My man Jimmy Buckets!

Superstar Jimmy Butler has been absolutely incredible in the 2023 NBA Playoffs, and his mesmerizing play has now led my Miami Heat to a 3-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Semifinals over the New York Knicks. And on top of that, Jimmy also made franchise history by breaking a LeBron James team record.

The Heat and Knicks squared off Monday, with Butler leading Miami to the 109-101 win. Altogether, Jimmy racked up a stat line of 27 points, six rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and two blocks. It was absolutely incredible, and completely countered the 32 points that New York’s Jalen Brunson put up.

That in itself is awesome, but that’s not the only thing that Butler did. The flashy stat line gave Jimmy sole possession of the most 25-5-10 playoff games in Miami Heat history, passing previous record-holder LeBron James. Butler now has five of these games on his resume, while James had four during his time in the 305, according to Stat Muse.

Playoff Jimmy strikes again! And it’s friggin’ beautiful as a Miami Heat fan!

Oh, man! How sweet it is as a South Florida sports fan! I can’t say it enough! (RELATED: Nikola Jokic Appears To Shove Phoenix Suns Owner Mat Ishbia During Game 4 Of Western Conference Semifinals)

In the NHL, my Florida Panthers are sitting at a pretty 3-0 over the Toronto Maple Leafs, just one victory away from the Eastern Conference Finals.

And now in the NBA, my Miami Heat are one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals as well.

How beautiful, just absolutely beautiful.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
