Jimmy Butler wasn't going to let the limits of his hotel room stop him from getting his reps in.

During last week's mandatory quarantine period upon arrival at the Walt Disney World resort, Butler was visited by a security guard who was investigating a disturbance complaint related to a thumping noise at the Miami Heat's hotel, sources told TNT's Chris Haynes.

Butler, reportedly drenched in sweat and in full practice apparel when he opened the door, had apparently been dribbling a basketball throughout his room.

The five-time All-Star's extreme dedication to his craft isn't unheard of. Prior to the start of the season, Butler said he woke up at 3:30 a.m. for his first Heat practice, which wasn't scheduled to start until 10 that morning.
