KH Classic: Jimmy Butler

After his historic 56 point performance last night, we’re throwing it back on Knuckleheads to our very first episode ever with none other than Jimmy Butler. The Heat’s superstar has delivered time and again for Miami in recent years. Q and D sat down with him before he ever donned Miami colors, right before his 76ers ran into the eventual champions, the Raptors, in 2019. A lot has happened to Jimmy since. Tap in to this classic! 

1. Going to JUCO then Marquette (5:54)
2. His struggles growing up in Texas, coming up as an unknown prospect (20:08)
3. 2011-12 Bulls creating his fiery mentality (23:09)
4. Being in Paris when he was traded from Chicago to Minnesota (46:05)

Originally aired on February 19, 2019
