Crazy theory in the NBA: Is Jimmy Butler the unrecognized SON of Michael Jordan?

The resemblance of the Miami Heat star to MJ, who never knew his father, gives life to an unusual belief that no one refuted.

Is Jimmy Butler the unrecognized son of Michael Jordan? Well, here you will not find a concrete answer to such a question. What you will see are the coincidences and similarities between the two that reinforce a theory more conspiracy than realitybut when seeing the arguments of those who support it nobody dares to refute forcefully. Let’s see.

How the legend of Jimmy Butler is born as the unrecognized son of Michael Jordan

Let’s go to the beginning of this legend that never stopped ringing. It all started in 2016when the medium Terezowens reported a bombing: Michael Jordan had a son in 1989 as a result of an infidelity during his relationship with Juanita Vanoy, mother of his firstborn, Jeffrey. MJ would not have wanted to recognize that child and sought with money to keep the fact a secret.

According to the said site, Jordan paid the mother until the boy was 13 years old. What did the woman do next? kicked him out of the house. Here you have to join stories, because at the same age, to Jimmy Butler His mother spoke words to him that he never thought to hear: “I don’t like the way you look. I want you to go away”revealed at the time the basketball player born in Houston, a city that Jordan visited several times in 1989. Undoubtedly, the strongest fact of the theory.

In February of that year, MJ was in Houston for the All-Star in February and, seven months later, on September 14, Jimmy was born. But it is worth clarifying that there is some information that does not add up: Butler was not seven months old, according to reports. This fact causes the story to lose some strength, although one more remains in favor of the followers.

No one knew Butler’s father nor was his name ever known. That’s how Jimmy ended up on the street, a situation that led him to depend on the kindness of his friends to have a roof to sleep in, until he was “adopted” by a family with seven children. He trained and became a player of the NBAchosen in the 2011 draft by the Chicago Bullsfranchise in which Michael Jordan became a legend. Could it have had something to do with the election?

Besides said story that fits right, it’s impossible to ignore the physical resemblance between Butler and Jordan. First of all, it should not be overlooked that both have been able to demonstrate their great talent with the orange ball. Then, how similar they are if we compare their body, face, competitiveness and even the way of playing.

Finally, it is added that none of those involved have discredited this version in all these years. The legend resurfaces every time Butler breaks it inside the rectangle, as he is doing in these NBA playoffs with Eastern Conference finalist Miami Heatin which he will face Boston Celtics.

Michael Jordan has five recognized children: three with Juanita (married between 1989 and 2006) and two with Yvette Prieto (2013 to the present). The first, Jeffrey, born in 1988, did not accept it at firstbut a lawyer had to intervene. Could the same thing have happened with Jimmy Butler, but with a different outcome? For now, only the protagonists know. And the people, let them talk.
