Career timeline, milestones, and place among all-time greats.
Undrafted attention out of high school and a 30th overall pick in college — Jimmy Butler's rise from the margins of the draft to six-time All-Star and two-time Finals participant is one of the league's more remarkable underdog stories. Born September 14, 1989, in Houston, Texas. Height 6 ft 6 in (198 cm).
After starting at a junior college, he played at Marquette (2008–2011). Drafted 30th overall by the Chicago Bulls in 2011, he won Most Improved Player in 2015 before later playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, and, following a contentious 2025 trade request, the Golden State Warriors.
Nicknamed "Jimmy Buckets," Butler led the Miami Heat to two NBA Finals appearances (2020, 2023), becoming known for elevating his game dramatically in the playoffs. A six-time NBA All-Star, he has made the All-NBA Team five times and the All-Defensive Team five times, and led the league in steals in 2021.
