Top 5 Toughest Players In The NBA For Jimmy Butler To Guard

Another one on the list is former MVP winner, James Harden.

Do I really need to say more than the two words, “James Harden?” Harden has become the best current scorer in the NBA, leading the league with an average of 37.7 points per game. His ability to pull up from deep, confuse the defender, or drive in among defenses makes him a tough one to guard.

The other one on Butler’s list is a three-time NBA champion, Stephen Curry. Curry’s ability to pull up from anywhere on the court, a release quicker than the speed of lightning, and being an elite playmaker for his teammates makes him very difficult for anyone to guard, and it’s also made him an NBA MVP and three-time champion.

Everyone on Butler’s list is extremely reasonable and has a right to have made that list. With Butler being the elite defender he is, this just comes to show you the extreme offensive talent in our NBA.
