KING Jimmy Butler: A Journey from a Challenging Past to NBA Stardom, Overcoming Homelessness and Struggles at the Age of 13

Before becoming the top star of the NBA, Jimmy Butler experienced a gritty life story until miracles happened!

Ignoring dozens of dry statistics, NBA fans all agree when saying that Jimmy Butler is one of the top stars in the league, with a salary of nearly $33 million per season.

For a basketball player, that seems to have been the peak that makes thousands of people fall in love, but the road to glory is not always lined with roses, for Jimmy Butler, things are even more grim than that

On September 14, 1989, little Jimmy Butler was born in Tomball, a suburb of Texas. Like many other NBA colleagues, Butler did not know his father’s face! He abandoned his mother and son to seek his own pleasure, and ‘responsibility’ is a deficit that is not in this man’s dictionary!

But that is not the end of suffering for Jimmy Butler because even the person who gave birth to him heartlessly gave up his son. At the age of 13, the skinny boy became an obstacle when his mother wanted to have a new lover.

‘I can’t imagine what could be more heartbreaking than my mom taking my hand out the door and saying, ‘I don’t like the way you look, you have to get out of this house!” Jimmy Butler choked on his story on a TV show.

At the age of 13, Jimmy Butler became a homeless boy without a penny in his pocket. After school, this middle school boy had to go to bed, begging for food from each of his friends’ houses. This situation went on for 6 years until a blessing suddenly appeared!

During a summer basketball tournament in his senior year at Tomball High, Jimmy Butler was accidentally noticed by a fellow freshman. Jordan Leslie challenged Jimmy Butler to shoot 3 points, and then they quickly became close brothers.

Leslie took Butler home, gave him food, clothes, and a place to sleep, day after day, month after month. Leslie’s mother reluctantly accepted Butler at first, but then the woman with seven children agreed to let the black boy roam the house.
