saying he can't be when the only time they have been the best on there team is highschool lol. That's why I like Tmac because, he was the best player on a team for years and he knows what I means to be the best player. There's always so much disrespect for Jimmy Butler and, it's always by players that haven't won anything in the NBA.

A week ago we were saying Jimmy Butler is a top 5 superstar to now a team can’t win with him as the best player. Watch him get 40 tonight.

Pat bev been hating on everyone since day 1 😂

I really like watching Pat , especially cause he is an active player . It’s nice to have someone like him bring his prospective even when it may not be the correct one always .

Hmmm well timing of this interesting since jimmy just dropped 47 in Boston to keep the heat alive. Does not mean pat bev is wrong per se- but does mean Pat bev saying this early today and then jimmy responding as he did tonight is pretty interesting!

Pat Bev ain’t ready for the sports analysis type work just yet. He’s still needs to learn how to read the room and keep things civil and professional.

if Durant was the best player, why was Curry double teamed and the focus of Cav's defense,

When I think about it he made the playoffs every season he's been in the NBA.

Pat Bev's really out there talking like he has Draymond's credentials. If Draymond talks like that on TV, you'd believe him because he's a proven winner AND he doesn't talk based on personal grudges. Bro you already had your 15 minutes of fame. It's getting exhausting now. He can't even look TMac in the eyes after TMac asked him a question.🤦

He missed a three in the final seconds tonight that very well may have clinched it for the Celtics. Very good player that at times shows greatness but at this point couldn't get it done.

Gotta love Pat Bev🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cant wait to see all these dudes play Pat Bev again

TMAC was actually right on this take, and that offensive guy that Miami needs is Tyler Herro who can drop a 20 on any given night but was not able to due to his injuries. If the regular season Herro is present they could won the championship without a doubt.

Miami isn't one piece away from a championship, they are literally 6 wins away from it.....at least for now. They're one lost closer to Cancun XD

Pat said he’s in a tough pickle, but when it comes to James Harden that tough pickle is in him

A healthy Oladipo with the chance to go into training camp and get some chemistry with the team is that player that T Mac is talking about. He won't get 25 a night, but he could go out there to score, make plays for others, and take some of the pressure off of Jimmy.

I’m watching this after lastnight .. he put up Lebron type numbers in that elimination game to force a game 7… he is and he can be that dude

He clearly is. If Adebayo, Lowry, and one of the supporting cast do their share (I am not saying 30 points game. I am same solid, efficient 15-20 points with defense), Jimmy had clearly shown he can do all the rest and bring the team over the hump.

That argument with Steph that Tracy made is so stupid. In 2015 he was clearly the best player in the finals although he didn’t win the mvp. The man averaged 26 5,5, had 37 points in game 5, and shot 40% from 3 in the last three games when they were down 2-1… but Iggy gets the finals MVP for holding a guy to 36, 13, and 9 wow 🫤.

Trade out any 2 players on that team for above average scorers in this league they’d be in the finals. Considering Butler is also giving you multiple steal & blocks & elite defense the whole game while still having to score 40 is ridiculous. He can be the best player on a team & win the finals.

I’m my opinion, Jimmy Butler isn’t a superstar, but he’s a star that has superstar moments. I think he’s right on the cusp of becoming a superstar.

Pat Bev is such a pest. I love it.

47 points in game 6 Lmfao 🤣 he made ya eat y’all words

Pat Bev talking like he's something. Lmao

Patrick Beverley clearly has never watched a single Michael Jordan game 😂😂😂 "can't hit the 3" bruh that's exactly why the play in is your greatest accomplishment
