Jared Butler and Jimmy Butler have the same last name, but the two basketball players don’t have a biological relationship.
Many people also ask if they are brothers/ siblings, but they are not. The two players hail from different families and have different origins.
The only thing common between Jared and Jimmy is they are passionate NBA players.
Talking about family, Butler was born in Houston, Texas, on 14 September 1989. He has a different story of his childhood.
The Miami Heat official once disclosed that his father abandoned his family when Jimmy was still an infant. His mother kicked him out of the house at 13, saying, “I don’t like the look of you. You gotta go.”
Later, the NBA star lived between the homes of different friends. However, Jimmy said he shares a close bond with his parents. “I do not hold grudges,” said the small forward.
The 33-year-old basketball player is still in touch with his family. He said his parents love him, and he also loves them, which will never change.
Jimmy Butler has a brother named Jordan Leslie, who is a former football wide receiver. However, Jimmy and Jordan are not biological siblings.
When Jimmy Butler was homeless, Leslie’s family permitted him to live with them. That’s how they got close and referred to each other as brothers. They played basketball as teammates in the past.
On the other hand, Jared Butler was born in Reserve, Louisiana, on 25 August 2000 to his parents – Richard and Juanea Butler.
He grew up in his hometown and went to Riverside Academy. It is unclear if he has any siblings.
