Jimmy Butler

Knowing Jimmy Butler‘s story will immediately make you a fan of the person and his art on the court. Butler went from the 30th pick in the NBA draft to being a major piece with the Chicago Bulls, Minnesota Timberwolves, Philadelphia 76ers, and now the Miami Heat.

His departure from the 76ers is perhaps a major reason they were never able to take the next step of winning a championship.

Butler is a player who would be easy to embrace as a fan favorite due to his gritty style of play and his determined work ethic. While it might take a few years once his contract is done with Miami, it would be fascinating to see him play in a Charlotte Hornets uniform.
