Per StatMuse’s Justin Kubtako, Butler is the first player to record two triple-doubles in his first NBA Finals, the second player to record two 30-point triple-doubles in the NBA Finals (LeBron James did so in 2015), and the second player to record at least 20 points and 5 assists in each of his first five NBA Finals games (Michael Jordan did so in 1991).
Butler will never challenge either LeBron or MJ in terms of all-time greatness but, by putting his name in their company, he’s done nothing but illuminate the level of his talent.
