"Heat in 4 MJ's son ain't playin' around": Jimmy Butler's hype post on IG has Heat fans buzzing ahead of final stretch of the season

Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat did not go on vacation during the NBA All-Star break. He was back in the gym getting ready for the second half of the season. Heat fans were impressed with their superstar, who carried them to the NBA Finals last year.

In an Instagram post, Butler shared a few photos of himself along with his friends working out in the gym. The Heat superstar is in great shape ahead of the season restart on Thursday.

Miami won't be back in action until Friday when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans at the Smoothie King Center. The Heat start the second half of the season with a 30-25 record and are seventh in the Eastern Conference.

"Kings of consistency," Butler wrote in his post.

Miami Heat fans were happy to see Jimmy Butler in the gym rather than enjoying himself on a beach or something. One fan claimed that the NBA should be ready for Butler's resurgence right before the playoffs and channel his inner Michael Jordan.

The fan wrote:

"Heat in 4 MJ's son ain't playin' around this time."

Another fan commented about the league being put on notice and Butler taking the season seriously now:

"Scary hours. We know what time of season it is when they begin trolling."

One fan shared the same sentiment about the NBA being in trouble with the arrival of Playoff Jimmy:

"Yeah, bro not playin' no more. It's wraps for the league."

Jimmy Butler just wants to win

Jimmy Butler was one of the biggest All-Star snubs in the Eastern Conference this season. However, he doesn't care about being named an All-Star or even making an All-NBA Team. He cares only about one thing: winning

"I think everybody knows that I don't care to be an All-Star," Butler told the Miami Herald's Anthony Chiang. I don't care about being All-NBA. I don't care about any of that. I just want to win, I mean it. I am who I am, man."

Butler seems focused on helping the Miami Heat ascend the standings in the second half of the regular season. The Heat ended last year as the eighth seed but still made the NBA Finals, losing to the Denver Nuggets.
