Jimmy Butler: “I think JUCO just so happened to be like the best thing for me”
Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler says that he’s extremely thankful for his time at Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Texas.
(via House of Highlights):
Melissa Rohlin: “If we can rewind a bit, you’ve talked before about having one D-I scholarship offer. What made you decide to go instead the JUCO route with Tyler?”
Butler: “I don’t know, but I’m grateful for Tyler Junior College. Taught me a lot about the game of basketball. I don’t know, I had so much belief in myself. Not to say that I’d be up here talking to y’all in the Finals, but I just knew I could be a really good basketball player, maybe make a little bit of money doing basketball overseas. They taught me a lot at Tyler Junior College about the game of basketball. And then, go to Marquette for three years. I think JUCO just so happened to be like the best thing for me. I couldn’t tell you that at the time. I was frustrated that I wasn’t playing Division I basketball, but my goodness, I’ve got so much love for Tyler Junior College.”
