Jimmy Butler has become a superstar before our eyes. Granted, the Chicago Bulls have some chemistry issues, and the news that Joakim Noah will miss the rest of this season after shoulder surgery was disheartening. But Butler has blossomed from once barely being a defensive specialist role player to a two-way star in his own right.
The wingman has even started bumping elbows with one of Hollywood’s elite actors in Mark Wahlberg, and the two have actually hit it off and become close friends. So much so that Butler sometimes attends the actor’s kids sporting events.
