In terms of playstyle, Reggie Miller and Jimmy Butler could not be further apart. But interestingly, if you look at their career trajectories, they share a lot of similarities

  • Neither guys were considered your traditional superstars. They were never really in MVP conversations or had a huge list of accolades(Reggie Miller is only a 3x ALL NBA team member. Butler is 5x all NBA member.)

  • Neither guy really put up monstrous regular season numbers. But they both have a knack for ramping up their production in the playoffs

  • Both guys have big personalities, a natural charisma and leadership qualities to them that helped elevate their teammates to great heights. They were also extremely competitive and notorious trash talkers.

  • Both guys are known for being extremely clutch and have several iconic moments in the playoffs. At the same time, this overshadows the fact that both guys have a lot of stinkers too and their clutch reputation tends to overstate how clutch they really are in big games.

    No lol. I mean, they do have those things in common but those are so specific, you could make an infinite amount of comparisons if you’re honing in on things like that. I don’t think non traditional super star who never put up monstrous stats and had a big personality is the first thing that comes to mind when people think of Reggie miller lol.
