The Miami Heat are back! Starting out the year on slippery footing, the Miami Heat have once again found themselves in the throws of contention.

It isn’t by chance though, as they have had to put in quite a bit of work to make it to this point. While good health and good fortune are major parts of what has helped them get back to this point, it really all revolves around one guy.

With that, that’s where the list starts today. Here are the five players you want on the court for you.

Jimmy Butler

Jimmy Butler is the ultimate competitor. He’s the competitor’s competitor.

If there was a picture in the dictionary side the phrase “will to win”, it would be Jimmy Butler’s. An unmatched preserverance and capacity for greatness, Jimmy will always make sure that he gives every last inch of everything that’s in him to give his team a shot at glory.

What really makes Jimmy Jimmy is the fact that you’ll always get that supreme effort on both ends of the floor. Just as well as he will make the huge shot for you to close the game, he’ll make a huge play on the other end of the floor.
