Background and Age

Jimmy Butler III was born on September 14, 1989 in Houston, Texas. Growing up as a young man, Butler had the world against him with a father who relinquished the family when he was just a baby. His mom brought him up for quite a while just for her to later show him out when he was thirteen basically in light of the fact that she didn't care for his gritty looks.

With neither any cash nor family, he continued remaining with different companions as he got by every day. In attempting to keep things above water, Jimmy Butler got a test from Jordan Leslie to a 3-point-shooting challenge, this prompted a kinship and in spite of the fact that Jordan's family was enormous with numerous children, there was still space for Jimmy and that was the way he got another family. For Leslie's mom, Michelle Lambert, all she needed from him was to avoid trouble in the streets since her children admired him.
