Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler revealed that his goal is to shoot 50 percent from 3-point range in the 2023-24 season
“It is,” Butler said when asked if his goal is to shoot 50 percent from 3-point range this season. “I missed – I’m sick too – so that means I got some ground to make up. But these guys, they actually believe I’m a 50-percent 3-point shooter. So, damn I love my teammates for that. Take ‘em whenever you’re open, which I will do. And if that’s what translates to wins, then we gotta take ‘em, and I gotta make ‘em.
