Caron Butler

Racine's own Caron Butler in the building! This week on Knuckleheads CB joins Q and D to go through it all. They chop it up about Darius and Caron’s early AAU battles, Caron reflects on his time in and out of jail during high school and overcoming that, and his unorthodox path to UConn. Caron talks about his relationship with Kobe when he played on the Lakers and what was so special about those Wizards teams with Gilbert Arenas and Antawn Jamison. We live on location from XS Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas — tune in!
