Watch as Jimmy Butler throws down a nasty alley-oop over Dwight Howard.

The Chicago Bulls‘ Jimmy Butler has been having an absolutely fantastic season so far. Watch as Aaron Brooks finds him cutting through Dwight Howard’s neighborhood and Jimmy goes up, adjusts in mid-air and throws down one of the nastiest oops all season.

Jimmy has been a monster for the Bulls and not many people other than Jimmy or Bulls’ fans saw it coming. Most people have been truly shocked at just how good he has been. So far on the season Jimmy is dropping 22 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.6 steals, and .7 blocks per game and could possibly be in line for the NBA most improved player award.

Anyone who has watched the Bulls play even just a couple of games, knows just how good Butler has been this year. Even with the arrival of Pau Gasol, Jimmy has been a key in the Bulls 25-10 record that is good for second place in the Eastern Conference. Jimmy has been an amazingly versatile player for the Bulls while often drawing the toughest defensive assignment.

Jimmy Butler is averaging a crazy 40 minutes a game and showing no signs of slowing down as he has improved as the season has rolled along so far. The Bulls have a new sense of swag so far this season and he is a huge contributor of that as the team really has came together and is just showing the tip of the iceberg of how good they can be.
