The Golden State Warriors' impressive form is largely thanks to Jimmy Butler's outstanding performance. His arrival has made an undeniable impact on the team. Following this, Steve Kerr explained why Butler's influence is expected to have lasting effects.

Jimmy Butler may have lost his "joy" of playing for the Miami Heat in his sixth season, but ESPN's Shams Charania says he has found it again with the Golden State Warriors.

And three stats highlight the difference he has made: When Butler came to the Warriors, he changed his number to 10 and, in a social media post, praised some of the finest attacking playmakers in soccer history. The man called his shot. He’s playing like a true trequartista out there.
