Jimmy Butler is one cold dude. While destroying the Boston Celtics en route to a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals, Jimmy slid to the sideline and had a message for Yung Miami.
The Shade Room spotted the moment, which came near the end of the first half and got a smile from Miami, who was sitting courtside. As his teammates helped up a fallen ref, Jimmy spoke to Yung Miami.
Fans hit Yung Miami’s mentions to find out the message, but she would just laugh it off.

The Boston Celtics find themselves in the same Conference Finals fate as the Los Angeles Lakers: a 3-0 hole. On Sunday night, Jimmy Butler and the Miami HEAT had it all going, blasting the Celtics 128-102, putting Jayson Tatum and his team on the brink of elimination.

Butler had 16 points, eight rebounds, and six assists for the night. Gabe Vincent dropped 29 on a game-high six threes, and Bam Adebayo had 13 points composed of highlight poster dunks over Celtics defenders. Superstar All-NBA duo of Tatum and Jaylen Brown had 14 and 12 points, respectively.
At the end of the game, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla took the blame for the performance on the court.
“I just didn’t have them ready to play,” Mazzulla said. “I have to get them in a better place to be ready to play, and that’s on me.”
Game four and Miami’s chance to get back to the NBA Finals will go down on Tuesday night on TNT.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a player stay on waivers?

Who invented basketball?
While the origins of basketball are not known, many believe that James Naismith invented it in 1891, while he was a teacher at Springfield College, now the International Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), Training School. Naismith created the rules and attached a peach basket to an elevated track. He divided his class of 18 into teams of nine players and set about to teach them the basics of his new game, which he called "Basket Ball." The original version used a soccer ball, and two peach baskets tacked to either end of a gymnasium. Goaltending was not an option as players could only shoot at baskets from below. The game spread rapidly across America. In the early 1900s, professional basketball teams were playing in large arenas. Today, it is one of the most popular sports in the world.

How To
What is the best way to get drafted into the NBA?
There are two ways to become a NBA player: high school or college.
NCAA schools offer college players the opportunity to attend Duke University, North Carolina State University or the University of Kentucky. These schools offer four-years of education and training. These schools offer four years of education and training. They also learn how to manage an offense and defend. They learn mental skills that are essential for professional athletes.
Prep schools exist outside the home states of high school players. These schools offer personalized attention and focus on talent development. Students are taught how to be a good student, develop character, and practice sportsmanship.
Both types of players must pass the same physical tests before they are allowed to enter the draft. The test requires that you run 40 miles, jump over a 5’6” box, stand on one side, and throw a football through an open tire.
All players who pass these tests will be invited to participate at workouts for different NBA teams. Teams evaluate them based on their height, weight, wingspan, and speed.
Also, teams look at the player's previous experience. For instance, if a player has played AAU basketball, he will likely receive preferential treatment.
Sometimes players considered too small or incompetent to play professionally can be called "one-and gotten" prospects. These players are often chosen in the second round.
Some players opt to skip college and join the NBA straight away. These players are called "prospects." Prospects don’t need to wait till the end to declare that they are eligible for draft.
They can apply to get an exemption so they can enter the draft before others. Prospects can apply for an exemption to be allowed to enter the draft early.
Participation is an option for prospective players who want to increase their chances in getting selected. Summer league games are held in July and August.
Scouts can see players live without having to worry about injuries.
The NBA Draft is held each June. The draft is where all the top prospects are evaluated by the NBA teams. Each team gets a different number of picks each round.
For example, the first pick in the first round is the 15th overall selection. The 60th pick is the 20th selection in the third round.
After the draft, teams trade to make their rosters complete. Some teams host mini-camp tryouts, inviting potential draftees along to train with them.
Draft day is exciting! What happens?
The draft is over once it begins. There's no waiting for your name being called. Every NBA team chooses from the pool of potential players.
When a team has selected a player, it sends him his contract, which details his salary and playing time as well as benefits. He is made a part of the organization.
He also receives an embroidered jersey with his name on the front and a shirt with his new nickname.
Finally, he signs his contract. That is when he officially joins NBA.
