Jimmy Butler Contract
Jimmy Butler

Jimmy Butler is one of the best players in the NBA today. Playing for the Miami Heat, Butler has the ability to play either as a shooting guard, small forward, or even power forward. Born in Houston, Texas, the six-time All Star had a very rough childhood. Even though his father left him and his family when he was an infant, and his mother at one point of time kicked him out of the house, Butler did not give up on life. He worked even harder to reach the highest level in the sport of basketball.

The 2011, first-round pick of the Chicago Bulls, Butler has been a consistent force to deal with on the basketball court. But what truly stands out is his gameplay during the playoffs which reaches a higher level. As a result, he is popularly known as ‘Playoff Jimmy’ in the NBA World.

Coming into the NBA, Butler was not seen as one of the top players. Even during his transition from high school to college, Butler was not ranked among the best basketball players. But when he came into the professional league, he didn’t take too long to start improving and reaching a whole new level on the court. And with that, he has now reached a point in his career where he can easily command a high-earning contract.
