Queries on whether Jimmy Butler is the son of Michael Jordan have kept NBA fans engaged for years. As we all know, Michael Jordan is considered by many to be the greatest basketball player that the NBA has ever seen. He managed to win 6 NBA titles in the form of two three-peats, something that hasn’t been done in the modern era of basketball.
Jimmy is also quite an accomplished NBA player. Although his resume is still lacking a coveted NBA title. Following Butler’s stellar play in the first round of the 2022-2023 NBA playoffs against the Milwaukee Bucks, the theories and suspicions regarding his family tree have reemerged. With that being said, let us take a closer look at who Butler’s father is and whether it could actually be the Chicago Bulls legend.
Jimmy Butler’s mother kicked him out when he was just 13
Perhaps this wouldn’t be much of a discussion without the eerie connections between Butler and Jordan. According to many reports, Jordan is said to have had an illegitimate child during the time Jimmy was born. That, along with the fact that many fans feel they look similar, are the reasons why a connection between them has been theorized by fans.
However, there isn’t really any other proof or evidence to back up claims that Michael Jordan is Jimmy Butler’s father. Butler went through a difficult childhood and was kicked out of his house by his mother when he was 13 years old. Although we don’t know why, it was reported at the time that his mother simply didn’t like the way Jimmy looked.
Not much is mentioned about his father and all the theories linking him to Jordan only push the truth further away. Be that as it may, it turns out that Butler is still in contact with his parents named Jimmy Butler II and Londa Butler. Unfortunately, we don’t have much information about his parents and they have been hidden from the public eye. Therefore, the theories claiming that he is Michael Jordan’s son have grown rampant. It would be highly unlikely that his mother would kick him out of the house if he were indeed one of MJ’s heirs.In any case, we hope these conspiracy theories are soon debunked and that the right people are given credit for bringing Butler into this world.
