Former youth/high school teammate of Jimmy Butler didn't see Jimmy Buckets coming
Clearly not happy with second place, seventh-grader Jimmy Butler holds the runner-up trophy for the 2002 Mance Park tournament in Huntsville.No wonder there aren't many fantastical Jimmy Butler tales from his Tomball High and Tomball youth basketball days.

Along the way, Kyle had zero idea he was happily accepting passes from a future NBA star who'd go on to be known as “Jimmy Buckets.” “Jimmy was nothing special,” said Kyle, emphasizing he means that with all due respect of their childhood skills as they grew up just northwest of Houston. “He was a decent athlete and a role player at that time.”
“That Jimmy Butler is raw,” I recall telling Kyle after a Tomball game against Klein Forest. “But he’s got a little something.”
