Jimmy Butler is clearly enjoying the experience of playing with Stephen Curry.
It obviously helps when Butler can see his 38 play-in points matched by 37 from Curry. But being on the same team as Curry is more of an all-encompassing experience than that, too.
Butler explained the difference between himself and Curry in the NBA’s pantheon after the Warriors beat the Grizzlies on Tuesday night to advance to the first round of the playoffs.
“I think any team has a chance when I’m on the team,” Butler began, “but I know that every team has a chance if Steph’s on the team.”

Then he went on to show how much he admires Curry by comparing himself to the sidekick in their partnership.
“I get to play Robin,” Butler said. “That’s my Batman.”

If they combine for 75 points a few times against Houston, Golden State’s duo very well might keep the postseason run going.
They’ve also got a chance at a second-round meeting with the Lakers, which would be the most talked-about series of the entire postseason.
If Robin keeps supporting Batman this well, look out.
