One of the best small forwards in the league at the moment, Jimmy Butler III is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the Miami Heat. Nicknamed “Jimmy Buckets” by fans and the media for his mastery when it comes to scoring significant shots in the clutch, Butler is the perfect definition of an athlete who can manage to be at the top of his game on the pitch, while still being able to slacken himself when he is not playing. And that’s exactly what makes him an elite level player, someone who you’d most certainly would not want to go up against.

Jimmy Butler III was born on September 14th, 1989 in Houston, Texas to a father who abandoned him and his mother while he was just an infant. He was also kicked out by his mother Londa Butler at the age of 13, which resulted in him scouting around for foster homes in order to be provided with a roof over his head.

So it’s quite clear that life hasn’t been that comfortable for Butler, until he was declared for the 2011 NBA draft when he was picked by the Chicago Bulls. Butler is now a six-time NBA All-Star, a four-time All-NBA Team honoree and a five-time NBA-All-Defensive Team honoree.

NBA debut

Chicago Bulls: Butler was picked 30th overall by the Chicago Bulls in the 2011 NBA draft. His rookie season saw him get less opportunities to prove himself, as he played 42 games during the lockout shortened 2011-12 NBA season.
