Jimmy Butler
From the Set Modern Legends of the Court
Jimmy Butler arrived in the NBA overlooked and undervalued--Chicago selected him with the 30th pick in the 2011 Draft --but through the years became one of the game's most prolific postseason performers. Picking up the nickname "Playoff Jimmy" for his famous scoring binges and ability to get buckets in the most pressure-filled moments, he has twice pulled Miami into the NBA Finals with heroic performances. A six-time All-Star and five-time All-Defensive Team selection, Butler is one of the game's premier all-round players, with the ability to score in the paint and on the perimeter while being a game-wrecking menace defensively. Each title in the Modern Legends of the Court series engages young readers with fun and interesting special elements and bold, easy-to-understand graphics. Players' careers are detailed from beginning to end in an informative and entertaining narrative that readers will enjoy.
