Knicks' Josh Hart Jokes Heat's Jimmy Butler 'Does Side Quests' Until NBA Playoffs

Ahead of Tuesday night's matchup between the New York Knicks and Miami Heat, Knicks guard Josh Hart made a hilarious-but-accurate observation about Heat star Jimmy Butler.

While speaking to reporters, Hart used an analogy to describe how Butler turns up the level of his play as the postseason approaches.

"Jimmy kind of does side quests during the year until about April," Hart said. "Then he starts locking in. I'm sure people are going to see that maniac competitive side now that he's done with the side quests and he's on to the main quest."

Of course, "Playoff Jimmy" has been proven to be more than just a fun nickname.
