Nikola Mirotic on Jimmy Butler: "I have never seen a player work harder"

Nikola Mirotic, currently a player for Olimpia Milano, has shared interesting reflections about his former teammate Jimmy Butler, with whom he coincided during their time at the Chicago Bulls in the NBA. The comments come at a time when Butler, now a star for the Miami Heat, is seeking an exit from the franchise.

Mirotic highlighted Butler's work ethic, stating he is "probably the hardest working player I've seen." The Montenegrin described Butler's intense and unconventional routines, which included visits to the gym at three in the morning with his personal trainer. "At that hour, he would lift weights, and then at five in the morning, he would start basketball exercises," he explained.

According to Mirotic, this unique approach was also evident in the team's practice sessions. "There were days when Jimmy would arrive for practice, take off his shoes, and simply sit on the side watching us practice. I would ask myself, 'Why isn't Jimmy practicing?' Then someone would tell me, 'Jimmy already did his workout with his trainer earlier.' He had his own routine, and it worked for him. After a while, I understood it."

Despite his unusual approach, Mirotic emphasizes that Butler always delivered at his best in games. "Jimmy was great. Every night, whether it was"
