Why Collin Sexton makes sense for the Miami Heat: He fits the Jimmy Butler mold
From all indications, Sexton fits the Jimmy mold of professional basketball players. He’s tough, a true competitor, and doesn’t back down to anyone. We saw flashes of that hard-nosed player in college when he – literally – played 3-on-5 while going for a 40 piece.
There are plenty of examples of his ruthless trash talk and even this viral video which included an epic staredown. Plus, on the court, he’s one of the most ruthless competitors night in and night out.
And if he gets up for competition while playing for the lowly Cavaliers – no offense to Cleveland – I can’t help but wonder how much more he’ll be in a position to flourish than with the Heat. Plus, you know Jimmy is going to feed into that competitiveness.
It’ll either be a match made in basketball heaven or an absolute disaster. Either way, it should – or would – be fun.
