Since Jimmy Butler joined the Golden State Warriors, he has made a huge impact on the team. The six-time All-Star has quickly become a key player, with everyone from teammates to coaches and even analysts noticing his influence.
His presence has brought new energy, both on and off the court. Many people are talking about how Butler and Stephen Curry are helping the team win again after having a rough midseason because of the Warriors’ recent back-to-back wins.
Even though Jimmy Butler is struggling with his three-point shooting, he’s still helping the Golden State Warriors a lot. His three-point shooting is only 7.1%, which is low for a player like him.
Stephen A. Smith said that Jimmy has improved the Warriors, especially by getting to the free-throw line. This has taken some pressure off of Steph Curry, and Jimmy helps Curry almost as much as Klay Thompson does.

The Warriors are getting better and building good teamwork with Jimmy Butler now on the team. Fans are excited to see how he will help them in the final part of the season.
