That mom who took in a homeless kid despite having seven children already is an MVP caliber player in my book.

The fact that the Butler led an 8 seed all the was to the Finals for it the second time in NBA history is one of the greatest accomplishments ever

Jimmy Butler deserves respect for going from homeless to NBA superstar player.
I think people like Kobe Bryant and Jimmy Butler, who demand strictness from themselves and others, really choose their team.

I hated seeing my Bucks bounced out of the playoffs so early, but I've ALWAYS respected and loved Jimmy's game even during his Bulls days. He was always deemed a cancer for simply wanting to win and there's a reason he's led the Heat to two Finals in his career despite not being a superstar. Every team that forced him out is all the worse for it and it's clear his leadership is appreciated in a winning culture. He WILL win a ring one day and I'm gonna love it.

Jimmy a real one, he actually has interests outside of ball like Tennis, Soccer, Coffee and Country Music

I've always loved Jimmy, I can't root against Jimmy. Him and Dame are so real. Much respect. I hope he gets a ring.

How Jimmy was homeless but then taken in by a family with 7 kids. A white "mum" takes ina a homeless black boy - has me in tears. This is so beneficial for humanity.... Jimmy Butler's WHOLE life is changed by a mother and family's generosity and These small amazing acts of love are how communities and societies are brought together.

Jimmy's story is so sad and makes it that much more satisfying to see what he made of himself.

A fitting life for the son of Michael Jordan.

Damn, this dude clawed his way to the top with pure hardwork and determination, thats why he plays hard😮

As a Bulls fan, I miss him every day I watch the pathetic excuse of a “big 3” we have currently. Things would’ve definitely been different if we had an owner who cared and a GM who isn’t incompetent and surrounded him with talented players who care instead of trading away the only one who did.

He and Rose were my childhood, I’ll always cherish that team

In this cruel world, Jimmy is a spark of light...the tenacity, will power, can definitely bring you very far. ❤

[SS-hdkn]

He was very blessed to have someone accept him into their home and show him love and make him feel wanted.😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

This doc made Jimmy B one of my favorite players... period.

Yelling at all your teammates in practice because they aren't playing hard and tolerate losing is S tier leadership.

[kabelotshita]

Kobe would have freaken loved playing with him
