Jimmy Butler is him.

At least, that was the message on social media after Butler's unbelievable 56-point performance on Monday night. His efforts helped Miami earn a comeback win over Milwaukee in Game 4 to take a commanding 3-1 series lead.

It was one of the most stunning playoff performances in recent memory, and it put the Heat on the brink of pulling off a shocking first round upset over the No. 1-seeded Bucks. Butler and his teammates are now just one win away from punching their ticket to the Eastern Conference semifinals. 

It led many to herald the return of "Playoff Jimmy." TNT's Reggie Miller even called it "the greatest playoff performance by any Heat player."

Here's a look at the best social media reactions from Butler's legendary Game 4 performance:
