Over the last few years, Jimmy Butler emerged as one of the key leaders of the Chicago Bulls franchise.

Those can include having to deal with a period of not having a permanent home and trying to find places to stay on a nightly basis. Or having your family kick you out of your home and forcing you to rely on yourself. But sometimes, rewards await those who persevere, and Jimmy Butler is a perfect example of that. Butler's case of starting from poverty all the way to basketball stardom is not a rare one. There have been a lot of players that have gone through similar circumstances. Allen Iverson and his family had lived in deep poverty before he broke out of it when he started starring in Georgetown in college. Kevin Durant was similarly situated. His mother had to support him and his brother by herself as they jumped from apartment to apartment. Even LeBron James had to suffer through poverty when his mom had him in her teens. However, Butler's story has a slight difference to how those other basketball superstars got out of poverty. Jimmy had to work his way up to it intensely. The thing about Jimmy Butler is that his NBA stardom was not as apparent and as quick as some of the league's best players. His debut did not carry the same weight as some of his peers who came straight out of high school or after just one season in college basketball. In fact, Butler played his freshman year at a junior college and then three years at Marquette University where he finished his studies in communication studies. And even at Marquette, he was not a standout college player.
