#38 - Caron Butler: NBA Player/Author

02/15/17 • 69 min

Short Story Long
This week I have one of the NBA's most respected veterans and author Caron Butler. At the age of 11 he became a drug dealer and was arrested 15 times. Turning to the bible and god, he saw the basketball court at his detention center as a sign and started taking the game seriously. Drafted by the Miami Heat in 2002, Caron has had an incredible career with stories to go along with it. In 2015, he released Tuff Juice: My Journey from the Streets to the NBA.
