Jimmy Butler has turned into a superstar right in front of our eyes in these 2020 playoffs. The Heat have certainly found their new franchise player in the post-Dwyane Wade era.

Butler's story is like a movie. He was homeless as a kid in Texas after his mom kicked him out of the house. Then, the Heat wing played Junior College Basketball before going to Marquette. Butler faxed his letter to Marquette from a Mcdonald's.

After getting drafted by the Chicago Bulls and playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves and Philadelphia 76ers as well, Butler has found a home with the Heat.
