NBA: Comparing The League’s Stars To Characters From “The Wire”

Jimmy Butler, Wee-Bey

Loyalty: Wee-Bey was probably Barksdale’s most trusted and loyal member; similar things can be said about Jimmy Butler.

Both are going to come in and give you everything they have for the better of their organization. Also, before heading to prison, it was revealed to fans that Wee-Bey loved fish much like Jimmy Butler, who just bought a 6,000 pound boom box fish tank that houses 50 fish.

If it hadn’t been for the development of Butler, I’m not sure where the Chicago Bulls would be right now. After the last few injury-riddled seasons from Derrick Rose, Butler has given this franchise and out. They don’t have to rely so much on Rose, if at all, now that Butler has transformed into one of the, if not the, best two-way players in the NBA, certainly one of the best two-way shooting guards in the league.

The Chicago Bulls have found a keeper in good ole Jimmy. And he’s still only getting better. His future is bright and even that might be an understatement.
