Love hearing stories like these. Hope he continues to ball out not only on the court, but in life.

What's funny is that he was made into a villain for a while when he was with the Wolves because of how intense he was in practices. It seems like the real problem was the lackadaisical attitude in the locker room and Jimmy B obviously doesn't roll like that.

Impressive journey to where he is today, and shout out to Tomball, TX!

Jimmy loves to blast off when partying

Especially with the Gasol bros in Spain or so I'm told

Jimmy hit 'em with that lockdown defense
LeBron twice his size, but Jimmy's straight beastin'
LeBron's stressed Jimmy gonna give him grey hair
What you talkin' 'bout, LeBron's hair ain't there
LeBron out here spraying hair out of a can
C'mon, LeBron, dude, shave your head man
Jordan shaved his head back in '89
Your hair's fallin' back, where you goin' draw the line?
And your arse can't handle power in the post
You give 'em room, he'll pop a jumper from the free throw
And you know I love my big homie, Joe King
I ain't gon' lie, homeboy, I love the whole team
Happy Mother's Day, LeBron, hope you having fun
Happy Father's Day, Lebron, cause you're Jimmy's son
Now the Cav's all 'bout to get slaughtered
Cause Jimmy Butler is your father
