Since the emergence of Jimmy Butler, I found a back story about his early life http://www.suntimes.com/sports/6146198-417/jimmy-butlers-path-to-bulls-its-a-belong-story.html Please lock if posted.
I'm sure a lot of cfners don't know the story because they didnt or don't know who butler is. I knew butler from Rookie season so maybe that's why it's old to me.
Love his game. The Bulls have been looking for a SG and they found one in Jimmy Butler. He plays great defense and can also score. He was the 30th pick, what a steal.
I went to high school with him. I probably only saw him once or twice and on people's facebook friends.
I used to play basketball with him at the 24 hour fitness on 249 and Jones Rd. I am friends with the Brad and Brenden Lambert who are part of the family who took him in. He used to come back and play at 24 when he was at Marquette quite a bit. It was fun to play on his team. Cool story bro, I know, but just thought I would share.
It's a testament to the Bulls' system as much as it is Butler's individual talent. I would love to be drafted to the Bulls, and play for Thibs.
Really nice guy. Went to high school with him, I was a freshman his senior year. Me being the only Asian kid in the basketball locker room, he gave me a Yao Ming bobblehead he had haha
Grew up and went to high school with him. Told him his junior year to quit passing the ball and shoot more!!! He's a good guy.
