This is the ultimate prediction. It might not be that farfetched though and here’s a hint why… JiMVP.

3. Jimmy Butler Will Win The MVP Award This Season

Now, I know this one is a really bold claim. With stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks, Russell Westbrook and LeBron James from the Los Angeles Lakers, and Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets, this might be nearly impossible but Jimmy Butler has the ability to make this season the one where he can become the league’s Most Valuable Player.

Jimmy has to play at the All-Star level that he has been, he has to be there for his team in tight situations, and he has to win the big match-ups against other MVP contenders, while carrying his team to the playoffs and hopefully, the NBA Finals.

He has a long way to go to do it, but I would not be surprised to hear Jimmy Butler in the MVP conversation in the coming season. That’s what the prediction is here.

Now, these predictions are bold but I wouldn’t be surprised to see any of them happen. Jimmy Butler can make these happen, as he has made playoff runs before and has been included in MVP talks as well.

He has been an All-Star but has seen himself not try for it, so to speak, on certain years but this one will be different if my prediction stands true. These though, have been his three bold predictions for the coming year.
