JB 3

Jimmy Butler · Golden State Warriors · Forward

A Chinese-brand max deal that bought pinnacle tech: carbon plate, Boom foam, and the tackiest rubber compound in hoops.

The Player

A relentless two-way competitor who saves his best for the playoffs — 'Playoff Jimmy' is not a myth.

Why It Matters

Butler bet on himself with a Chinese-brand max deal, and Li-Ning repaid it with genuinely pinnacle hardware — full-length Boom foam, a carbon spring plate, GCU rubber so tacky it borders on adhesive. The 'Take the Step' colorway tours through China show how big the JB line is on the other side of the world.
