Jimmy Butler: Why ISO-Heroball Is Costing the Bulls Wins

Does Chicago build around All-Star Jimmy Butler as ISO specialist for the rest of his contract? Unlike Michael Jordan’s time with the Bulls, there is no “I-in-WIN” for Fred Hoiberg’s choice in sticking exclusively with Jimmy Butler in the clutch. Former Bulls assistant coach, Tex Winter said it himself. There is no I in TEAM. And the Bulls no longer have Michael Jordan. They have Jimmy Butler trying TOO hard to win it all.

The Chicago Bulls have an incredibly talented young team that sputters whenever Jimmy Butler slows down the game and plays hero ball ISO and pick-and-roll with Pau Gasol.
